There is something quietly civilizing
about sharing a meal with other people.
The simple act of making someone something
to eat, even a bowl of soup or a loaf of bread,
has a many-layered meaning.
It suggests an act of protection and caring,
of generosity and intimacy.
It is in itself a sign of respect.
