The Filter Girls from Coffee Basket


This is the story of
The Coffee Filter Girls
They come from a far away village known only as
The Coffee Basket.
It's a very small place,not much bigger
than the palm of your hand.
Most mornings the weather is hot
and very,very humid.
The evenings are cold and damp.
They live a humble, happy and quiet life in
the Coffee Basket.
They are like us in most ways
with one odd exception,
they do not have a mouth
they have learned to speak to each other
without the use of words.
How can that be you ask?
You see,in this small village they do not need a mouth to communicate.
They use the gifts they were born with.
Their GOD given talents
Speaking through their Love,through their Art,through Sisterhood and
through the quiet solitude
of morning meditation and reflection.
They are able to communicate
and speak their truths.
"there are many ways to speak without words"
they tell me
"you just need to learn how"
"Please, will you teach me?"
I ask,almost pleading with them.
"Listen to your heart
and you will find your way"
I am not sure as to how many Filter Girls live in the village
but I do hope you enjoy them as much as I do,
and maybe,just maybe they will inspire you to learn
how to speak without words.

"Just use the gifts you were born with."
