As I sipped my morning cup of tea, in the serene, autumn/winter is coming weather, with my mind far, far away, I was jarred to the present moment, when I tasted a tea leaf.
The immediate action was to remove it, but it also made me think, philosophically. Yes, the ambience helped!! 😊
That same tea leaf, which 10 minutes ago was the most important factor of my tea making process, without which I would not have had my steaming cup, that tea leaf which gives the beautiful color and taste to the cup which has become staple for my mornings, that tea leaf which stimulates me for my day to come, that tea leaf which fetches hefty sums basis where it has been plucked from, is now being rejected and ejected?!
How easy it is for all of us to become a tea leaf? Sadly, very much.
After we have served our purpose, if we do not #reinvent, #upskill, #reenergize, #definethenextpurpose, #takeupthenextchallenge, we will all become a tea leaf!
(Oh, by the way, I have found a purpose for the tea leaf, to turn it and its siblings into a compost for my balcony garden!)

Short but nice (perhaps in today’s lingo I should write cute) post. It often happens to us an innocuous incident takes all together different dimension when seen from another perspective.
