Breaking Bread

Times are difficult for many people.

The spectrum of troubles run from catastrophic and devastating resulting from military actions to isolation.

A simple action of sharing meals can ease many of the challenges we face.

Thomas Carlyle artfully opined:

Dinners are defined as ‘the ultimate act of communion;’ men that can have communion in nothing else, can sympathetically eat together, can still rise into some glow of brotherhood over food and wine. — Thomas Carlyle
