Trials & Tea Ceremonies by Bashō  Matsuo
“Whenever the grey confinement of the man-made world presses in, I'll summon the memory of countless sunsets bleeding across vast skies – over oceans, deserts, mountains, jungles, cities – and remember the astonishing, shared beauty of this planet, the solace found in nature's indifferent majesty. I’ll recall the taste of strange fruits, the texture of yak butter tea, the comforting presence of kangaroos in the morning mist, the scent of jungle rain – anchors back to the real.”
