Drink Your Tea
“No matter what position we hold in society or how much money we have, real freedom only comes when we are able to release our suffering and come home.” —Thich Nhat Hahn
While Zen Buddhism doesn’t have traditional commandments, the phrase “Drink your tea” could be considered as such. When done mindfully, it’s a self-directed Zen command that brings you back to your true home. If “there is only the tea” and we dismiss all thoughts, we will be home. 🫖

Welcome to the #estagram series, a blog-based grid collection that conveys what I’m learning in my daily mindfulness practice.
Creating mantras I can repeat to myself helps me stay grounded in challenging moments, and it reminds me how worthy I already am. Macro photography is an art that reminds me to make moments for stillness and tranquility. Weaving together these mantras and macro moments into a special blog feed is an essential element of my mindfulness practice that deserves to be preserved.
