The candle is lit, the tea is poured.
Breakfast is on the plate.
Early on January 1, 2014 I sipped my first cup of tea,
a private celebration.
A perfect way to face a new year and reminisce
and give thought to the new year.
In my cup was Risheehat Wiry Musk, second flush, Darjeeling.
On my plate were freshly baked scones with
orange marmalade, dates, and dried apricots.
The morning was dark, a foggy morning, and the house was very quiet.
As the sun rose on the new day and year, I felt a peace wash over me.
Do you take time for these quiet moments?
I hope so, as they are so precious and so healing.
Enjoy the early morning hours with a special cup of tea.
Time to pray, time to sing, and time to dream.
