I start this with a total set up. The commitment to make your way back to the very place you once shared your wedding vows. Even if you’ve been whittled back to being one. Being in that place isn’t living in the past but rather tapping into a source of energy. July 11, 2021 and every day before it for 28 years I’ve been in the very place where our vows were brought to the openness of the atmosphere. That day in this forest that which I live we shared our handwritten very personal one on one wedding words and expressions. It feels like the blink of an eye. Yet the tree line has changed. Limbs have broken. 28 seasons of leaves dancing in the fall wind. Poison Ivy vines thickened and nature’s animal kingdom has increased. But it didn’t happen in the blink of an eye. The deer didn’t suddenly arrive. The hawks with their beautifully constructed nests didn’t appear overnight. I’ve met several years of snakes but only one of them came with poison. In our vows my wife and I made it clear to those who attended that we weren’t there to create a promise. The day would forever represent a growing guarantee. Our shapes have changed. We aren’t perfect which means we face our challenges. The forest that which we shared our vows in has been with us the entire way. Because so much life has grown around us it proves that it was a day of not becoming one but place of continuation and universal partnership. Which is why I extend the challenge to you. Go be in the very place you once stood. Go there to view all that has changed including you. Look at what you were once part of. Take note of how and why you chose to be there. There’s a story. Share it or someone will write it for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
