Savor the Savor

By Living Room Realty, December 6, 2019

Work a day world. Mile a minute. Going, going, gone.

The more time we get under our belts, the quicker it passes. And while capital-T Time and capital-S Space are infinite, lowercase-t time definitely is not.

That’s why it’s crucial we find the space to enjoy the time we are given.

Sometimes that just means slowing down this ever-faster spinning world and savoring the moment. What are the ways to wrest back control over our internal clocks?

Have a tea.

Think of the time involved in each step of the process. Selection of just the right variety for that particular whim. Giving the water the time to heat. Then it must steep. And finally once ready, it’s still too hot to drink all at once. Between each of these steps are moments — opportunities to savor, to reclaim your own sense of time — to unspin the world for a bit.

Take each of these chances and make the most of them if you can. Breathe, sit quietly, send a thought to a loved one, read, meditate, pray, give thanks, dip a toe in the deeper mysteries. Just ignore your phone, your email, your alerts, your news — all that will be there when you get back from your tiny mental respite.

That’s why some things in life are designed to slow you down. It’s good to put speed bumps in our day-to-day drives. The slower we go through some moments in life, the greater we can appreciate all the subtleties and nuances, the scenery of life all around us.

Take your own brief break from the breakneck pace of life at Mo Cha Tea House, and give your Time the time it deserves.
