This is Canadian Thanksgiving Day and I just finished making a batch of applesauce (with Cortlands). Thank you for your thoughts out loud on friendship, feasting and Hannah Arendt. As we enter the season of shortening daylight, and more cocooning due to COVID -19, finding ways to do this (feasting, friendship as a way of thinking through) seems like one of the best challenges to our creativity. I'm looking forward to that challenge, and, to your forays in the coming months.
I love that this project has taken root for you. The mystery and joys and powerful things in play as we feast come to mind often, but I'm so excited to have you lead us through what you find and discover, Alissa. Already my favorite book of next year.
This reminds me of a line in Wisława Szymborska's poem Possibilities: “I prefer myself liking people / to myself loving humanity.”
