Chanoyu

I find happiness in tea. The gentle rituals of brewing and sipping, the minutia of leaf and temperature and time.

Beyond happiness there is chanoyu, the tea ceremony. It something that has had a presence in my mind for many years, and which I have only recently begun genuinely studying.

So far I have learned that my hands are large and I am uncomfortable with artful action - it pleases me to know these things, to think of chanoyu and to know that in the whole of my lifetime I will always have this deep bowl of learning to drink from.
