My Italian artist friend was recently widowed and just lost her dog to the frailties of old age. She called me up a few nights ago and just wanted to talk. I told her at her husband’s funeral that I was accessible 24/7 for a chat, coffee, a meal, a song or a day of painting. My friend Denise calls and says she’s made a goat stew. I suggested a gathering. Invited 10 people last minute and there were 5 of us around the table.
For those who gather for home cooked meals, I salute you. To bring people together on a regular basis is magical and humanitarian. We get to break bread, conversation, wax philosophy, poetry and some wisdom. I bring my guitar, play a few tunes and we all get to land on this spinning ball of a planet and just be grounded once again. Till we do it again.
Get out y’all. Just get out of your head and get off the electronics to engage. Get out.
