Osso bucco, candlelight and a glass of wine.


I once had a hairdresser who lived life well.

I remember this hairdresser well.

He wasn't married

He didn't have a partner.

He lived alone.

And at night he lived a magical life.

A life that he staged.

When he came home from his day at the salon

He took a shower,

And dressed in bright colored casual clothes.

He poured himself a glass of wine...

turned on a Brahms symphony...

and was transported to another space.

An hour of another world.

The reverie ended.

And he went into the kitchen to prepare his supper.

One hour later he set the dining table with his late mother's best china and crystal,

lit the candles,

carried out a serving dish and a bottle of Merlot

And sat down to a splendid meal

of Osso Bucco, a glass of wine...

...and candlelight....!

Life can be beautiful....no matter where....no matter whom....

If you create the 'frame!'
