put into words experiences that have no name


Tea before beginning. Powdered, green, bitter, hot and slowly warming. Sip after sip until there is none.

Finding peace and a touch of joy.

Another sip and almost not warm. Done just in time, yet bitterness remains. It will come in.

Full of thought and pain with fleeting regard for the breath and taste which came in. Glimpses of acceptance here and there brought focus on the sensations.
