WOW – WORDS OF WISDOM – Y23 #7

It’s the last Wednesday in July, so I am posting a quote for my WoW challenge (words of wisdom), where you are invited to post a quote and to pair it with a photo that you took. In my today’s edition I am posting a sketch of mine as I photographed it. Not feeling very inspired, but rather sleepy I am sharing a coffe quote by anonymous.

ËœMay your coffee kick in before reality does.

I will be happy to see what quotes you choose to share for this challenge, and to see your photos. Have fun!

P.S. I am sorry I did not do this straight away. My sketch was inspired by Black Ivory Coffee even though I haven’t tasted it yet. It is the World’s rarest, most expensive and delicious coffee and elephants are to thank for that.

    I’m currently reading a book where reality has definitely kicked in and wondering whether to read to the end or ditch it now. I seldom do that, but you know, life doesn’t last forever. Hope the coffee didn’t leave you sleepless 🤗🩵

      It’s easy. In my “book” it is “ditch it” even though I studied literature, if it makes you more miserable than you already are – ditch it.

    Get the elephant off your cup and start gulping!! I love your picture. I didn’t use any of them but I have a handful of coffee&elephant photos in my archives. Why are elephants so often associated with coffee? The African connection seems strong but is that all there is to it?

    Oh, my coffee definitely has to cut in before I can begin any day. Great image too. I’m joining you for the first time today: https://margaret21.com/2023/07/26/inspiration-is-needed-in-geometry-just-as-much-as-in-poetry/

    Thanks for the enlightenment. I get it. I only knew of a similar “method” involving Asian civets. And I’m not sure I want to try it.

        Wiki says Asian Palm Civet – but I have no direct knowledge. The coffee is called Kopi luwak.

          You are right. I was told differently.
