OUR WHOLE LIFE COULD BE A RITUAL
We
could learn to stop when the sun goes down and when the sun comes up.
We could learn to listen to the wind; we could learn to notice that it’s
raining or snowing or hailing or calm. We could reconnect with the
weather that is ourselves, and we could realize that it’s sad. The
sadder it is, and the vaster it is, the more our heart opens. We can
stop thinking that good practice is when it’s smooth and calm, and bad
practice is when it’s rough and dark. If we can hold it all in our
hearts, then we can make a proper cup of tea.
