"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead 

and the bridge is love

the only survival the only meaning."

~Thornton Wilder

I found the Thornton Wilder quote first and was having a hard time picking a

photograph to pair it with.

Then I found the Pooh quote on Pinterest and knew this was what I was going to use.

I've always thought Pooh and the Pooh Crew where very good philosophers. 

Love does not cease with the event of death.

I still Love Mr. Dragon

and

He still Loves me. 

Wishing YOU well.

More Tea Bliss

I have one more teacup to share with you that I found at

The Guild Shop. 

It is a Paragon cup.

My favorite color is green so you can guess that I love this cup.

I have some more quotes for you from TEA BLISS by Theresa Cheung.

"One should drink tea while appreciating the fragrance of the flowers, the brightness of the moon, the beauty of music. After drinking tea one will  no longer be in a daze but feel as frank and as open as heaven and earth." ~Seng-Jiao Ran (720-799), Chinese monk of the Tang Dynasty

"When you place a tea utensil, you should withdraw your hand as though it were a loved one you were leaving." ~ Sen Rikyu (1522-1591, Japanese Tea Master Who Perfected The Tea Ceremony

"Better to be deprived of food for three days than tea for one."
~Chinese proverb

"One should clean out a room in one's home and place only a tea table and chair in the room with some boiled water and a fragrant tea. Afterward, sit comfortably and allow one's spirit to become tranquil, light, and natural."
~Li Ri Hua (1368-1644), scholar during the Ming Dynasty

"While there's tea there's hope."
~Sir Arthur Wing Pinero (1855-1934). British actor, playwright, and essayist
