"I will see you in the dishes that I wash." On Staying Behind
You will be with me.
I will not let you go.
No. No, I won’t.
Well—
Yes, of course I will.
I would not bind
You
To this sodden life.
But in the same time,
In the same word,
In the same spirit,
I will not let you go.
I will see you
In the dishes
That I wash,
In the silver
That I store.
I will hear your
Voice in the sounds of the house,
In the rising up and the lying down.
I will hold you until
We are together
Yet again,
For a longer while
In another space,
At another time.

A love story of the ages. But, really, whether it is a friend, mother, father, husband, wife...I could go on. No matter who we miss because of absence, we can still have the best of that person with us in our own private way. skp
A Suggestion for Tea-
Many of my readers know that I am a lover of fine teas. Previously in the Causerie, I have suggested two companies that provide excellent quality tea, Smith Tea and Nina's Paris Tea. I am now suggesting a third. Each of these three companies provide a different type of tea product and experience for you to savor. There is so much variation in the world of tea, I urge you to indulge yourself in the pleasure of sampling.
I would like to recommend Glenburn Estate, http://www.glenburnteadirect.com/. This company is also award winning in its excellence. Not only will you enjoy their pure teas, but I bet that you will also love their bath products. I am particularly addicted to their Darjeeling Green Tea hand and body lotion. You also might want to venture a trip and stay at their resort estate! Please take a look at their web site and pick a tea to try.
By all means, let me know what you think of Smith Teas, Nina's Paris Teas, and Glenburn Estate Teas. I am interested to hear. skp

Women often are the primary harvesters of tea. Their small hands can easily pick the right buds and leaves.
