“Yes, the world may aspire to vacuousness, lost souls mourn beauty, insignificance surrounds us. Then let us drink a cup of tea. Silence descends, one hears the wind outside, autumn leaves rustle and take flight, the cat sleeps in a warm pool of light. And, with each swallow, time is sublimed.” ― Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
Oh, how comforting it is to brew a pot of tea when the temperature falls! I enjoy discovering metaphoric beauty–infused with little process theology–in ordinary things, like a single cup of tea. I hope you enjoy my latest process musing at Spirituality & Practice: “Let Us Drink a Cup of Tea.”
Your words temp this avid coffee drinker towards a cup of tea.
Coffee is cool, too, dear friend–or I should say warm! 🙂
