Sorting through magazines recently I came across an article by James Norwood Pratt.
It is titled Tea is Sunshine.
Holding a cup of tea in my hands does often feel like sunshine cupped in my hands,
especially in the midst of a cold winter day.
"Tea is sunshine held together by water, a fragrant song composed
during the life span of a leaf on a mountainside somewhere."
"Tea restores a distorted nervous system to normal functioning and
thus enables us to live our ordinary lives extraordinarily well."
"Momentary peace of mind and body is no small gift."
When savoring your tea today or anytime in the future,
hold it in your hand, enjoy the "peace of mind and body",
and take pleasure in the gift tea gives us through the warmth in the hands
and the delight of imbibing.
What's in your cup today?
