Hello Beloved,
Lately I have been watching a show about traveling back in time to change the future. It got me to thinking about a conversation my Beloved and I used to have every now and then. Sometimes just the two of sometimes with other folks.
One of us would ask this, who would you like to share a meal with? Past or present and why? The usual suspects were listed, Jesus, Buddha, various presidents, a few popular personalities.
Lately my answers have been a bit more personal. My Beloved’s favorite Grandma, so I could understand where her ethics and sense of generosity and love of having fun came from. A couple of my own ancestors so I could understand my stiff-necked German ways.
I would like to talk to the 4-year-old me to maybe understand what trauma happened in my young life. I would like to talk with the 23-year-old me and tell myself to make better choices with my money.
I would like to talk with one of the Dragons of God. I would like to talk with the son He raised for me. I would like to talk to the person that had the bright idea to breed Pugs. I mean they are cute and all, but their noses don’t allow them to breathe.
I wonder what brunch with Moses and Abraham would be like. Who would you like to have a meal with? Put a bit of thought into if you have the time.
Beloved, have a lovely…
