STRAY THOUGHT OVER TEA

A thought:

There is something very soothing about a kitchen.

There are a bunch of tangents I could easily run off with about how food and sharing food and sitting down for regular family meals and friendly potlucks creates community...and how important communion and sharing communion is...and all that jazz; but really, I just wanted to say that thing about kitchens.

I just glanced up from my reading, and my good friend and housemate Liz Yeager is stirring some homemade chai tea over our stove top, and there's something about her, there, stirring her tea, and me, here at the table, with my book, and the space between us and the comfortable silence except for the quiet stirring.

That's all.

Honestly, that sounds beautiful. And you, Yeags, and Wrightstown need to come over sometime (or I could go over there) to cook some food and have some awesome hangouts!!
