I am a hot beverage lover. Tea is my choice but a hot chocolate comes in close second. There is something so deliciously wonderful about nestling a hot cup of tea or chocolate and simply enjoying the moment. This poem makes me think of all the little wonderful things that are happening around us quietly, unawares, that we would miss had they not exist.
“It is a kind of love, is it not? How the cup holds the tea,How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare, How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes Or toes. How soles of feet know Where they’re supposed to be. I’ve been thinking about the patience Of ordinary things, how clothes Wait respectfully in closets And soap dries quietly in the dish, And towels drink the wet From the skin of the back. And the lovely repetition of stairs.
And what is more generous than a window?” –Pat Schneider
