Café con Leche
Café con Leche is caramelized warmth. Sweet, creamy, rich, a colorway that comforts the soul. It evokes the banded cream and warm taupe tones of an owl’s feather. The owl has carried wisdom since antiquity, companion to Athena, seeing what others cannot in the dark. The amber honey-tipped energy of a dripping hive.
This is the register of the high north, drawn from austere landscapes, snow-capped peaks reaching toward the heavens, the clarity of thin cold air and stratus clouds. Veils of thought swirl.
This is the crown register. Sahasrara, the thousand-petalled lotus at the top of the head, the seat of connection to spirit and higher consciousness, sounded at 963 hertz, the highest of the body’s tones.
Café con Leche reminds us how thin the veil is between the physical earthly plane and spirit. It infuses sweetness into the stillness and brings you closer to spirit. Listen. Worn, purity of thought and intention radiate in your field, protected from the noise. You are illuminated, connected, tuned into the cosmos. Ethereal.
