Tea Boxes


Don't you just love randomness? My dad sent me flowers this week. Now, I am not a flowery type of girl, but seeing as my dad was in Bangladesh when he had them sent to me...Well, you know. He sent me the ones on the left...Jacqueline's are on the right, and I rather appreciated the contrast between my glass vase and her plastic water bottle. It works for us.

Speaking of randomness...
Sometimes I see truth in the weirdest places. This morning I saw something on the back of a box of tea, and it made me think. Check it out:


"When is a man educated? When he can look out upon the universe, now lucid and lovely, now dark and terrible, with a sense of his own littleness in the great scheme of things, and yet have faith and courage...When he can be happy alone and high-minded amid the drudgeries of life. When he can look into a wayside puddle and see something besides mud, and into the face of the most forlorn mortal and see something divine. When he knows how to live, how to love, how to hope, how to pray - is glad to live...and has in his heart a bit of a song." - Joseph Fort Newton
