only in the awareness of the present can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup
only in the present can you savor the aroma taste the sweetness appreciate the delicacy
if you are ruminating about the past or worrying about the future you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea
you will look down at the cup and the tea will be gone
life is like that
if you are not fully present you will look around and it will be gone
you will have missed the feel the aroma the delicacy and beauty of life
it will seem to be speeding past you the past is finished
learn from it and let it go
the future is not even here yet plan for it but do not waste your time worrying about it
