A cup of tea...
“Please have a cup of tea,” I wish I could invite you at the moment.
You know, when chatting over a cup of tea with friends, I often try to collect in mind all words, expressions in eyes and smiles of friends as though the meeting would never return after saying goodbye. On the ceremony, I love the words “a meeting in a lifetime”, which seemly means that one should feel grateful for every time with friends to drink tea together. Because it might allow no what-ifs, and there would be no going back to the beginnings.
As you can see, how rare, how grave and how nice the only meeting is to us! Many people often think that life always changes quickly and suddenly, so everyone is pursuing happiness and joyfulness. What is joyfulness? One aspect is to meet our bosom friends again. Judging from this, how many roads must we run and toil down with hardships and frustrations before the meeting calls us together? Yet, the meeting that touches our hearts may become the story of our lives; the smile that warms our hearts may become the flowers of our pleasure and joy; the silence that inspires our hearts may become the accomplishment of all our words significant or vaguely conscious. Ah, here is just a cup of tea and please enjoy it carefully because it has drawn the essence of tea trees and is created by the sun and the earth.
To be honest, we are fortune’s favorite of the brave new world, which gave us a meeting lasting for such a long time and made us know each other well. Probably this is a catch in a lifetime, isn’t it?
