A SIMPLE SERVICE OF QUIETUDE

For many, tea as an individual practice of mindfully creating space each day offers opportunity of slowing down, arriving in stillness and allowing clarity to settle in the calm waters of our mind in quietude. 

 

In our appreciation for refinement and creating space internally, we can easily forget the fact that others, even many people we know personally have never had a chance to create this simple principle of space for moments in between through the art of tea.

Offering a gesture; brewing a few bowls for reflection to see a Cloud-Hidden in each bowl for friends, family or even strangers to rest into, can be a moment that forever echoes into their future, remembering whispers of silence that lay beneath the ruffled noise of day to day life that is all too easy to be caught up in.   

 

Boil the kettle.

Steep the tea.

Serve with reverence.

Repeat.
