May you find all the calm joy, Quietude, presence, clarity and Completition inherent in tea.
May a thousand other virtues line the shelves of your tearoom.
May they be a part of your journey every turn of every road; And spread, cup by cup, to those whose path you cross along the way.

❤️🍵😀

Drank with longing for times before,
when the clouds below were the silvery veil,
separating myself from the world of men.

I remember my life then,
so clean and pure,
and the visitor I had from the capital.

He asked me about the Earth,
so I served him tea.

He asked me of the sky,
and I poured another cup.

Then when he asked me of the Spirit,
I could only give him more tea.

After that,
he was quiet for some time.

[from 'the way of tea' ]
