Monday's Tea Quote

The Prayer in a Teacup

I stand at my window and watch
One by one the stars all leave me
I am having tea with the dawn
The first ray of sun descending
     Into my teacup
     Into my heart
The steam of my tea ascending
     To the heavens
     Into God’s heart
The yearning in my heart streaming
     To the heavens
     Into God’s heart
And God, standing in the heavens
     Watching the sun rise in my heart
     Leans down to breathe in
     The first rays of my yearning
     And names it morning prayer.

                          ~Macrina Wiederkehr OSB,
                            Seasons of Your Heart (c).

Often when I sip my morning tea, I pray!

It is my time of quietness before the day has started.

Do you find time to be quiet during these busy times of December?

Savor the early morning hour with tea and a prayer.
