After a hectic morning trying to get all my documents settled and many other things...

I was staring across the man-cave. I noticed a stack of dishes and realized that it was my first Chinese Tea set. One that I swore when I was a young teen that I would use as an adult. I have spent my life in pursuit of the martial arts. But also in the pursuit of knowledge of the culture and the philosophy that the arts managed to evolve from.

Hence my interest in the Chinese Medicine and Taoism. I am looking at these dusty dishes remembering that young boy who saw a whole culture in a set of dishes, dreaming of far off lands and martial traditions.

I am blowing off the dust of a long forgotten dream and hoping for better tomorrow... or at least some warm tea. :)
