Culture

Tea parties.
A culture consisting not of fast food, but of lazily allowing time to pass by, in an almost zen state of feeling.
A culture we are beginning to earnestly live.
A culture of conversation and slow, lazy afternoons with loved ones.
A culture of enjoying the moment, a mug or cup of hot tea snuggled into one's hands.
A culture of slowly savoring the fragrance, the warmth, and the taste.
A culture that brings beams of sunlight, geraniums, and small, simple sandwiches to mind.
A culture that I am learning to appreciate, as my family begins to bring it into our daily lives.
