The Grand Café

--:--
I remember my grandmother taking me to town with her. We would have lunch together at a posh restaurant called the Grand Café. We would sit by the booth which had the most sun, so it was always warm. We chatted for long, laughed a lot, and she listened with love and great interest. I felt heard, seen, as well as nourished in that time. I've carried that warmth with me throughout my life and realize that the moments with our elders are like a wisdom blanket.

Welcome to the Grand Café, which talks to the elders of our communities about the best and most challenging times of their lives, so that we can build it into the sunshine of our future.
