Coffee pots. Coffee cups. Coffee makers. Hand-crafted coffee. Coffee-drinking culture. Coffee and health. Coffee as medicine. Coffee as leisure. Discourse ownership of coffee culture. History of cafes. Politics of world produces. First generation coffee culture. Second generation coffee culture. Third generation coffee culture. Fourth generation coffee culture. Connoisseur perspective. Political history of coffee culture. Coffee academy. Barista. Cafes. Coffee furniture. Coffee-table books. … We are joking!!! Replace “coffee” with any noun — personal obsessions of yours. A tentative thought that may fuel up the slow sip of a cuppa.

Evelyn Char / 恩寵、剝落、熄滅（四段之一）
/ 查映嵐 (Evelyn CHAR) (i) 你是此生最美好的恩寵（當時我沒有發現），我或非你最愛之人， 但你的小身體，始終慷慨，可以無止境地給予，在你那裡沒有傷害，只有最深最純粹的，兩個生命體之間的交通。但這樣的恩寵被沒收了，如是我流落在這個荒野般的現世，再也沒有倚靠與憑藉，再也沒有歸去的處所。我獨自在這世上，失去恩寵的世界， 只剩下無止盡的黑暗，那是一個沒有光、沒有風、沒有水的星球，我衣不蔽體，只能在那裡承受並等待，接續而來的傷害。
