Thich Nhat Hanh tells us,
"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".
How often do we do the opposite and drink it whilst doing something else, already rushing into the day?
Take this as a sign to pause with your next drink, if you can,take it outside and ENJOY the scents, the feeling of the cup in your hand, the flavours.
This is in action. It isn't just about our sitting practice, but how we move through the rest of the day.
