Whoa, that is a fierce light on my breakfast -- the unrestrained light of morning. Two days in a row now I've taken my breakfast here whilst sitting down with the newspaper, as opposed to my previous habit of eating in transit. The sitting method is better because it makes me feel like I've invented a brand new realm of time. It's just me, the news in a tactile form, an austere plate, and the generous clarity of early light.Also, that's not a ritual blood-letting on my bagel -- that's hot sauce. Hot sauce adds grit and challenges the ease of the cream cheese. The bagel is of the "everything" sort. It's best to start the day by being open to the world.
