Cup

So many cups in the world — so many shapes, colors, and sizes.

For me, a cup of tea or coffee is a moment to calm down, to have a quiet break, a moment for myself.

It’s like stepping aside from the road of life, along which I was moving just a moment ago.

I have this minute to pause, to leave the never-stopping stream for a moment, to recharge, and then return — refreshed and ready for the next stretch.

I never know what the next turn in my life will bring, but I know that this quiet moment will prepare me for it and carry me until the next one.

We may travel from problem to problem in our lives,
but I choose to move from cup to cup.
