  Hmmm….who are you inviting to tea? Anyone specific or are you generally musing about how we all need to be civil even if we don’t agree with one another?

  Sipping the tea in silence will resolve any problems between the two. Nice Haiku. Cheers.

  Tea can certainly be an agent of civility; interesting themes in this haiku

  Thank you, everyone. I was definitely thinking about tea as an agent for civility and I like Chris’s description of sipping tea in silence. I think I read in Haiku Mind somewhere about tea ceremonies that are just that - sitting together with tea but in silence.

  Beautiful, Alison! Lots of layers of meaning here–all inviting. Tolerance and tea make for a great infusion.
