It’s that time of the morning when you have just finished the coffee.

Have you ever thought when does the switch of mind happen?

What is that serendipitous action, or fraction of a moment that takes you from proceeding through a series of automatic blurred actions to your agenda for the day. 

Look up at the sky 

Love the contrast of the geometry of the buildings, the clouds, the blue, the grey, the green of whatever nature you are surrounded by. 

All those contrasts tell you how many ideas and thoughts will clash in your mind for the day. Here there are corners, palms and clouds: busy day.

Clouds.

I always think are the most dangerous form of thought equivalent: they have no shape to begin with, they move quickly, they morph into something else in a blink of an eye, the can pour down in rain, they are volatile, they are attractive and tempting, yet they can take you in obscure places. 

Palms.

They are not as familiar to me as cypresses are.

Corners.

Do they represent obstacles? You can always walk around them. 

Follow the lines. 

Like when you were a kid learning to write cursive. Stay within the lines, use the space correctly. This is a reminder to respect the rules, don’t write mistakes, don’t break the code and be punctual.

Look outside your window. 

My most cherished university professor used to say that to make a good journalist you have to look outside your balcony, don’t get caught in the story, look it up from outside and you see what you need to tell people, that is the dirty truth not poisoned by personal opinions.

So these are two masterfully made windows of The Alchemist (steel cut fashion choices) that blend in Lincoln Road (where reality hits in terms of fashion choices). The result is the greatest arroz con mango that Miami Beach is and the reason why we love it. 

Stay grounded.

Flora and fauna, stone all 100% made in South Florida (that’s the way to go).
