Soothing Ceremony

painting by Mary Cassatt

Whenever I feel unsure of what to do, I put the kettle on and have a cup of tea. It's a small kindness to myself, a comforting ritual that allows me to regain my composure. As I focus my attention on brewing and sipping the warm liquid, my thoughts settle and my mind becomes spacious and clear.
