"For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars."

Previous Quote

A meal, however simple, is a moment of intersection. It is at once the most basic, the most fundamental, of our life's activities, maintaining the life of our bodies; shared with others it can be an occasion of joy and communion, uniting people deeply.
