Dear Duniyawaalo (People of the World),
Today on this beautiful and warm spring morning in Chicago as I am sitting down for my cup of coffee, I am grateful that I get to experience this simple yet profound pleasure in life that helps set a positive tone for the day.
Whether I am sipping on a hot cup of spiced Chai or any of the other flavored tea, the aroma from the tea soothes me, lifts my spirits, and calms my mind. It makes me feel more centered and focused, and has become a source of comfort and solace for me, providing me a break from the daily whirlwind of life.
What I cherish most is the sense of connection and community it creates when I am sharing a cup of tea with my friends and loved ones. In these moments time seems to slow down, allowing for the space to truly listen, share, and connect on a deeper level.
Some of my fondest memories and conversations have happened over a cup of tea as we catch up on each other’s lives, share stories and simply enjoy each other's company. In those moments time seems to slow down, allowing for the space to truly listen, share and connect at a deeper level. I cannot express it in words even if I try, it can only be felt in the moment.
The immense power and beauty of tea is realized not only in its taste and aroma, but also in the ritual of preparing it. The whole process of selecting the perfect blend, boiling the water and adding my spices of choice, reminds me to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
Pouring tea into my favorite cup every morning serves as a reminder of how important it is for me to carve out little moments from my busy life for self-care and reflection.
