My tea is steeping; I'm in morning mufti, shabby muscle shirt moccasins tangled hair awry, no ceremony this, though faint memories of distant lives at times do raise polite eyes in shadows awaiting recognition. I ignore them as I must, waiting for a time to fill, knowing they will understand simply it is about the cup the water patience and the choice of tea, about precision in the steps and in the end releasing me. ©2006 by icebox . |

and the choice of tea, about precision in the steps and in the end releasing me. Siyo oginali how many will read and never understand the depth of meaning in such words,while the patients of a life time can be seen in the steam when that certian choice of tea is as it should be!Sigi for the lesson!

I loved your tea ceremony, it holds all the dignity of a Chinese traditional one. a good commitee can decimate communication. |
