"400 Years To The Past:
Forever, for Always, for all those Invisible that stood,
This is our Periwinkle, this is our doleful Elegy.
400 Years To The Present:
Forever, for Always, for all those Invisible that rise,
This is our Periwinkle, this is our living Battlecry." -Battlecry of The Periwinkle, Dav Kirk, 2025
The Elegy of the Periwinkle continues as The Battlecry for all Invisible People in our 2025 storyline coffee release!
“I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.” -The Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison, 1952

Best enjoyed at least 7 days after the printed roast date (aka the "incubation" period).

Pride: Rainbow Static
(Raspberry, Citrus, Plum, Almond, Honey)
Think back to a time when televisions were a box set and not a screen, when your evening sitcom was transmitted through a TV antenna or beamed to a large satellite dish out in the yard, instead of streamed through high-speed internet. Late into the night, transmissions would end with the familiar, monotone drone accompanied by colorful, vertical bars. The night owls still up beyond that were met with Rainbow Static; sometimes with hints of audio and picture attempting to break through at times. Eventually, the signal would reform on the TV set. The movement of Pride draws a parallel in that what a community that "Loves Out Loud" in Unity looks like is becoming more clear each day!

"There was a little boy who loved caterpillars. One day he found one, took him home and made a home for him. He watched this caterpillar everyday making sure he had plenty of food & water.
One day the caterpillar started creating a cocoon...here he would go through a metamorphosis and become a butterfly. This was so exciting, the little boy couldn’t wait to see the butterfly!
One day it happened, a small hole appeared in the cocoon and the butterfly started to struggle to come out. The little boy was so excited! But then he noticed the butterfly was struggling so hard to get out and it looked like the butterfly wasn’t going to be able to break free!
The little boy was so worried for the butterfly that he decided he had to help. He quickly got a pair of scissors and snipped the cocoon to make the hole bigger and the butterfly quickly emerged!
But the butterfly had a swollen body and small shriveled wings. The little boy sat and watched the butterfly expecting that, at any moment, the wings would dry out, get bigger and expand to support the swollen body.
But it never happened!
The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.
It never was able to fly…
He later learned that the butterfly was supposed to struggle. In fact, the butterfly’s struggle to push its way through the tiny opening of the cocoon pushes the fluid out of its body and into its wings. Without the struggle, the butterfly would never, ever fly. It was the struggle that made it stronger."
