I Wonder What You Are Thinking, But I'm Not Going to Try to Find Out

Twenty months after our last
good-bye, you left a message
on my voicemail account at work
to wish me a happy birthday.

Tea by Invitation

Tea is a lady's drink.

There's a quiet strength inside those leaves.
Tea does not assault the body, like coffee.
Rather, it washes over the system, by invitation,
lending what is desired -- be it flavor, repose or
wakefulness. Tea is a song of celebration,
a song of comfort, a song of centricity.

Tea is a lady's drink.
