In our lives, there are many Seasons…some good, some not so
good…but, if we are fortunate, these Seasons are surrounded
by family, friends, love…and tea!
Join our journey…through the "Seasons of Tea."
The Tea Ceremony has long cherished affection
and joy towards nature,
respecting each season's
characteristics and senses.
There is no season such delight can bring,
As summer, autumn, winter, and the spring.
William Browne
(c.1591–c.1645)

ON FIELD'S O'ER WHICH THE
REAPER'S HAND HAS PASS'D
On fields o'er which the
reaper's hand has pass'd
Lit by the harvest moon and autumn sun,
My thoughts like stubble floating in the wind
And of such fineness as October airs,
There after harvest could I glean my life
A richer harvest reaping without toil,
And weaving gorgeous fancies at my will
In subtler webs than finest summer haze.
Henry David Thoreau

AUTUMN
EVENING
IN A MOUNTAIN RETREAT
 After
the rain,
the empty mountain
at dusk
is full of autumn air.
A bright moon
shines between the pines;
The clear spring water
glides over the rocks.
Bamboo leaves rustling —
the washer-girls bound home.
Water lilies swaying —
a fisher-boat goes down.
Never mind that
spring plants are no longer green.
I am here to stay
my noble friends!
Poem by Wang Wei,
translated by Edward C. Chang |
