Pause

Posted on | January 29, 2006 | 11 Comments

The days slip by, a blur of busy moments. Sometimes before I really feel like day is here, night returns. I catch myself going too fast. I try to pause. I make tea and savor the whole cup: chai sweetened with raw sugar and milk.

    All my days and nights are blurring by like that right now. Where IS the pause button??

    That usually takes the form of…”oh no! where did the day go?” for me. I love the tea-tones you used to create this painting. I also want to comment on the strong image below and your observations about the new group dynamics. So true! It will be interesting to revisit your first impressions after a while… I’m sure you will learn all kinds of things about one another, and perhaps you will have even made a new good friend. Good luck with your training:> So much forward movement in your life this year…

    What a beautiful painting. Tea is my favorite and I love the words with the image.

    I just finished reading an essay I loved on Indigo Leaf and then I got to the end and found it was yours! Wonderful.

    I like the transparency of the cup and the journaling added. There’s so much depth to this.
