The following
excerpts are from the upcoming "Meditations with Tea: Paths
to Inner Peace" by Diana Rosen
How did you
awaken this morning? Did you bound out of bed, dash into the shower,
grab a quick bite to eat, then head out the door? How will you retire
tonight? Will you scribble out a to-do list, call the office, kiss
the family members good-night, then plop into bed without ever stopping
during the day to rest and reflect, even for ten minutes? Do you
ever even remember falling asleep?
Probably nobody
lives that frantically every day, yet as the world seems to speed
up, so do we. Food can cook in minutes, sometimes even seconds.
Travel to places it once took months to reach now can be done during
a day or two. Instead of waiting a week for a letter or a newspaper
to report an event, the news --with photographs-- arrives almost
immediately. For many of us, the telephone has been supplanted by
email, enabling communication around the world or around town, without
regard to time, availability of the receiver- or higher rates. Work,
play, even thinking, is now done at heightened speeds, and there
is so much to learn, to accomplish, to give, to relish. Today is
a very exciting time to be alive... and yet...
Growing numbers
of people, like you, are wondering if you could awaken slowly, with
the sun; take time to prepare for the day; eat breakfast leisurely
with family; and perform your daily tasks with purpose and less
urgency. Then, at day's end, you could go to bed fulfilled, less
worried, content, and certainly more aware of what the day was really
like.
