Coffee or tea

After coming back from my books, days have been largely coffee. Yearning for tea now.

Coffee is colorful, rich, full of aroma and character. Gives me the kick even though I have never wants it. Attracts so much lovers that pins the tea down. So much so that it takes courage to put down that cuppa and hold up the tea to see that you are still mindful why I pick up the coffee at the most initial intentions.

Tea is light, bitter, calming and savored usually in solitude. No excitement, no expectation, but the settling of the mind. The mind that jumps around like monkey, ever so hard to tame even in the quietest moment of meditation. Yet, it dangers by dragging you out of the crowd, out of what is considered mainstream.

Both are good, packed with anti-oxidants, ready to detox all the defilement accumulated since ages and lives. The choice really depends on what calms my mind than what works for others, even if others are the majority.
