Tea Delivery

I've just come away from a meeting with a selection of teas to try, I won't be in my luxurious arm chair wearing the world's best slippers but the universe nods in my direction regularly enough for me to recalibrate with this world and my space within in. I wish my worth didn't teeter on the tumbling stones of my further enquiries and requirement for actions and words to align and my need to throw out all lip service that nice people offer so widely. At face value and by fairly regular reminder a varying assortment of people I respect verify my existence as meaningful, place me in their top tens and I ever so briefly saunter comfortable in that knowledge that I'm ok. Maybe I'm exactly who I'm meant to be, the balancer on the tight rope, who doesn't tumble but quietly gathers myself to take the next step forward when I'm unsteady. I don't really need a cheering crowd and I've done it for so long, I can ascertain, in reality, I don't need a safety net. I need something though, I'm just not sure what it is. I should stop just manifesting tea and engage in this dance of thoughts and experience, step into the magical... What was actually in that tea?

One drink of tea and the world maybe take you in another direction. Is it only when we have a cup in our hands, our thoughts drift away to another time and place. Mind you, coffee does it for me, makes me feel human.

I'd better continue to mostly avoid coffee then, I don't want to go feeling human :) (thanks for stopping by)

This seems much deeper than about tea, but speaking of tea, I really love all sorts of them. I especially like exotic or strange ones, such as licorice. You are one of the poets here with an excellent command of English, as you show here with your writing prowess.

Thank you Andrea, my grammar and punctuation let me down as I was in a school year where it was trialled to relax it to see if it stifled creativity. Perhaps it does! It's tricky to pick up later, that's for sure :)

A delightful tea party tis, i'm joining in. As i sip my mint tea majesty--my tea of choice in a sachet, along with some lovely conversation you've provided, penetrating observations you serve up. Cheers to teetotalers "The lips that taste wine, shall never taste mine" --saw that somewhere. lol.

Thanks Anaya, I've got ahead of the game now and ordered some fancy tea and a single cup brewer for my birthday. Picked out the slippers and I did peruse chairs last night but not sure where I'd put it. It was weird so quickly after talking about teas I went to a physical meeting (most online now) and was offered tea from a library of choices (I chose peppermint and ginger because I have plant based milk and didn't want to be too awkward) but was looking at the shelf when they returned so they decanted me a small box full - cheers! :)
