Slow Sunday: Coffee & Notebooks

Slow Sunday: Coffee & Notebooks

"What struck me most was the silence between sentences — nobody rushed to fill it."

Your host

Six of us around one small table, three hours, no phones. We began with the usual weather and work, and ended somewhere else entirely: what we are each paying attention to, and what has been patiently waiting for it.

Someone read a paragraph from their notebook aloud. Someone else cried a little, laughing at the same time. The coffee went cold and nobody minded.

We left slower than we arrived. Something shifted — it always does.

Leave one line

For the people who were there — one line is enough.

The next table is being set.
