Everything I know about life I learned from tea boxes.

"What is it about my daily rituals? Why such pleasure in repetition? Well, it occurs to me that I might just be practicing .... being me. Those cherished creaks in the old floorboards. The precise angle of the winter sun cheering my kitchen. Assembling ingredients for a dish I've made hundreds of times. A novel position my cats have adopted, lost in their midday dreams. Each nuance resonates with a kind of timeless wisdom, and I realize that it is these humble putterings - nothing fancier - that have allowed me, finally, to know myself."
