Tea, trees and contemplation

OK. So I got a "blog" up. While sitting here in a semi-dark room, I am trying to figure out just how I want to approach this technological web of thoughts. I could be witty and spit out cynically coved humor or just let it out as it comes to mind (taking a few sips of tea)...think I shall go with the latter. 

First and for-most, I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Whitt family for the loss of their precious 2 year old daughter that became a victim of cancer. I find it odd that even though I have only known Tuesday through a dear, precious friend (Tuesday is her niece), I have grieved as if the child was of my own family member. Perhaps spiritually speaking, Tuesday is. Perhaps, it also has to do with me being more sensitive since I am a father of two young children. But more than likely, it is because I have been blessed with the opportunity to understand universal compassion, for it is not just Tuesday that I mourn, its for all children, adults.....people that I mourn for, from the causes of suffering. May Tuesday have peace from suffering and freedom from equanimity in her next life. 

Tea. What a weird yet magical drink. I think I drink coffee more than tea, but, wow! Tea does something for the mind. The aroma and the taste seem to put me in a trance of calmness.  Just thought I'd give my 2 cents on that. 

Trees. Long story about my love affair about trees. Perhaps another time I will jot that down somewhere in another blog. 

Contemplation. That is basically what i am doing as I create this. Should anyone be reading this at all, please forgive my mental regurgitation of thoughts. I am new at this and tring to find direction as to what I want to do with this thing.

Peace be with you.
