A Proper Cup of Tea and The Husk of Time
If you can hold the pain of the world in your heart but never forget the vastness of the great Eastern sun, then you can make a proper cup of tea.

The “sacred” is not something primarily religious or even spiritual. It is not a quality we need to learn or to develop. It belongs to the primary nature of all that is. When our ancestors knew that everything they could see was sacred, this was not something taught but instinctively known.
~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

Exuberant is existence, time a husk.
When the moment cracks open, ecstasy leaps out and devours space; love goes mad with the blessings, like my words give.
Why lay yourself on the torturer’s rack of the past and future?
The mind that tries to shape tomorrow beyond its capacities
will find no rest.
Be kind to yourself, dear — to our innocent follies.
Forget any sounds or touch you knew that did not help you dance.
You will come to see that all evolves us!
