A Cup of Tea?
So what shall it be?
A cup of tea to wake you up
or a cup of tea to help you sleep?
There’s a fine question to start the day—or end it.
To sharpen the mind,
stir the thoughts,
and set the wheels turning?
Or to quiet the thoughts,
ease the weight,
and drift gently into the great unfolding?
Perhaps the answer is simply a cup of tea.
Just sit, breathe, and drink the tea
In this fleeting moment,
before it cools, before it passes—this is all there is.
Be present in the present.
Whether to wake or to rest,
to seek or to release,
to move forward or to sit still
the tea is here, waiting.
Which you choose
is about timing and context,
of wisdom through practice
through trial and error, through living.
Wisdom isn’t just knowing—it’s knowing when.
When to speak and when to stay silent.
When to act and when to wait.
When to wake up and
when to let the dream continue.
The right action at the right time.
