鲁云伴你灵修（5）
Henri Nouwen之语，摘自《灵程之粮》
吃喝是我们活着的需要，而吃饭却有着比吃喝更丰富的内容，它是对我们生命中所共享的礼物的一种庆贺。
一起共餐是最亲密和最神圣的人类活动之一。当我们围桌而坐时我们变得脆弱，我们要给他人的盘子和杯子盛满食物，鼓励他人吃喝。吃饭所要做的远比食以饱腹和饮以止渴要多的多。当我们围桌而坐时我们成为一家人，成为朋友，成为共同体，还有就是——我们成为一个身体。
这就是为什么设立餐桌席如此重要。鲜花、蜡烛、五颜六色的餐巾都帮助我们向他人说：“这是一个特别的时刻，让我们享用吧”。

The words of Henri Nouwen, from the book Bread for the Journey:“We all need to eat and drink to stay alive. But having a meal is more than eating and drinking. It is celebrating the gifts of life we share. A meal together is one of the most intimate and sacred human events. Around the table we become vulnerable, filling one another’s plates and cups and encouraging one another to eat and drink. Much more happens at a meal than satisfying hunger and quenching thirst. Around the table we become family, friends, community, yes, a body.
“That is why it is so important to “set” the table. Flowers, candles, colorful napkins all help us to say to one another, “This is a very special time for us, let’s enjoy.
