“Hospitality’s Harvest”
At Home in Chicago
Painting and Poem by Rina Lucas
The fine fragrance
Of generosity
Lingers in the air
And on the palate
Reminding us
Though everything is new…
Surroundings
Sights
Sounds
Significance
Amid the dizzying array
Of changes
A big move
To city life brings
Hospitality remains host
A harvest of kindness key.
Many thanks for sharing this preview of the exhibit with me! I look forward to seeing you at the opening reception!
