Yesterday, I chuckled at myself, as I was turning my head in circles, trying to catch everything that was going on around me (you know, squirrels eating, birds chirping). I'm trying to be satisfied by just focusing on one or two things. Who would guess this could be a challenge even just sitting under a pine tree?L.L.

He is from England so during the week he uses teabags but on the Sabbath he sets a full tea and uses real tea leaves like he learned when he was growing up. Sitting and savoring true tea is rest to Him.I need some coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208419285258583391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329178894266959181.post-9048939193819290752007-03-20T07:58:00.000-04:002007-03-20T07:58:00.000-04:00"can someone be as passionate about their tea?" Yo..."can someone be as passionate about their tea?" You bet!<BR/><BR/>I didn't find The Cage, so I had to sip my cup of Lipton(!) in the Exhibit hall. Not so easy to savor in the noisy environment, but it was good to just sit and reflect for a bit.<BR/><BR/>My children's British great-grandmother once taught them (and me) how to brew "a proper pot of tea". It took a bit of time and fussing, as did setting the tea table. But that process set the stage for the time of enjoyment after. You just can't rush through a "proper" tea.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395699574182189503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329178894266959181.post-14444933254110433252007-03-20T01:10:00.000-04:002007-03-20T01:10:00.000-04:00Mmmmm, coffee.

I miss being able to hole up in a coffee shop and just sit, reflectively (or reading) with a good cup o' joe.<BR/><BR/>"In my fear of missing something, I miss everything." - what a great point. Sometimes I get so caught up in doing, doing, doing, that I miss the point of the doing in the first place. I think I do this with friendships sometimes too. I get so caught up in "being a good friend" (and being perceived as a good friend) that I sometimes forget about the enjoying the friendship part.spaghettipiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902077982034676653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329178894266959181.post-13524505114092980532007-03-19T18:03:00.000-04:002007-03-19T18:03:00.000-04:0023 Degrees - Yes.

I also love how you remind me to see and savor the "small" moments. <BR/><BR/>I have a coffee press in my office, which raises eyebrows—until I make a cup for someone.<BR/><BR/>I am remind of a poem about tea (can someone be as passionate about their tea?) I don't much about this person (disclaimer) but I like the quote:<BR/><BR/>“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.” Thich Nhat Hanh23 degreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269271075086462618noreply@blogger.com
