🍵 THE BOOK OF TEA SERIES 🍵 I'm sick today, so instead of a long caption...just enjoy this gorgeous pin that was a pre-order incentive for the second in The Book of Tea series by @judyilinauthor! Isn't it gorgeous? 😍 (Swipe to see a close-up) So, yeah, my kiddo and I have been sick since Friday, fighting some kind of rhinovirus (we've both tested negative for C-19 twice, so there's that at least). So I've been down for the count! I actually feel my worst today, and he's stayed home from school again for the second day. But hopefully today will be the worst, and then we'll be on the upswing! Q: Since that means we did absolutely nothing this weekend, tell me how *your* weekend was! Or, if you've read this series, what did you think? 🍵 🍵 🍵 #thebookoftea #thebookofteaduology #judyilin #judyilinauthor #amagicsteepedinpoison #avenomdarkandsweet #yaliteraturejunkie #yaliterature #yalit #yalovin #yalove #yabookstagrammer #yabooks #yabookseries #yabookstagram #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbooks #readdiversebooks #readdiversely #readdiverse #bookstagrammers #Bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booknerd #booknerds #booklovers #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CispFE2Lwh3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the things that calms me the most is watching this tea ceremonies. I have always felt a respect for the honor to daily things, daily details, daily tasks, that eastern cultures show. Specially for a person  like me, for whom sometimes doing little things can be the beginning of an internal conflict of wether I am being smart enough while doing them, practical, ordered, if everything in my logic of doing things is clear to my and to others, If they approve it or if i am being complacient enough to others (and if it is a good idea being so), If it is useful for the world’s welfare and society, If it is productive effort, etc. Yes, it’s that bad I’m afraid, you might know that horrible monologue yourself. Honestly, to see that someone, in some place of the world, takes this much attention to something like brewing tea, makes me feel the world is not that oppresing. It makes me feel that it’s ok not being in a hurry all the time, and that art and method can be in everything we do. And also is facinating to take conciense, to really note that there are so much details in many of the things we do, that there are so much micro tasks involved even in the simple acts. Those are the forgoten and given for granted marvels of the human brain that Minsky mentions in his book “The society of the mind”. Those that we as adults tend to underestimate, but that once as children took us so much effort to master, and that those who work with robots know they can be a real miracle to achieve when you are trying to program something to do them. And there can be beauty in each step if you look carefully. One day, when this quarantine is over, I would love to do things like this. For now, I started reading The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura.

So Xmas highlighted one of the dichotomies that defines me - an internal tension, you could say. Or you could say that Xmas highlighted my hypocrisy. That would probably be more accurate. What I'm talking about is my constant railing against commercialism and waste, particularly in the lead-up to Xmas, contrasted with the gleeful grabbing pleasure I get from the acquisition of stuff. If I tried, I could probably justify myself in some way. But instead, I'm just gonna say, "Look at all this awesome stuff I got for Christmas!" I hope you all got awesome stuff too (one of my cousins got a baby, which was a pretty good trick). #herodotus #terrypratchett #thetravelsofsirjohnmandeville #johnmandeville #neilmacgregor #kakuzookakura #thebookoftea #punkrockjesus #seanmurphy #tankgirl #primalscream #buzzcocks #blacksabbath #masterofreality #thespecials #metallica #masterofpuppets #smashingpumpkins #siamesedream #comics #vinylscores https://www.instagram.com/p/B6sW3GqH6cZ/?igshid=1pbmgl7ddqp61
