The "Starbucker" Meme

DateSaturday, June 2, 2007 at 09:48AM

shotglass2.jpg

I've been tagged. By a shot glass, no less.

Terry Starbucker, over at Ramblings from a Glass Half Full, is kicking off an interesting "meme-metaphor." Terry poses these four questions:

1. How full is your glass?
2. What kind of glass is it?
3. What's in the glass?
4. Reasons for #1, #2, and #3

He'll collate the answers from everyone who participates and post a "meme-mosaic." Here's my "shot" at his questions:

1. How full is my glass? It's full!

2. What kind of glass? Easy...a tea glass.

3. What's in it? Chai tea, of course.

4. My reasons?

We can choose to drink tea mindfully or not. It's the same thing with our life. We can choose to create, or "drink," our life...consciously or unconsciously.

If we choose to create our lives consciously, then our experiences become wonderfully "tasteful" like chai tea; rich and spicy; full of zip and zest!

And the tea glass? That's like our mind. Our mind is the "container" which holds our "chai" tea experiences together.

I now pass the "glass" invitation to:

Spicy indeed! Thanks Tom for responding to the tag with such a richly textured analogy. I always knew you were a half-fuller too! Can't wait to share a chai with you in CT soon - all the best.

Hi Terry!

Glad you like the post...it was fun thinking about it.

Hey-I'll start the chai tea...I'm just missing some company :-)

All the best.
