Tea Ritual for One

There’s a moment right before the kettle screams when everything gets quiet. Not the world. The world doesn’t care about your tea. But something inside you shifts, if you let it. Your hands reach for the cup. Your breath changes.

That’s where the magic lives. Not in some elaborate ceremony you saw on a wellness influencer’s feed. Not in the $90 matcha set collecting dust on your counter. In the pause. In the choosing to be here, doing this one thing, instead of fourteen things at once.
