The best cultures in the world are those built on sharing community and a cuppa. Where no-one is truly alone. It’s something lost in modern cities but so important to regain.
In Australian Country towns,
the legend of the “Cuppa” has dried many a tear,
generated sweet laughs,
and made a kitchen table
a place of healing.
Where are they now?
In our cities we often don’t know our neighbours.
We rarely see inside their homes.
We live as if there is a wall around our houses,
a wall to keep others out, but that keeps us in.
We humans, were not born for loneliness.
Children grow with love, and suffer without,
So do we.
In the toughest of times we thrive
in the knowledge we are not alone.
So take time today to visit kindness once again.
Find ways to build caring community,
that benefits us all.
Put the kettle on.
Make a Cuppa, and make time to listen.
With time and room for laughter,
We make another person’s life valuable,
and value our own lives too.
