去る６月１４日に久しぶりに長野庵のお茶会を開催することが出来ました。
雨の多い５月６月でしたのでお天気が心配でしたが、さわやかな風が吹きわたり気持ちの良い
絶好のお茶会日和となりました。
２回目の長野庵でのお点前を披露し『上達したね』と褒められましたと報告してくれた新人さん。
日本の種子島からアメリカにお嫁に来て、５０年ぶりの練りきりとお抹茶に、美味しい、美味しいと大感激をしてくださった８０代のご婦人。
お茶を通して、たくさんの歓びをいただいています。
On June 14, we were pleased to hold another tea gathering at Nagano-an. Although we had worried about the rainy season weather, the day was blessed with a refreshing breeze and perfect conditions.
One newer member was delighted to hear that her tea ceremony performance had improved since her last presentation. We were also touched by an eighty-year-old guest from Tanegashima, Japan, who enjoyed nerikiri sweets and matcha for the first time in fifty years.
Through the way of tea, we continue to share many joyful and meaningful moments with others.
