The immeasurable goodness of a cuppa

"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me."
~C. S. Lewis

Ah, the powers of tea. Have you ever been at a roadblock in life? Or maybe you've had writers block. Oh, that dreadful bogging of the mind when your words simply refuse to relay your meaning. Frustration sets in and sometimes one gives up altogether. But add a cup of tea to the situation and something completely different happens. . .


I just sat there, pen poised for the attack, just waiting for final instructions from the commander in chief before I struck. But no directions, or direction, was coming. My brows sunk under the weight of frustration and my pen involuntarily made it's way to my mouth. Thus caught up in my thoughts, it was with a certain amount of surprise (if fact, I may have even jumped slightly) when a young lady came up with the pot of tea I had asked for. After thanking her, I absentmindedly sipped it and allowed the warmth to wash down my spine and out to my very fingertips. And then I had it. The perfect beginning.

Tea brings out the best in us, for really, who can argue or complain while sipping a comforting cup of the rejuvinating liquid.

Respectfully submited,
