Gorgeous. Brought me right back to gatherings in our old 400sqft apartment cramming 20 people in wherever they fit… In the ache of life we ache for more living.
Oh wow, Roxani, this made me feel really held in all the complicated emotions I’ve been feeling lately. From the big questions to the small ones. Thanks for writing this 💙
Wonderful and heartwarming to read your piece, especially in ‘These Times’ when worry and concern about what events today and tomorrow will bring seems so dominating.
Always such a joy to see one of your pieces in my inbox - Amen to the gift of a crowded table, and all your other beautiful observations 💛
Thank you, dear Rachel! Hoping to sit around a crowded table with you some time this year. 💛
Beautiful beautiful beautiful ❤️
I just realised the table we sat at together on Thursday also qualifies (though the writing of this essay slightly pre-dated it…) ❤️

“In the ache of life we ache for more living” - yes! 💛
A song to the joys of living and its tribulations.
Here’s to more song!

Thank you for reading, dear friend. Let’s sit together around a table and dream of dancing soon. 💛
Sounds like a dream <3!

Thanks, Chris! I feel the worry too. On a hopeful day, I like to think we can gather to do something about it too. Have a gentle start to February!
