Reflection on Ceremony
Now when I see something beautiful I
contemplate it and think about the uniqueness of the moment. I have now learned to appreciate every moment, and how even small things in our lives bring us joy and courage. Life is too precious to waste without stopping to appreciate all its beauty. The tea ceremony was for me a teaching in this manner, not that I did not know it before, but it was taught again in a special way.
