This is a tea dance with music and words.(don't laugh too hard at me) It has four parts: born, young, old, death and reborn. We are just like teas. Teas are like us.

Dancing in the fire, Tea is fun; playing Tea is wild. Walking together on air, yes together; Tea has become an old friend. Returning to the earth once again, so soon; yet Tea will be there for the next generations to come. Steven R.

"Tea and Ceremony" by Diana Saltoon . This is a very good book on tea by a Westerner, the reason I state this is because I am happy to see The West , not only interested but sincerely learning about the Asian Cultures and Asian Classics. Diana Saltoon has actually "lived tea", meaning she has studied and experienced tea from the heart and soul, this can be seen in her writing. I have read much on tea and some things get lost in the translations, not only the translations of language, but the translation of understanding, comprehending, and experiencing, then being able to write for the reader. It is not easy to immerse yourself in Tea Culture and write about tea...you have to live tea. I like that she has looked and tea from different angles and she has done her home...she write of Lu Yu the Tea Saint and also tea's roots from China. She also delves into the relationship with tea and Zen/Chan. Great job Ms. Diana Saltoon ! About the author: Tea and
