Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
as if it is the axis
on which the world earth revolves
– slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future;
Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life.

I actually use this quote on the back side of my T Ching business card. I love the image it brings up for me and I’m a huge fan of the author.
