really important

it's almost nearly, and very much possibly, getting closer to spring.



standing in a room-
part dining room, part opera, part kitchen;
my heart broke open;
not unlike the shell of a seed.

thank you
for being here,
for sharing this
cave of darkness with me;
but it's time
we venture out

xxoo

because I love you, I want you to  taste, and indulge  in things that are fresh,  to crave what is sweet & savory,  and to be nourished by the simple things.

a very special thanks



today we are a little sleep deprived, a little emotional, and a little bit in awe- 
as moses flies across oceans and foreign countries to the other side of the world, 
to land in western Australia by lunch time tomorrow.  
In honor of this incredible adventure, and the individual journeys we have made to get to this very point, moses and I have spent this last week together, outside of the restaurant with friends and family, and with each other in our home.  I feel honored to share this letter that moses left behind.
