Ginger tea Series Part 4: Elephant's Ear Kalanchoe

The Elephant's Ear Kalanchoe from Madagascar:

As I sit on my bamboo rocker the obnoxious sounds of the street penetrate my persona like a shag carpet being cleaned. The roar of automobile engines and the ear deafening shrills of fire trucks and a near by ambulance makes me want to crawl inside myself...

As I restfully sit I begin to ponder about life. The ginger tea acts like a time machine as I travel to the different time periods in history. I'm amazed as I see vivid periods of the renaissance and the industrial revolution. Sipping calmly I can see Orval Wright with his many attempts at flying and Henry Ford's first unveiling of his Model T to many interested investors. Calmly as I rock the tea fast forwards me to modern day society and the marvels of space travel...

As I peacefully rock back and forth I notice the special plant I purchased in the middle east. The Elephant's Ear Kolanchoe rivets my body forward until my soul merges with the plant's aura of tranquility.

Have I reached the nirvana state I dreamed about? Slowly as I rock the leaves act like tongues as I softly hear:..............It is So!
