Thoughts on Tea

Tea is one of those things that helps make sense of the world.

Tea takes time and there is a right way to do it. What is “right” for you may be similar to what works for many others, but is ultimately a personal choice.

Patience and care are rewarded with satisfaction. The process of doing things right can be a beautiful thing, even an art form.

If you are overly hasty, the experience is bland and watered down.

If you are careless or under-attentive, things end up getting bitter.

No matter what life throws your way, just approach it like tea. Take your time to think things out, to act and speak carefully and thoughtfully, and to live with a sense of inner peace. Then when you have done it correctly, you have earned the right to sit back and enjoy it.
