This love letter to tea speaks of grief and the power of a sacred ritual.
Opening words:
Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt you already knew them? There is something eerily and wonderfully familiar about them, but you cannot put a finger on it. It is both a solid and elusive knowing of connection. You sense a strong bond was forged over lifetimes between the two of you. I have been blessed with this experience several times in my life; one such kindred soul was my herbal medicine maker teacher Tony. Allow me to introduce you to this eternal friend, one of the gentlest souls I have encountered in this realm.
