Anthology Plan

I have selected my theme to be " The Tea Sipper's Journey". I have chosen this "tea sipper's journey" theme to help all women to remember that "excellent" cup of tea when, they stopped the busyness of their hectic lives and woke up the stillness inside themselves. That stillness is the part of all humanity that needs a nudge. When we stop and pour that first cup, all women know instinctively that she can create that stillness and take in all she desires. In that moment I hope she chooses great literature from around the world. Not just the simple poem that pleases us all , but all who dare to write the words of their hearts and bare their souls. I believe this journey, to open ourselves up to literature, is a choice for people to make. But especially for the women of this world, who so desperately need these moments of awakenning.

I hope this particular set of poems and excerpt's can awaken a part of you , you might have left behind. Possibly you might even find solace in these pieces of great literature women have even risked their lives for. I know the reader's of this particular anthology can find the mysteries of their hearts and souls, as I have. This is not exclusive to females but men have been selected because they crossed the lines of gender. That in itself is a mystery. From Anna Akmatova to Ani Di Franco, there is something there for all to take in and breathe deep.

As you journey I hope this writing has proven itself tried and true. Deep, mysterious and lovely as all people are. As you sip these powerful words of tradegy, hope and incredible strength finds you comforted. In all these words whether a poem or an excerpt, you find all that makes us humans and frail. These words can transcend all conditions of our lives and take you to new highs and perhaps even lows. Tho, not alone. You will come to love these words as I have. With a warm cup of tea and peace. One sip at a time.
