Have you heard the maxim “A friend in need is a friend indeed?” I guess you have, you are smart, aren’t you? People usually find and make friendships out of people, different animals, imaginary and fictitious friends, dolls, books, anything you might think of! Well, I just want to write about something I consider my friend - the coffee – yeah, the black, perfectly smelling liquid which wakes up the half of the 7 billion population of the Earth. No scientific details, substances, whatever, that proves how healthy or unhealthy is coffee. I just want to share several moments with me, my coffee and… you. Such an intimacy!

| A friend in need is a friend indeed! |
“The Sun
is shining mercilessly, telling you “Wake up, it’s 8:00, time for work!” You
are tired, you are sleepy and let’s say, you aren’t very fond of your job. You
are feeling like you are getting out of the morgue, not your own bed… but there
is a little hope tickling you – the coffee. It will give you this life-giving
impulse to face the routine. Well, after the first cup of coffee the world seems
a whole lot better place.”
“You are a
student… you have an awful exam tomorrow, you have no idea what is it about,
you feel like an Earth man on Mars. But… suddenly a great idea crashes into
your burdened mind – let’s make a coffee and relax, and sit down and start
reading and… I can make it tomorrow!”
“ You got
back from the beach, took a shower, now you just rest… your body is still
burning, but you are outside, it’s afternoon, everyone is napping, you feel the
cool breeze caressing your hairs, sheltered from the sun… and you order a
coffee. Completeness, the perfect relaxation, a dream that already came true.”
“Sitting
on your desk, using your PC, but your brain is blocked! You can’t answer this
email, it’s boring, it’s stupid, you want to suffocate this pretentious client…
have no idea how to answer! Hm, you think, let me take one coffee, maybe I will
think of something… and like the best friends are supposed to act, this black
liquid takes you out of the darkness, makes you forget and gives you something
that no one else can – unlimited horizons!”
“Late
summer melancholy has wrapped the whole landscape. The sun is saying, quietly and
magically, goodbye to all people, trees, plants and beasts. You’ve just arrived
to an unknown place, and the locals are staring at you. You know this very
well, you’ve been a traveler all your life. And you know how to turn this
curiosity into а
friendliness. You just sit next to one of the people and say “Hey, you want
coffee?” A little smile starts cracking the ruddy face…”

| We all do! |
I
really love coffee – the way it looks like, its effects, the way it smells, these
moments when it was my only companion. And I know where and when to find my
friend in need!
