Tea

there is something profoundly cinematic and quietly devastating about a cup of tea. water poured over dried leaves; green needles and tender buds waking up in hot water, shedding their stiff, dried shapes to release everything they've been holding onto. tea gives me chills because it is intimate. it demands presence. wrapped around a warm cup, breathing in steam that smells of wet stone, crushed grass, or distant smoke, the noise of the world gets muted. it’s an anchor for the solitary mind—a warm, steady pulse in the hands when everything else feels a little too fast, a little too loud.
