Dappled woodland path

Sunlight by invitation

Effortlessly cool.

ADAM AND EVE'S FIRST CUP OF TEA

The 'lost' passage in the Bible that explains the invention of tea.

Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden

Kicked out by God because of their thieving

Sinful and naked they sought some relief

They covered their shame with the humble tea leaf. 🍃☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Noble warming. ☕

NEXT YEAR

The bedroom fan whirrs a weak apology for barely keeping me cool overnight. It gathers dust most of the year in a dark corner. 

I tell my wife, "Next year we'll definitely get an air conditioner."

It's always next year. 

Like that book you never write.

It's just fan fiction.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

This is why the words 'lip' and 'smacking' were first placed together. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I'm pondering away like a good 'un - 

Just how many trees does it take to form a wood? 

Which Blue Peter pet lived the longest?

Why is chocolate so bad for you if its seeds come from a fruit? 

Pondering - one of the great things you can do with a brew. ☕🤔

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The only promise that can never be broken. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Hail to the leaf! 🫡☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Welcome to the Town of Ponder, twinned with Wonder: Population 1. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The original influencer. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I wake from sailing

a sea of dreams

I spy land in this cup

(or so it seems)

I'll wander its shores

I'm not in a hurry

I'll amble a while

free from all worry. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Oiling The Great Pondering Machine and wondering where it will take me today. 🤔☕

INVISIBLE DANCE PARTNERS

This drizzle is having a crisis of confidence. It hangs nervously in the air, wishing it was light enough to be mist. Gusts make small puddles shudder as if a tiny giant is walking the Earth, and the big trees sway as if they have a very tall yet invisible dance partner.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Sunning the soul. ☕

SUNDAY THOUGHTS

If Now becomes Then

And Then becomes Now

How is Time constant

Yet we're not, somehow?

If Time's an illusion

With no clock to tick

Just who's the magician

And what is the trick?

FIRST CUP OF TEA

First ponder of the day - does the first cup of tea ever post about us? 🤔☕
