I believe in coffee and pie. No matter what storms bluster and howl outside, the two cosmic circles will always prevail. Think about it. You have a cup of coffee made of circles, stare down at your cup and watch the swirls of java do their swirly mysterious steamy best to distract and relax you. Warmth in a cup. When you are ready, most likely after drinking some of the dark brew, turn your attention to the plate, which is most likely a circular plate. A wedge of pie is part of the whole, a piece of pie, a slice of circle.

How utterly mind blowing is that? And we are not talking anything difficult to acquire here, but sometimes challenging enough to add that extra thrill of achievement. From diner pie under fluorescent lights to a whole homemade pie lit by lantern light cooling on your kitchen counter, it is all about circles and comfort and outright yumminess.

Coffee & Pie are the dynamic duo of goodness, combined they have the power to take a so-so situation and make it fun.

And if anyone dares try to harsh your buzz (gawd forbid you give yourself a bad time, no self-guilt trips allowed) consider punishing them by babbling about mystery circles. Make stuff up, claim you must go forth and........you will surely be left alone to enjoy your coffee and pie.

Or you can invite others in, pour cups of coffee and slice that pie, while the circle of simple pleasure expands. Hospitality is a circle. Share.

World peace? Sure thing. Just sit everyone down in a circle and serve them Coffee and Pie.
