The Enlightened Barista

By Frank Elaridi

The barista drew an imprint of a rose in the foam in the cup of expresso, but no one would notice it. The customer would drink it without ever taking a moment to admire his masterpiece. Nothing ever changed. Each cup he brewed wounded his spirit. But the course of the Lebanese youth's life changes forever when he meets a Spanish nomad named Raphael, who tells him about the Great Guru in Rishikesh, India. "I have to remind you, there is no guarantee that the Great Guru will see us," Raphael warned. "In my brief meditation, I heard the song, and now I seek the choir," Matias said. "I have to try." As we follow Matias' journey from an ambitious youth to a seeker of truth, we learn life lessons along with him and call out our innocence from its hiding place in our hearts.
