Working and living in Phoenix, Arizona has its pro’s and con’s. If you go outside in the summer you will melt. However, our winters are so subtle you could hardly call it a season. For me though the most challenging aspect is the constant commute. The city is gigantic. I am shackled to my steering wheel everyday and I’m forced to ponder my existence.
There is a side effect though. The transit allows me to traverse my world and creates discoveries. These lead to new thoughts, memories and help establish a new baseline of thinking. The more this evolution occurs the better. With each data point I am able to make better evaluations and predictions which hopefully lead to a fuller life.
Deseo is a symptom of that commute. I discovered this bite sized café months ago along my route to work. This expensive little coffee house has proven to provide me with sound focus. I lean on its warmth recently and see it as a treat to myself for all the hard work I put in. This locally owned and operated shop begs for you to stay inside its small and wonderfully decorated interior. The lack of space is not a turn off but rather an intimacy. It feels safe. It smells great and the whirling sound of espresso machines and music fills me with happiness.
If you are in the area feel free to explore this tiny affair. You won’t regret the drinks.
