Drinking Tea

It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor

Tea is a beverage enjoyed by all.

Savour the taste and sip away

You may like herbal or prefer Earl Grey.

In a cup and saucer or mug if you like

Fill your thermos and go for a hike.

One cup of tea from the minute you rise 

Will have you happy, alert and wise.

Julie Annette

Drink your tea slowly and reverently,

as if it is the axis on which the world

Earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without

rushing toward the future.

Live the actual moment.

Only this moment is life.

Thich Nhat Hanh
