Here's what I wrote:<br /><br />In my hand I hold a bowl of tea. I see the rich earthen brown of the tea mug and inhale the rich nutlike fragrance of the tea. Closing my eyes, I find I feel, rather than see, the steam rising from the mug. Silently sitting alone and drinking tea, I feel at peace, free of anxiety. I've quieted my surroundings. I've quieted me.Angela McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928913868086900802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-63150325581074710522011-11-10T16:47:35.796-08:002011-11-10T16:47:35.796-08:00Marlena - that is beautiful!Marlena - that is beautiful!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-30939144655551449052011-11-10T05:49:27.731-08:002011-11-10T05:49:27.731-08:00When I look into a bowl of tea I see green fields ...When I look into a bowl of tea I see green fields of tea, high mountains, mist and sunshine. The air swirls around me, I am united with teapickers, with tea drinkers. Far horizons come near.<br /><br />Tea with friends is point and counterpoint to life lived well. One friend is all friends who drink tea with me, we are all held together in one moment, it is also every moment. The far away becomes close by. Hearts open to other hearts.Marlenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01075020988377774265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-71802635321188826432011-11-09T20:21:34.017-08:002011-11-09T20:21:34.017-08:00Angela - I won't tell if you write while drink...Angela - I won't tell if you write while drinking milk. ;-)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-7843042165073338602011-11-09T18:27:41.438-08:002011-11-09T18:27:41.438-08:00OK, I happen to be reading this while sitting here...OK, I happen to be reading this while sitting here drinking some milk (I almost never drink milk), but I am coming back later because I don't want to miss out this week!Angela McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928913868086900802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-58617874150823954522011-11-09T17:55:17.073-08:002011-11-09T17:55:17.073-08:00You're right, Marilyn!

So now I will be also pondering this weeks writing adventure. Just off the top of my head when I think of sharing tea with a friend it is so different than other shared adventures, as tea encourages us to slow down and share a time of quietness and softer voices.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-48807295223385086242011-11-09T06:17:21.292-08:002011-11-09T06:17:21.292-08:00Oh!

On the surface, this weeks writing prompt appears easy, but looking deeper into the tea, there is another level of consciousness brewing! Will have to ponder this!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.com
