Just got a beautiful card in the mail. A quote from Joan Sutherland, a Zen Teacher in New Mexico.
Here is what it said:
"Let's have tea. Let's have galaxies, let's have earthworms, let's have sorrow and tenderness, and let us pour and receive the bottomless mercy that life has for us in our foolishness, our failures, and our most secret longings. In return, let us forgive the world for being the world, let us allow all things to be forgiven, to be blessed, just for a moment, just for the duration of a cup of tea."
