“Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.” Zen Haiku quotes
The brazier floats on tatami,
kimono and cups neatly appointed,
the smell of sencha wafts and
the steam curls upwards
so does my heart
with each step,
she breathes slowly
moves deliberately
as I wait patiently
for my life to pour out
floating on tatami.

The pace, the image presented, all create an atmosphere of sacred waiting. I need to relearn this skill.
