tea-cup in my hands –
morning mist
the snow-topped giant
mount Fuji greets me

Now we see through a glass, darkly
Tea just seems to say “comfort” and “warmth”
Ahhhh!
Bjorn, What a pleasant scene. Drinking tea while observing the mountain. 🙂 — Susan
What an awesome scene you have painted with your words.
I am off to taste that gentle warmth as a brew a cup of green tea….fabulous images
The hot tea in one hand, and snow-capped Mt. Fuji in the other—nice balancing act!

I really enjoy your words and the art work too.
I close my eyes and pretend to be kissed by the mist of the mountain.
Which reminds me that now that my fire place is fixed I ought to take in some wood so I can take the chill out of the air. I try to keep the house at 68 F. Our lower level doesn’t get that much sun.
lovely … just really very lovely.
Very nice. I like this moment.
Awesome tanka Bjorn and a gorgeous painting of Fuji …
How soothing. I like the contrast between the snowy mountain and the hot tea.
