For the second year in a row, my plan is to be out of the country this 4th of July. So, no getting together with family. Still, I thought of this Wendell Berry poem in advance. If you are getting together with family this weekend for a juicy hamburger and a slice of watermelon, maybe think about this poem by Wendell Berry.

“I tremble with gratitude
for my children and their children
who take pleasure in one another.
At our dinners together,
the dead enter and pass among us
in living love and in memory.
And so the young are taught.”
