Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Tea With Cozy Mystery And Cat


This weekend I visited Tea and Traditions, a charming little tea room very close to my new apartment, and picked up two new teas for my one-cup infuser: Moroccan Mint and Floral Ti Kuan Yin, an Oolong tea with a “delicate, floral aroma and light honey/chestnut nuances with a lingering aftertaste.” (How could I not get a tea named after Kuan Yin?)

I sipped hot tea while finishing The Perfect Paragon by M. C. Beaton, her newest “cozy” mystery novel, set in a little village in the English Cotswolds, featuring amateur detective Agatha Raisin. Kato the cat was curled up on the sofa next to me.

The prophecies concerning me have come true: I am turning into an old cat lady. Oh well, I guess there are far worse fates...

I love Morccan Mint tea (the real kind) having lived there for four years.

Kuan Yin - yes! Goddess of mercy... may she shed hers on you.

I am allergic to cats but love them to pieces. Your day sounds wonderfully cozy.
