The company of good friends



One of the simplest pleasures in life is to share good food in the company of friends.  And last night was no exception.  My little circle of women friends met in the Maryport home of one of our number to celebrate writings and poetry with an American theme, it being the 4th July an ‘all.  It’s amazing how rich and varied the selections of writing were and how moving they proved to be, especially when our choices universally touched on human rights issues from the Cherokee Trail of Tears through the Freedom Riders of 1961 to modern day social exclusion.
