Noriko Morishita - The Wisdom of Tea
It doesn't matter that I'm not considerate by nature. It's okay for me to be more experienced, but still undependable. I won't compare myself to anyone else. All I need is to keep going along the Way of Tea at my own pace.
When it's raining, listen to the rain. When it's snowing, look at the snow. Savor the heat in summer and the biting cold in winter. Relish each day to its fullest, whatever that day might bring.
When it rains, we call the weather bad. But, really, there is no such thing as bad weather. If you can appreciate even the rain, every day becomes a good day.
"I know we repeat the same events year in, year out, but I've come to appreciate something recently: happiness is being able to do the same thing every year."
