X. Tower Tea Ceremony Dave Malloy (Ft. Original Off-Broadway Cast of Octet)

[PAULA]
The Tower Tea Ceremony is a reminder to us all of the wonder of small things, the wonder of ourselves, and the wonder of others. We pour for our neighbor; we drink with attention; we journey within

(The group begins a simple tea ritual.)

[ALL]
​breathe and sing with me
​and drink your tea

​breathe in
​breathe out
​let be
​hold the cup
​sit and drink your tea

​breathe and sing with me
​and drink your tea

(Paula walks around the circle, adding something to each teacup with a dropper.)

[PAULA]
​this is how the tea feels

[ALL]
​this is how the tea smells
​this is how the tea tastes
