One of my daily rituals is tea ceremony which accompanies my yoga practice. Even while traveling, I carry a thermos full of hot water, my travel tea set with it’s sniffing cup and loose jasmine green tea. On board, this simple luxury has companioned me through many journeys.
With just a little turbulence at the wrong time yesterday, the tea set’s lid fell and broke on the floor under my seatmate’s feet. His good nature took no offense at the interruption as he retrieved the pieces and handed them back to me. I put them back together enough to continue brewing for one last time, grateful for all the comfort its provided through my many trips.
