Regardless wich country we are, we have a national beverage that is a synonymous of "have a break"

It could be coffee, tea, beer,... It doesn't matter if is alcoholic or not.

I was thinking about this last week during a travel in the middle of the italian mountains, while I was driving I tought about how to plan pauses just to drink a little cup of italian coffee.

By the way, I am italian, so every reason is good to take a coffee. [any italian here?]

It is like if we need an excuse to pause for a moment the flowing of life, to find a moment that stands as a rock in the middle of a river.

Motionless and surrounded by the flow of life.

As if the simple gesture of adding sugar or take a sip could be a spell that give us a superhero power to watch reality from outside.

...and this is what I'm thinking while I'm driving.
