Table 11

The table is a piece of simple furniture that has 'special powers' as it is able to draw and attract people, and get them to spend time from minutes to hours, engaged in a variety of activities The table is witness to both happy and sad moments, and it is a place where we find comfort and solace.

It is mostly the place where we gather and connect. Irrespective of the activity, it brings people together and allows for sharing and communicating. This is the place where we grow our relationships by creating bonds, and opening up to each other about things we wouldn't ordinarily talk about.

The table in its sturdy form, serves as an anchor or something to lean on for all those who need grounding. As it is such an indispensable item, we must also take care to be selective about the people we choose to share this space with. We must be very mindful to choose positive people who are of value to us, and who contribute to our health and well-being, but also be aware of what you as an individual bring to the table.

The next time you are seated at a table, observe and allow your senses to guide you in deciding who you would like to sit at your table, what you would like served at this table, and most importantly what you can bring to the table.
