Want Some Tea?

"The first cup moistens my lips and throat.
The second shatters my loneliness.
The third causes the wrongs of life to fade gently from my recollection.
The fourth purifies my soul.
The fifth lifts me to the realms of the unwinking gods."
-Chinese mystic Tang Dynasty

A little cup of friendship
With a bag of tea
When you drink this
Think of love from me.

    You have reminded me of the tea plantations back home...I love driving through them, when we go to my grandparents in upper Assam...
