The Way of the Tea

The way of the tea

Is more than just a drink,

It’s a ritual of mindfulness,

A way to help us think.

A simple act of boiling water

And steeping leaves with care

Becomes a meditation,

That lifts us from our despair.

The aroma of the tea itself

A gift for our senses to behold,

The taste, a sensation of calm

That soothes the heart and soul.

The way of the tea is grace,

In the making, in the sharing

A quiet reverence for life itself

A practice worth preparing.

So, let us sit and sip in peace,

In the way of the tea, we find

A tranquil moment, a pure repose

A gift to nourish the mind.
