Digital collage: five variations.

tea from leaf

finest loose-leaf tea

holds flavors of place and time

within its buds,

like next season’s fruits

asleep in flowers

as yet unopened

in winter’s chill.

draw forth their

somewheres and their

sometimes

in the infusion of hot water

and skillfully dried leaves

that is the tea we share.

we are carried to the

edge of a realm

as cold and temperamental as

Shiva,

to the foothills of the Himalayas

and the tea estates of

Darjeeling.

fragrant steam and

delicate flavor

wreath our heart-thoughts,

bond porcelain moods,

revive fugitive memories,

and transform longing to

gratitude,

as you wait, and I

watch,

sharing tea.

Always incredible to witness something like this. Shoutout to everyone that pulled an all nighter to see this. Captured just outside of Wichita, Kansas.

I don’t know what community the owners of Tumblr think they’re protecting, but mine does not exclude erotica (AKA « adult content »). This change is yet more evidence that the owners of this and other platforms are in fact publishers and should be held to account for their content. (I’m looking at you, Facebook.)

Ten thousand miles

Between us

Threads of photons

Connect us

Streams of heart words

Inspire us

Unsought blessings

Enmesh us.

My Australian Muse and I are reading the words of you and sealanehill to each other. She stops and says, "Oh Adam, I think they're like us". I don't really have anything to ask, but I think it's worth saying.

aww <3 thank you for that.

Well, I am learning a lot from @sealanehill and it’s a friendship I enjoy.There is much musing involved, sure :P
