When you have coffee,
You have hospitality;
To open the door for strangers,
To welcome the others;
In your home,
In your heart.

From one seed of coffee bean, 
comes chats so genuine!

[Inspired by Ministry of Commerce's billboard at Ahmad Yani International Airport, Semarang "Dari sebiji kopi, jadi obrolan sejati"]

Coffee builds community--
Sit with coffee lover,
Hold a cup of coffee;
Every topic will run better.

Death and resurrection.  
Life after death.  
Work after rest.
Isn't it like tasting the bitter of coffee without sugar?  
So bitter.  
So dark.  
Death.
 
Yet after you drink it up, 
you come up with bright view!  
You can stay awake.  
Your heart beats faster.  
You feel life.  
Resurrection!

As told in Ethiopian folklore that after Kaldi, the goatherd, discovered ripe berries, he brought to priests, but the priests threw them away to the fire at once thinking them hellish fruits, nevertheless the burnt beans brought about some good smells, and that was the beginning of a heavenly beverage that used to accompany priests during vigils.  So, it is not uncommon for modern day pastors and theologians who stay up late in the evenings to be near by a cup of coffee!
