Hello coffee lovers on Hive!
How wonderful it is when sunrises are filled with what seem to be coincidences! I say "supposed" because, as you know, I'm one of those who thinks more about cause and effect than mere coincidence.
It doesn't matter what term we use, but rather how daily life surprises us with the unexpected.
@cinnccf invites us this week to reflect on the past, on a cup of coffee that might evoke memories, and to think about what that cup represented then and how we see that memory now.
Well, you see. Just a few days ago, ArĂstides Vega ChapĂș, a renowned poet in my country, invited me for coffee at his home. An invitation I accepted, of course, with great joy and pride.
Going to his house for coffee reminded me of the time I visited Venezuela, or other years ago when, as a teenager just starting out on the path of literature as a writer, I also had the good fortune to enjoy, for endless hours, valuable conversations always accompanied by coffee in other houses where he has resided.
When you have the opportunity to meet people who teach you so much about life and remain humble, the coffee is magnified in its aroma and flavor as the central element of a ritual accompanied by the art and wonder of the human beings who welcome it.
As if we were back in those years, I was once again able to admire priceless works of art: paintings by Zayda del RĂo, Mayito, and other renowned artists who have traveled the world and still reside in our country.
The coffee cup, also designed and decorated by one of these artists, was the perfect vessel to accompany the delicious Cuban coffee he brewed that day, which brought a smile to my face with pure pleasure.
Likewise, perhaps you've had a similar experience and would like to share it with us. Meanwhile, I'll have another cup of coffee and say goodbye, but not before sending each of you a big hug of light!
This is my participation in the contest that @cinnccf proposes to us through the #CinnamonCupCoffee community.
Thank you very much for your visit!

¥Hola amantes del café en Hive!
¥Qué maravilla cuando suceden los amaneceres cargados de coincidencias supuestas! Digo supuestas, porque, como ya saben, soy de los que piensan mås bien en lo causal y no lo coincidente.
No importa el tĂ©rmino que utilicemos, sino mĂĄs bien cĂłmo el dĂa a dĂa nos sorprende en la contemplaciĂłn de lo inesperado.
@cinnccf nos invita a reflexionar esta semana sobre el pasado, sobre alguna taza de café que pudiera evocarnos recuerdos y pensar en qué
representaba esa taza entonces y cĂłmo vemos ese recuerdo ahora.
Pues vean ustedes. Precisamente hace pocos dĂas, ArĂstides Vega ChapĂș, un poeta de gran renombre en mi paĂs, me invita a tomar cafĂ© en su casa. InvitaciĂłn que aceptĂ© por supuesto con toda alegrĂa y orgullo.
El hecho de ir a su casa a tomar café, me hizo recordar la ocasión en que visité Venezuela u otros años atrås cuando, siendo yo un adolescente que apenas iniciaba por el camino de la literatura como escritor, también tuve la fortuna de disfrutar, durante interminables horas, charlas valiosas siempre acompañadas de café en otras casas donde él ha residido.
Es que, cuando uno tiene la oportunidad de conocer a personas que te enseñan tanto sobre la vida y permanecen humildes, el café se magnifica en su aroma y sabor como ente central de un ritual que se acompaña por el arte y la maravilla de los seres humanos que le acogen.
Como si estuviĂ©semos en aquellos años, en esta ocasiĂłn tambiĂ©n pude deleitarme de obras de arte de incalculable valor: cuadros de Zayda del RĂo, Mayito y otros reconocidos pintores que han dado la vuelta al mundo y aĂșn permanecen en nuestro paĂs.
La taza de cafĂ©, tambiĂ©n con diseño y decorado de uno de estos artistas, era el recipiente ideal para acompañar el delicioso cafĂ© cubano que Ă©l hizo en este dĂa y ante lo cual la sonrisa era inevitable con todo placer.
AsĂ mismo, quizĂĄs ustedes han tenido alguna experiencia similar y quisieran compartĂrnosla. Mientras, ahora mismo tomo una nueva taza de cafĂ© y me voy despidiendo, no sin antes ofrecerles a cada uno de ustedes un fuerte ÂĄabrazo de luz!
Esta es mi participación en el concurso que nos propone @cinnccf a través de la comunidad Cinnamon Cup Coffee.
