“the table is a meeting place, a gathering ground,
the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction.
a person cooking is a person giving; the simplest food is a gift.”
-laurie colwyn

may you gather today with those you love to share your gifts.
I assume it’s your Thanksgiving today, eh? Wonderful combo, love it. I do that not once per year but regularly. Last Sunday we had my sis & husband, 2 days earlier a widow, today I sit with another single friend ‘around’ the table….
It’s a brilliant idea, sharing food and talk, candles and laughter, tears and sorrows – everything bad shared is half the pain and every joy shared is double the ‘good’.
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing your joys, laughter and ‘whatnots’ every day with us. Love you, Kiki

thank you so much, Kiki and gathering around a table for whatever reason is such an important ritual. we’ve been talking about ‘gathering’ in my class for the last couple of weeks, and next week we’ll continue, having our own time for cooking and gathering in our classroom as a group.

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here of course, but we always eat at the table, and keep that tradition going. I hope you have a wonderful day, Beth.
Best wishes, Pete.
