christmas dinner musing...
Christmas day, dinner:
R to number one: "why don't you say grace?"
Number one: "ok... Grace!"
R: "i meant the blessing!"
Number one: "The Blessing!"
Raffy, Number 3 and LG: "Amen!"
as we sat around the candle lit table eating the christmas turkey and the homemade cranberry sauce and the mashed potatoes and the spinach salad with blue cheese and the truffle pate over toast points, an interesting conversation ensued. if jesus and buddha met, would they get along? i said, i think they would, because they believe in essentially similar things - love towards humanity, kindness, forgiveness, humility, harmony within the world of man and nature. they would however, in my opinion, disagree on one fundamental issue. cuisine. where would jesus and buddha go to dinner? they'd never agree on a restaurant. buddha is a vegetarian, probably even vegan according to number one. jesus, being a fisherman, would be all about the sushi. and he'd probably rack up quite a bill what with his fond likeness for sharing wine and letting it flow among friends along with the never ending bread basket. they would be hard pressed to find a restaurant they'd both like. that's for sure. as raffy would say, "that's true, i mean really, think about it..."
and so we did.
