Words are luminous, aren’t they? When we think about the majesty of living words, I imagine they take flight upon the air like fireflies, sometimes touching skins left by forgotten trees.

Cafes & Connections
Such different people and experiences all existing in one place where an unspoken understanding wafts upon the air of coffee beans and bread yeast. "This cafe is our place of connection, whether we're alone or with others". Offering both stimulation and comfort. Inspiration and calm. Cafes stand unchanged as a paradox where everyone imaginable can find a place here. Things don't have to be complicated.
