TEA TALK:  A reading of summer poems and brief discussion of season words (kigo).

 

Intro Quote:

“… let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboo, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”
— Kakuzo Okakura, 1906, The Book of Tea

Intro haiku:

The first hot night:
chilling the tea
slicing the lemons.
— Anita Virgil
