Christ is the Lord
Lord of the Light
Lord of the Shining Worlds
the One Light
within each One.
Christ is the One Light moving
across the face of the Earth
awakening souls
in the shadow of illusion.
Awakening love
and forgiveness
in every heart,
awakening Peace on Earth
Beauty lies at the heart of the tea ceremony. Each object used must be beautiful. Special cups are made for this ceremony. Even to look on these cups is to be brought into a wider, calmer realm of the self.
The tea master Okakura KaKuzo has said that beauty evokes harmony and the mystery of mutual charity... . All that we call beautiful is a kind of vessel, like love, that holds what we know.
