I love the association of steeping tea leaves with the questions, thoughts we ourselves “steep” inside! And the pause, outward silence while so much us inside the pot, unseen…
musing while our tea steeps–such a mirror image of what goes on inside–lots of questions, always the ones I can't answer easily.
Wonderful haiku, Valerie

Thank you, Kath. I tend to be a "slow processor," so I need that pause for my thoughts to "steep." You said it well.

within this clear
leaves blend our tea
ideas steep
__Questions we search, Valorie…. hoping our "steep" will answer. Too, Kath, our inner.. "steep " may be our gift of life. _m

Thank you so much, Mary Jo. I've learned over the years to sometimes not ask until I've reflected a bit.
