Engaging: Tea and Insight

This hot green tea
Feels so good to me!
‘Tis such a delight
A welcome respite,

Some days
It tastes so good
But on other occasions
Is gulped down without comment,

‘Tis so with all else,
Or so it seems,
What arises arises
Or not, as the case may be,

It’s in the language,
This cause and effect game;
It’s difficult to do without it
And so, it is, again and again,

But after countless hours
Of observation,
I see such variation
In how this moment is received,

One time it’s great,
I feel so fine,
And then I’m upset
Although all seems the same,

It must be different
But I cannot discern,
When I look for the source
It’s nowhere to be found,

I make up stories
About what I think
This or that is about
But where do these tales come from?
What is their origin?
