now •

all that is •

is that all •

now •

water boiling •

the shoji door slides open •

a centuries old ceremony •

whisking a bowl of green tea •

for a friend •

tea house •

dwarfed by tall pines •

whistling the same song •

hot water kettle •

for tea •

that purple magnolia /
opens its blousey blooms /
with intention //

moss in bloom

spring is dangerous /
we can believe /
in anything //

Tea
