You ever notice how the way a tea leaf bends in water can tell you more about the mind than the tea itself? It’s like reading a secret map in a cup.
Indeed, the leaf is the quieter teacher; it tells us whether we’re calm or restless before we even taste the tea. But watch out—if you stare too long, the leaf might start telling you the secret map of your own ego.
Yeah, and that’s the thing—those maps are full of blind spots, so you might just keep chasing your own reflection in the tea.
You’ll chase the reflection until the water itself blurs. The trick is to stop chasing and just let the leaf drift.
