Plums for Bohemian Plum Dumplings

Joseph Campbell must have something to say on this topic ... but I haven't been able to find it.

I think of tradition as a way to link with the past. Powerful stuff!

The beautiful thing about tradition is that at any moment, we can create a new tradition! or drop an old one.

Many of the posts on Hidden Passages are about foods, memory, tradition and family stories. It all helps to explain where we come from.
