cozy cafe - tables with strangers

I don't blog here much, but I wanted to somehow capture this feeling...
I loved this excerpt from the newest Gaia Update newsletter:
"I'm writing this from a cafe in downtown Boulder. The place is too crowded for all the customers, so people have started to double-up at tables with strangers, and the coziness is wonderful. The students sitting across from me are sharing a mug of hot chocolate and studying for an upcoming exam; the table next to me has struck up a conversation about apple butter. It's cold out—the foothills above Boulder were dusted with white this morning—but the cafe is toasty from all the people inside, and I can't help but think we have so, so much to be grateful for."
The scene is so different from my normal day in Florida. I loved imagining it. Although I would be terrified of "intruding" on a table with strangers, it made me feel more at ease to know that people do it all the time, when necessary, and that it's not intruding, and that it can be a wonderful, social, cozy experience. To me, that seems exciting - adventurous. And yes, absolutely yes, we have so much to be grateful for.
Siona is so beautiful in so many ways. Thanks for sharing that moment with us, dear soul sister...
