Poem on the poster:
Tea and the Quiet Arts of Being
The cup is small,
but it holds stillness,
the stillness of worlds within.
Just above steam curls like prayer,
and the world pauses.
No temple bell, no sermon—
only the water, a leaf, and quiet.
Bitter, the leaf steeped in warmth
friendship is renewed.
Medicine becomes poetry,
poetry becomes peace.
Sitting in silence,
friends share worlds within.
The cup, passed between hands
The distant sound of rain
as it creates clay.
A flower leans toward its shadow,
tea whispers about timelessness.
Through centuries of ambition,
men built empires
of porcelain and sorrow.
But within the cup’s clay,
Something different
Something timeless.
Two hands, warmth
The cracked cup, imperfect beauty
In it we find our own imperfect beauty
In imperfect beauty
we rest, at peace.
Water flows—
simple, transparent, complete—
So the harmony of tea:
to love the passing moment
shared with friends.
Tea binds heaven to earth,
and to the quiet arts of being.
