solo lunches
solo lunches are like small capsules of isolation, mini pauses. funny what it can do to one's spirit - i feel renewed, and centred.
sat at a streetside cafe reading, ate some toast, had some iced mocha, people-watched, breathed. soaked up the heat of noon - i've had just about enough of the stifling air-conditioned office that pales and withers my soul.
i love the contrast of the two worlds that was present - my quiet absorbed self nose deep in a book, and the crowded bustling surroundings. sporadically alternating my consciousness between these two realities gave the cafe-dweller in me a deep sense of satisfaction.
after having drunk enough silence, i walked back under the midday's sun allowing my skin to absorb more warmth before i step into the dreariness that is my office.
