“Drink your tea slowly”, my loves – is a lesson once shared by the venerable Thich Nhat Hanh; a reminder to serve each moment with grace.

Though all too often we find ourselves rushing forward; far too eager to take on these fabrications of mind.

We become lost in the tumultuous waters of emotion, failing to catch our beauty in the stillness reflected ‘below’.

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently,” he writes. “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.”

Indeed, my darlings – there is no greater truth. Because, in the end…

“only this moment is life.”

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️
