Food, wine, and stories.

That’s what bind us.

Or rather, one creates the environment where the other is consumed. And in its consummation that’s where stories are told.

And in their telling, understanding emerges, laughter engages, sorrow bonds and we weave the threads into our collective memory.

We forget our individuality, surrender to the whole, that illusive equation that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Find our ‘we’, forget our ‘me’, rediscover our shared chi.

The tribe exists because of its history, because of its narrative, without it we’d be just a collection of beings, shared blood or birth, but not shared belief.

United we stand, but first we must unify.

How do we do that?

Food, wine, and stories.
