The Way of Tea

Arms move like plum blossoms floating from tree.
Water that boils like fish eyes in the metal pot.
The water trickles it's sweet song with the washing of cups.
The fragrance of tea leaves unfolding their precious scent waiting to be discovered.
The three levels of tasting the subtle essence of tea.
The Awakening of awareness in all that took place.
The sharing of the awareness with those you honor and love.
