A good night

She is working on AIDS educational materials, books and films. He produces documentaries in third world countries in Asia and Africa. Dinner was at a table and house I used to partly own. Although we teased them about removing the 500-year old fireplace that had once been the source of all heating and cooking, the new openness was cheery. The place where the washer once was crammed now is lit and is used for wine racks.


The meal is an annual event that I would travel a good way around the world to join for them for the conversation, food and warmth.

They are part of the Copenhagen South atmosphere and they are really the next to last wave of friends to come before I resume my Geneva life with all its dimensions.

The electricity went out again twice during the meal. We had an outage the night before. They had candles that lit our conversation. Our hearts were already alight with the warmth of sharing food and thoughts with intelligent, creative people.
