Thoughts of Tea

A tea set given to me by a dear friend in Taiwan when I retired from Nike. The woven piece is so nice on the teapot, it protects the fingers from the heat of the pot. The finish on the pot is so smooth to the touch and the teapot has a small filter inside to keep the tea leaves from flowing into the cup. I enjoy holding this cup in my hands while I enjoy my tea. Sharon, thanks so much for a lovely tea set.

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.

--Thich Nat Hahn

If man has no tea in him,

he is incapable of

understanding truth

and beauty.

--Japanese Proverb

Tea is drunk to forget

the din

of the world.

--T'ien Yiheng.
