Another Great Evening with the BHC

Last night we had another great evening with our friends from the Brooklyn Humanist Community. We met at Robin and Michael's apartment in Kensington. It's one of those great old buildings, probably dates back to the 1930's, with some lovely detail in the rooms that you never see nowadays. Archways, glass doorknobs, etc. Robin and Michael have two beautiful cats, an orange one and a dark silver tabby with quite a voice. They are both adorable but Falstaff (the tabby) is a real lover.

We got underway a bit late since a few people had a hard time getting there. The potluck dinner was terrific: a huge salad, vegetable lasagne, and a yummy pasta salad with roasted pine nuts on top. For dessert we had strawberry shortcake with a heart shaped cookie in honor of Valentine's Day.

The topic was "Moral Ideals," and the discussion as usual was broad-ranging. Because we started late and spent a good deal of time on the first six paragraphs of the chapter, Kurt decided we would finish up the discussion on the rest of the chapter at next month's Reflection.

It wasn't so much the words that were said but the warmth that was felt in that room. We are so fortunate to have stayed friends through all that happened, when some other friends were lost because they cast their lot in with the other side at BSEC.

At the final go-around everyone mentioned that warm feeling and how much we care for one another. I'd like to see us grow and expand but if we never do, we'll still have each other. And that's wonderful.
