"Eat" <#write31days > Five MInute Friday

This month, I'm joining  Write 31

writing off  a one word prompt for 
five minutes per day.

I'm thrilled to take part and hope my writing 
improves and deepens, given 

a "forced" appointment with my blogger draft daily!
And I'm happy to link to Kate's weekly FMF party!
 

                                                                    So here goes, in five:

Eat

 Love these words spoken by Julia Child,  once upon a time......

 "People who love to eat are always the best people."

But one step further....I  revel in not just those people

who love to eat.........but the ones who love to 

linger, wallow, immerse, frequent, gather,  

spend vast amounts of time......

and not just for the food.

And the crowd, be it two or twenty two,

as they set about the table

in that kitchen, the soul of the house 

Hearts assemble and share, catch up, become accepted....

while chopping, stirring, mixing, sipping, stirring, creating.

Because it's not just about the food...these times when we draw near,

for celebration or for the everyday, is it?

It's about the power of the gathering......

Doesn't it inspire us  to be more?

More joyful,  more  reflective, more happy?

More alive?

Old or young, host or guest, newcomer or 'regular,'

all gathered, expectantly, for sustenance of body and soul.....

we restore one another.....

we  are each other's refreshment, indulgence, tonic.
