Meet Ribbit, my newest tea pet
Ribbit was given to me by a sweet and generous tea friend. He's a tiny little guy - the scale is misleading in this photo because the teacup is also tiny. He's the size of a pebble and he's adorable! Small but mighty, he is. Ribbit and I have been doing some thinking and talking together. We've discussed this poem:
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of toast and tea.
~ T.S. Eliot
It's amazing to me how the poems I need find their ways to me at the right time. I've needed this poem.
Aforementioned friend and a few other precious ones are helping me with a special tea project which has been brewing in my head and heart for 9 months. Interesting timing. :-) I've been making a hundred indecisions and a hundred visions and revisions.
I've learned about giving space to those hundred indecisions and revisions. I'm normally a tackle and resolve sort of person when it comes to getting a project done. This project is demanding its own time table and my patience. It's requiring me to soul search and that was unexpected, but in the end rewarding. I'm learning a lot, yes I am.

Oh I love Ribbit! What a thoughtful friend.
Good luck with decisions being contemplated. Yes, that poem is just perfect for you right now. I hope you find the peace you need.
Aww Ribbit! He looks like he could be my frog, Roger's long lost cousin!
Sometimes I think we have to be ready to *receive* certain wisdom, so maybe that's the reason for the timing? At any rate, all good wishes for your new tea project!
