Samain Closing Moon
Tomorrow night Cafe Zentral with Tom and Roxanne. Next Monday with the class of 2005 at Allison’s. Thanksgiving at the Capital Grille with Anne. Then, the Nicollet Island Inn on December 15th. It’s both the holiseason and a time of farewell. I’m looking forward to all these times.
Our goal is to have all of the packing that we’re going to do done by Thanksgiving and that feels realistic to me, in spite of my last post. I’ve had a nap.
We have that in the cave with a roaring fire and a hunk of early bison roasting feeling. You know, animal skins snug around us, plenty of meat and berries in the pantry, a wintry landscape outside. No raiding the local grocery stores necessary for a reasonable time. A pleasure of humankind for the last fifty to a hundred thousand years.
Come to think of it, I guess that’s why meals together bring such warmth. That kind of conviviality goes way, way back.
