I drank the first pot of my new tea yesterday, and started this morning with a fresh cup. A thoroughly enjoyable tea. Bernard-Paul Heroux was right to say "There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea."
For me, it isn't so much the drinking of the tea so much as the brewing ritual. Calming. Relaxing. Centering. A slowing of time. It helps me put everything into its proper perspective.
And I really need proper perspective these days. Bills to pay and no job. Groceries to buy and no job.
At least I've got a couple of month's worth of tea laid in...
Feeling better today, but still anxious.
