THE JOURNEY
He walked until there was no more land…then he took a boat across the seas.
He climbed the highest mountain…where, high above the trees
he found the wise one waiting…sitting with the sun behind her peeking.
He hoped she could provide him with the answers he was seeking.
“Before you ask your questions.” She said. “After your long journey across the sea. Please sit down, relax, and share a cup of tea with me.”
They shared a cup of tea in silence…but she could see his patience wearing thin…
“You have questions?” She observed. He sighed, “Where do I begin?”
With every question he would pose…she’d listen and nod her head silently
then ask what he thought was the answer…as she slowly sipped her tea.
After each question he would answer she’d refill his cup without making a sound…
and he slowly began to realize where his answers could be found.
When it came time for him to go…when his questioning was through
he smiled saying, “I’ve come a long way seeking answers I already knew.”
He thanked her for her guidance…and the best tea he ever tasted….
She smiled saying, “It’s nice to know your journey was not wasted.”
He thinks about her often now…
in his continuing search for peace and harmony
as he journeys to his kitchen…
and pours himself a cup of tea.
