I love the idea of the "unique and powerful occasions that have the ability to ripple throughout time," and for me, that gets at the heart of what mercy does. I had the joy of attending a keynote by Naomi Shihab Nye this week, and she talked of how "ripple" is her favorite word. It's a powerful reminder of how we're all connected. or in other words, we all drink the tea.
"Ripple" is such a powerful word! I've been reading some C.S. Lewis passages for Lent and in one recent one he speaks about how the human race is like a cup of water; if you drop something into it--whether good or bad--it spreads throughout the cup. In other words, we are more connected than separate. Such a good reminder!

Also, thank you so much for the share thread!

I’ve been that shaky hand being given tea before and I’m sure I will be again in the future.
We've all been there. Thank you for sharing. <3
