Imagine a wise sage beginning their young disciple's training with how to...
Control the tea leaves.
Control the tea leaves.
How?
Just
add water. Enough of it.
And
leaves. And patience. And fine motor skills. And then?
Experiment.
See
what patterns you can come up with.
See
if you can reproduce these patterns, or explain to me how you think I got them without even touching the leaves:
 |
| Try out some "tea-bending". |
Work with what you've got.
Just like with other skills (and more practical ones), sometimes it takes patience, a little tweaking, imagination, and experimentation, but by looking at a few working examples, and by using some of your pre-existing skills, you might surprise yourself with what's possible.
Have
fun at tea time! XD
