Dear Lost Souls,
This
past week, earthquakes rocked the Haberdashery's former home in
Ferrara, Italy. There was relatively little damage and loss of life, but
any is too much, and we are reminded of the fragility of our temporary
sojourn on this volatile lump of rock hurtling heedlessly through the
cosmos. Our hearts go out to our fellow Haberdites in the Ferrara area,
and as California residents, we touch wood that the Fates continue to
smile ambivalently upon our Bay Area terrestrial home. Live thee this
day that none will say it was wasted!!
Yes, my Compatriotic
Cosmonauts, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday Evening. And so we
gather once again beneath a paler shade of light to mark the seven
passing of our brightest star. 'Tis as good a moment as any to take
stock of our good fortune, rejoice in the beauty and grace that we enjoy
in this, one of the most extraordinary corners of the earth, and forget
not that we are the benefactors of a dynamic equilibrium that is tested
with each circuit of the Sun. Now let us lift a glass to Terra Firma,
Mother Earth . . . and Gaia's gifts that sustain us through our
ephemeral journey across this vast and timeless universe.
Yours,
Los Cabañero
