Lastly, tea--unless one is drinking it in the russian style--should be drunk without sugar. i know very well that i am in a minority here. but still, how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? it would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. if you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.
Drinking Beer Drunk
Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea. when you hold your cup, you may like to breathe in, to bring your mind back to your body, and you become fully present. and when you are truly there, something else is also there - life, represented by the cup of tea. in that moment you are real, and the cup of tea is real. you are not lost in the past, in the future, in your projects, in your worries. you are free from all of these afflictions. and in that state of being free, you enjoy your tea. that is the moment of happiness, and of peace.
Real Drinking Past
It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.
Love Beautiful Baby
The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.
Art Years Fifty
People look at things differently. imagine going to a village in southern sudan and try to explain to someone there the concept of life insurance or retirement. go to vietnam and say retirement. retirement in another country is your body is too racked with pain and your hands are too arthritic from the life in the rice patty fields, so you can't work anymore. so you move in with your son and his new wife takes care of you because that's how families work there.
Country Retirement Pain
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
