Tables

What is it about tables? They are such an integral part of our culture. Today we sat together at a table, three partnerships with different needs and different things to bring to the table but one desire to firm up a deal. We put our cards on the table, literally and the deal came a little closer.
Perhaps it goes back to the round table, we are united in a cause, or like the last supper united in resolve or perhaps at a table we become a more basic thing; family.
More the pity then that the modern family, so I read, is getting rid of it's tables.
