Leonardo da Vinci is perhaps a name that everyone is familiar with... artist, philosopher, inventor, the "universal man." Putting our own pursuit of experience in the august context of this Renaissance master, we read:
"When an activity ceased to bring him knowledge, Leonardo seems to have abandoned it, sometimes in midstream. Some resented or calumniated him for this, and even now scholars deplore the fact that he left so much unfinished or seemed careless about how his work would endure...he sees in the very nature of human vitality to explain why this creative work needs to be, in one sense, endless, that is, never finished but always moving from one project and vision to the next, not miserably restless but not dully placid either."
(Craig Walton, Leonardo on the Natural and the Artificial, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, 1986, Far West Editions.)
In order to reconfigure and streamline our operations, we will stop serving food and tea at the Tea Bar starting the end of day April 30th. I know this may seem sudden for some of you who enjoy the Tea Bar on a regular basis. In order to ease the transition back to retail only, we will be serving Iced Tea on our back patio. So come and enjoy a to-go cup of icey cold tea for a relaxing summer drink.
We are currently considering other options for the space next door. If you are interested in working with us, or have an idea for something extraordinary then let us know.
