TEA CHI/CHADO TEA
Detail
A special review offering for ‘Tea Chi/Chado Tea’ written by Tea Sage James Norwood Pratt:
Nazim’s Slack Shape Waves Like the Sea
Taking Tea Far Far Out
1)
Rhythmic ripples of white connecting up and down,
Flowing over fantastical fields of color
Filled with imaginary forms of leaf,
bowl, pot and figure flexing,
delicately doing a tea dance around a dreamed-up
Tea pot infusing infinity QI within
and balancing the out front character of CHA
Like a blind-folded man wearing white
Pouring tea in slow motion technicolor.
2)
Tea cups, bowls and green leaf strewn
Red table cloth like a flying carpet
Waiting to take us away
To smell the flowers before our eyes
Alight on the lady bug and see
How light-heartedly tea
Sets the mind free
to go outside
The tea dojo Chado
To play
