« The Alchemy of Love- Thanksgiving »

It's the day after the feast called Thanksgiving. I am sitting in the afterglow as I just finished my second day tastings of all the extraordinary food prepared and shared by thirty family members who descended upon the home and joint family that Tom and I began creating nearly eight years ago.

What is it about such a day that can pull everyone to fly and drive from nine states around the union to be together? Or,  for me to be so inspired with a heart of mindfulness to every last detail on three formal table settings that pleases the eyes of those ninety, sixty and one years old? Or Tom, who attends effortlessly and successfully to three eighteen pound turkeys? It can only be one unmeasurable experience called LOVE. 

Love is the transformational power that holds the healing of absolution of all our human folly. When love gathers it builds upon itself. The gathering of family and friends offers such potentiality. What begins as a feast becomes a love fest.
