Coffee Company
I’ve been here before. I’ve never seen this space more than once but I’ve been here before. I’m drinking an Amaretto Brown Sugar Latte & looking around the room I can sense the stale air around me. The walls are made of thick, old, red brick, and the ceiling fans spin, but nothing seems to be made from any part of it. A single wall holds metal grids atop plaster with painting sprawled across each grid. Laid out before my eyes, I see the hues of blue, yellow, pink, with birds, flowers, Spider-Man, and Squirtle in the likeness of Legos. The much larger specialty portraits are hanging alone on the left, their reflections speak loudly to me, and I see now that they reflect something that I see inside myself. The Moon and The Empress.
The Moon is shifted on her back, flowing gracefully in the cool moonlight. The stars dance above her while she stretches and flows with the reeds beside her. Her back arched towards the ground while one knee bends above her, the other keeping low so that her foot — pointed — may keep her stable. While she flows, the moon exists within her, gracefully showing its presence in a vast room that shines above us all.

The Empress. While she took some time for me to decipher, I have to say she is sweet, nurturing, and patient. She listens to the sun as it guides her further into the mellow grassy grove in front of her. Where she steps, she may not know — but she will soon understand that where it leads is where she needs to be. The shining sun burns bright yet remains soft to remind us that it is carefree and good-natured in some way. She — The Empress — stands before the sun and the grassy grove, ready to take her intuition to heart and carry herself forward through the murky meadow ahead.
Please instill within yourself a kindhearted nature like that of The Empress and The Moon. They are truly of the wisest and swiftest with judgment and carefree softness. Seek not of greed or disarray. Be portrayed through grace, distinguished beauty, and frivolity. The inner grace and peace we seek is found within ourselves, but we may only be able to see them if we breathe to the beat of the Earth and feel serenity inside our hearts.
