It is a time when everyone could chat to each other and many discussions and debates happened over our dinner table.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15092117102877690831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-39389186654771894042011-01-16T22:45:18.611-06:002011-01-16T22:45:18.611-06:00What a great poem, Abby!

Sometimes I long for a "controlled" dinner, where nothing gets spilled, smeared, or thrown, and I don't have to get up at least a dozen times. But you're right - while dinner at the table may be a challenge every night, it's a practice that is worth the pain we put into it. <br /><br />Also - your description of the value of dinner time reminded me so strongly of a poem I loved in college that I thought I'd share: it's called "Perhaps the World Ends Here" by Joy Harjo, and can be found http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=179782.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455731328333118780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-25497335903631353862011-01-16T19:44:54.101-06:002011-01-16T19:44:54.101-06:00Yep, that is the best thing about life.
