coffee 31

Some days I miss coffee more than others.  Some days I don't miss it at all.
What are the things we miss every day, even when we have it
These are the important things in life
Oxygen is one, of course.  It is sorely missed when it is not there.
Beauty is another.  The beauty of someone else, the beauty of the world around us.
Who has lived in a place that was or that they considered ugly?  Who has escaped for a brief
moment from uglyness and found themselves transfixed and perhaps transformed by a sight of great beauty?  We should, perhaps, feel most sorry for those who toil their lives away without this experience.
