A Cup of Something

Abdelazim Tamimi Each and every morning we wake up and we go to the kitchen and prepare something to drink whether it was milk, coffee or Herbal tea..etc. We do this basically every morning not for the pleasure of going to the kitchen and doing something. It is something deeper, something exists in our sub-conscious, which is the pleasure of sitting alone, with our own thoughts, thinking about the future or maybe claiming past memories. In this very act of drinking a cup of something we start to plan for our future, or having private conversations with ourselves. We totally become honest with ourselves sometimes we blame ourselves and other times praise us. However, this cup of something may function as a sad event, when you drink it with some sense of nostalgia. When you are remembering someone who is no longer in your present, you start drinking it as if he/she were with you. You drink it and imagine you are conducting conversation with him/her. For you is the best five minutes of your day, because you get the chance of reliving the past. The time that you spend in drinking a cup of something may not exceed ten minutes, but the impact that it has on your day is immense. Because you get the chance to recapture yourself in a very short time and you get yourself a little push to survive your present day.
