Welcome!

Come in, dust yourself off, get your shoulders down from around your ears and find a comfy couch, that one over there is good. Here's some pillows. Yup, we're burning clandles and incence all the time, even when it's sunny out, like right now. Here's an ottoman for your feet. How about a nice single malt? We've got The Balvenie. Or an orange soda with vanilla ice? Here, taste these cucumber sandwiches. Don't they look yummy?Absolutely delicious. I told you so. Later there'll be some people from upstairs, you know, from the practice room. We'll make Misu play the cello. In the meantime, what will it be: Ahead of All Parting by Rilke is a recommendation, or some Yeats for a pleasant afternoon? There you go, enjoy. No, no, that's quite alright. Just kick back and relax. We love having you here.

gods in cyber space, creating worlds in our own image

It's more than a little exhausting. What was advertised as requiring a mere 15 minutes has been an undertaking of several hours. Why? Because I want it just so, want to fill in all the blanks in the way, particular to this world, the Tea House, a little spot, just around the corner from where you and I live. A place to duck into at a moment's notice, forget about our cares, and let the world appear exactly as we wish. In other words, a magical place.
