THE SUN-DAY paper
A collection of SO COFFEE Inspirations
Coffee itself has never been our primary inspiration, we don’t just think about coffee all day and all night. We don’t just do one thing. We all might find comfort in defining ourselves with one particular thing, trying so hard to be defined, static, finite, squared. We are not just roasters, just a coffee shop, we don’t just roast, sell, and serve coffee.
The best part of our job is the spontaneous chats in cafes, outside the sphere of work and daily duties. So, every Sunday we are sharing a few "things" (books, podcasts, events, shows, around-the- world-stories) that caught our attention and made us think differently.
PODCAST OF THE WEEK: “AS ME WITH SINEAD, REZA ASLAN EPISODE” :
“Storytelling is not about how you understand the world, but how you understand yourself, making sense of who you are as an individual and how you fit into an indeterminate world.
The moment that changed how I experience my own identity is the 9/11. Before that I was allowed to be many different things: Muslim, Iranian, Middle-Eastern; after 9/11 I was labeled only Muslim, which I never really had been completely. The others forced that identity up on me.”
“Institutions are not built for change, by definition, they are built to last. An individual, however, is the opposite: has to be constantly shifting and changing, evolving, growing, adapting.
The core of a functioning democratic society is pluralism, by which we mean that are many, many way to be us, to define ourselves with, there are aspects that connect us and make us part of a single nation but within that there are multiple ways of being and those should be celebrated.”
BOOK OF THE WEEK: “SPRING” by ALI SMITH.
“ If you don’t know how lucky you are to be even discussing the chance of a choice, then you are really, really lucky.”
