Amphora, Coffee, and the Skye Between Us

It’s late afternoon, and the sun, though still steady in the sky, has begun to mellow — casting a warm, slanted light across the table and along the garage wall. I’m sitting still, not because I have nowhere to go, but because there’s nowhere better to be.

To my left, on the table, there’s coffee in a sturdy cup, still steaming faintly. Next to it, my pipe — filled with Amphora Full, packed not with precision but with care — rests like an old companion waiting for its cue. A little further along, the glass of Talisker Skye catches the sunlight. It's the kind of whisky that doesn't ask for attention but earns it the moment it’s tasted — sea salt, smoke, and something just slightly wild, like the memory of wind on a coastline long ago.

I lift the pipe and strike a match. The flame flares, then tames, and the tobacco begins its slow burn. The first draw is always a quiet return. It feels as if the day, with all its unsaid things, is exhaled in that single breath of smoke. Amphora Full doesn’t whisper or linger; it speaks with depth — earthy, round, a presence that settles into the moment without needing explanation.

I sip the coffee, now cooler, its bitterness welcome. It has seen me through mornings and muddles, and today, it simply is what it is: warm, dark, grounding. And then the whisky. Just a taste — the kind that rolls over the tongue and lingers. Talisker doesn’t hurry. It brings with it a wind from the north, a storm from the west, and settles with the memory of embers.

The door to the garden is closed. Not out of separation, but choice. There’s comfort in the frame it gives — in knowing the world is out there, and I am in here. Behind me, the back of the chair holds me just enough. Nothing demands, nothing pulls.

Then, a sudden flutter. No, not flutter — it’s too sharp for that. A flurry, a clatter of wings. Two doves, somewhere just beyond the hedge and in the tree, disputing something that seems, to them at least, worth the quarrel. It’s all sound and movement — no clear victor, no clear cause. Just the chaos of feathers and urgency.

I glance toward the noise and clap once, more out of habit than conviction. They don’t care. It’s their business, not mine.

The doves go quiet. Or perhaps they’ve moved on. There’s a peace in their absence, though their flurry added something. A reminder that even in stillness, life insists on itself. Even in moments carved out of routine, the world knocks — sometimes loudly.

I sit, and I smoke, and I drink — not in celebration, nor in sadness. Just in being. Some days settle lightly on your shoulders. Others arrive with a stillness that says more than noise ever could — a stillness that doesn’t ask questions, but makes you feel the answers anyway. It’s not grief, not anymore. It’s older than that. Quieter. A presence you carry without showing, a name you don’t say out loud, because it’s always been there. You feel it in how the light rests on the wall, slower somehow. In the breath of smoke that holds more than just tobacco. In the whisky, where warmth and sharpness meet. It lives in the space between sounds — in the pause after a wingbeat, in the weight of memory that asks for nothing, yet stays.

Today is such a day.

And still, it is enough.
