I tossed some words about in the air and this is how they landed --
cold as ice
water waits without a hint
of movement
None of the boiling
needed
for my cinnamon tea
sweet with
red hot chili bite
Tongue touches lips
salivating
water cold as ice
in copper kettles
full and silent
Words wait
no hint of movement
to be poured fresh
steaming
I must use
what I have
but first
turn on the flame
Begin to begin

I do like that "begin to begin." Yes, perfect. :)
I agree--'begin to begin' is a powerful thought! Thanks Karin.
The heat and cold here keep stopping me. I think heat with a copper kettle, and you have it ice cold. And it jars me a little. In a good way.
Thanks for jumping in with this, Karin! I'm so glad you're along for the Rumors ride. :-)
...first turn on the flame...
Reminds me of fanning the flame, and sometimes that takes time and patience.
And then there's "a watched pot never boils."
