Life is funny. Especially when you strip away that which seems important, but really isn’t. Down to the core, the essence, the things that make us who we are: family, memories, food, wine, generations, all in a setting that lets us know we’re blessed.
This is a letter I wrote to a friend of mine, a friend that we all share. I suppose Dionysus, in this age of social media, is the connective fiber that ties many of us together. Just the same, without the support of family, our ability to be a friend is merely window-dressing. Who we are is what we have to give.
Summer wanes ... and I get reflective about the things that are important in life.
