So many things happen on a table.

By Suzume · Kyoto

So many things happen on a table. You can place things on it, or even hide something. You can write love letters, study, or face tax documents. It can also be a place to create something. Sometimes you share a meal around a table with someone. Sometimes you have heart-to-heart conversations. You laugh, cry, argue, and make up. Sometimes you drink alone, Sometimes you roll one alone, Dozing off in the smoke, And before you know it, you might fall asleep face down on the table. You might play games, Or make plans for the future. Even life-changing decisions, Are surprisingly often made on a simple table. I've always preferred round tables over square ones. With corners, it feels like boundaries are created between people. It feels like you're separated from the person next to you, and I don't really like that. But round tables are different. Everyone feels naturally connected, And there's a sense of harmony. It's just a single board, Yet, countless stories are born on it every day. People gather, Words are exchanged, Something begins, Something ends. When I think about it, Most of the events that changed my life, I feel like they always started on a table. Table Story But now, I'm a Chabudai person.
