As We say Goodbye to 2023

This year comes to an ends, and another arrives –

twilight's theatre brings a colorful sky, and the moonrise adds sparkle to unseen corners

If only at that moment I could bring 

a song that the world could dance to,

and

 long tables with unending platters of pomegranates, paelle, pani puri, plantains

and plenty of other plates that I do not know their

names, but when I taste them, I savor the recipes,

And comfortable chairs that circle around

and conversations spiced with laughter, understanding, and compassion

where we witness babies in the laps of their grandparents and children running around,

and people falling in love as their feet touch under the table.

Under a sky of blue and twinkling stars,

A never-ending cycle of earthly harmony.

Damn that would be nice.

    Praying the blessings of the New Year cascades on you and your family and that you do saver the tastes of many recipes with a circle of family and friends around a table where the conversation is spiced with laughter, understanding, and compassion…
