From the Introduction:
In this world, few things are so easily comforting as a warm beverage in one’s favorite mug. Certainly there are greater thrills, deeper pleasures, and broader delights. Yet the simple and unrefined joy of receiving, holding, tasting, savoring, is an unequaled act of love. The act of offering such a nourishing gift is an exchange of lovingkindness and caregiving. Take something elementally pure; infuse your best energy into it; strain off the dross; offer it with love.
