Tea
Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
as if it is the axis
on which the world earth revolves
– slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future;
Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life.—Thich Nhat Hahn
(from: dreaminginthedeepsouth, buffleheadcabin, hypnogoria & superdefstar)
“Haiku is not a shriek, a howl, a sigh, or a yawn; rather, it is the deep breath of life.”
—Santoka Taneda
“The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist”
—Eric Gill
“What I had to do, I did the best I could.”
— Henri Matisse (1869-1954)
