The idea for the text was born from a conversation I had with a friend at her home. There were shards of broken dishes all over the floor — she was very emotional. When I came in, she was sitting on the floor as if nothing had happened, making sandwiches. A cup of hot tea stood nearby. Her face was tear-streaked. She offered me sandwiches and tea. I sat down on the floor, and we silently drank the tea. Then she started crying... It was a difficult period in her life.
