\"\"<\/a>My niece, Emma, and I tried to talk my sister Barbara into hosting a family gathering on Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

No go.\u00a0 Persuasive though we both can be, Barb had recently returned from an extended overseas trip and had a sick cat.\u00a0 She was also angst-ing over personal health concerns and was toying with the idea of throwing a bigger gathering in a few weeks to celebrate her wedding anniversary (48, I think) and Emma\u2019s 22nd birthday.<\/p>\n

I guess it was time to step up. I offered to host a small family barbecue and gave her only one assignment — to bring dessert. Knowing that she could top Baker\u2019s Square or even Whole Paycheck\u2019s bakery with something she could find in her freezer made this an easy request.<\/p>\n

I took a few moments to consider what I had gotten myself into.<\/p>\n

I guess company\u2019s coming.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, I have been in the habit of calling a few friends on an impromptu basis to join me for a simple dinner.\u00a0 Maybe we\u2019d toss hamburgers on the grill and watch a Netflix offering later.<\/p>\n

I never gave these types of get-togethers much thought.\u00a0 I know my friends have no expectations.\u00a0 They always try to bring something to share.\u00a0 These dinners are all very informal.<\/p>\n

Because my sister is such a wonderful cook and often opens her house for holiday dinners, I took the role more seriously.<\/p>\n

On Friday, I bought wine, beer, and sparkling water so that I could have beverages well-chilled when my guests arrived.\u00a0 I put freshly laundered towels in guest bathroom.<\/p>\n

Actually, I gave my bathroom a good cleaning like I do when I host my book group.\u00a0 When I clean the bathroom, it\u2019s not just a situation of expecting friends to drop in.\u00a0 This seems to make the idea of having company official.<\/p>\n

Unlike my sister, who seems strives for perfection, I aim for comfort.<\/p>\n

I want my guests to be comfortable in my home.\u00a0 I want them to feel welcome; well-fed and listened to.<\/p>\n

Living in a modest apartment for most of my adult life, I rarely stepped forward to host.\u00a0 Since owning my own condo, featuring central A\/C and two toilets, and now able to afford wild caught salmon to grill on my Weber (on cedar planks, no less) appeals to my pride, but I feel that my approach to entertaining probably hasn\u2019t changed much over the years.<\/p>\n

Yes, there\u2019s always more than enough food.\u00a0 (I\u2019m just now considering who I can invite for leftovers.) I\u2019m more than happy to receive whatever guests want to bring.\u00a0 (I recognize and consciously give space to how much people want to contribute to sharing a good time.)<\/p>\n

But the idea of company <\/strong>has many levels.<\/p>\n

A popular online dictionary defines company as \u201cThe fact or condition of being with another or others, especially in a way that provides friendship and enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, the term comes from an old French military term for “body of soldiers,\u201d which comes from the Latin\u00a0word, \u201c<\/strong>companion,\u201d which translates into “one who eats bread with you.”<\/p>\n

The idea of eating with people that you belong to is a strong association.\u00a0 Sharing food is a big part of our contemporary concept of having company.\u00a0 Certainly, it\u2019s a key part of mine.<\/p>\n

But, in my spiritual practice, I\u2019ve also been thinking about being in good company with myself, or appreciating being in the company of the truth.<\/p>\n

I was happy with how my dinner party went.\u00a0 My rice salad, prepared without a recipe, got rave reviews, and I made chimichurri sauce for the first time. Also a winner.<\/p>\n

Barb made a wonderful peach tart and others brought nice additions to the cavalcade of edibles.<\/p>\n

But, as we sat around the table, talking about plans for the summer or experiences we had since the last time we shared a meal, one of the quieter members of the group relayed how she was victim to a recent scam.<\/p>\n

It was a small group, but the fact that she felt okay, that she felt comfortable enough to be authentic and vulnerable in my house felt oddly gratifying to me.<\/p>\n

Having even a small part in creating a safe place is no small thing.<\/p>\n
