Welcome to Larissa's Parlour

Hello dear one!

There are many rooms within the Celestial Café.

Some are bright with conversation. Some are filled with the scent of fresh bread or the quiet turning of pages. Some hold travellers only briefly before sending them on their way.

This room belongs to Larissa.

The kettle is usually warm. The chairs rarely match. The flowers arrive when they please.

I serve as Mistress of the Brew here at the Celestial Café. My work is not simply to pour tea or coffee. It is to notice who has arrived, who is preparing to leave, and who has paused at a threshold without yet realising it.

Not all journeys begin with fanfare.

Some begin with a conversation.

Some begin with a memory.

Some begin with a cup placed gently before you at exactly the right moment.

You are welcome to stay awhile.

The brew is just ready.

Larissa
