"Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love."
~Rumi, 1207-1273
I could have cleaned the office, folded the laundry or washed the dishes. Instead, I made tea. A far-away but near-in-heart friend had sent some Fenghuang Shuixian. I wanted time to taste this tea, sit alone with it and write a long letter to this friend.
Delicious tea made exquisite by the moment.
Though I drank alone, I poured two cups: One for me and one for my friend. I love that tea can connect us at the heart level when we open to it.

Beautiful, Stephanie!
How dear to share this connection with your friend.
I was just sent some tea by a friend, I must remember to pour her a cup.
Being able to walk chá dào side by side with you is one of the great joys of my life.
A really great post, the pictures, the Rumi, your writing...
