World Cafe Live: Hershey's Kisses

Hershey's Kisses highlighted what seemed to be a memorable staple to every American child. Being outside and playing with other children among the, whether it was a humid summer day or a snowy brisk day after school, were many of our most pleasant and care-free memories. With that being said, making s'mores around a fire was probably the favorite pastime, and the artistic statement brought back the nostalgia. 

Being in the city now versus growing up in the suburbs, makes me appreciate the rare occasions I can experience a bonfire. Excluding this bonfire, the few other times I've been able to enjoy a fire with fellow friends were at a gathering called Drum Circle in Fairmount Park once every so often. At Drum Circle, a group of 30 or so people gather around a fire within the woods of Fairmount to dance around the fire and socialize with others while various people play drums and have some time away from the routine of living in the city. 

The Hershey's Kisses had a similar vibe to Drum Circle, only more of a relaxed atmosphere. The vibe of being around a fire has played an important role in the social development of humans. Even as so called "cavemen", gathering around a fire was an important staple of their sense of community. After a long stressful day of attempting to gather food and preventing death, they would gather around the fire as they would cook and eat meals together while enjoying the warmth and comfort of a fire. Through these types of gatherings social skills such as language and songs were created which led to a stronger sense of community.

Communities, friends, and social groups still play a vital role in society. The inability to socialize is a major hinderance to one's success. The people we connect with and create memories with is the most beautiful and rewarding thing about being alive. 

My one question is "could this become a daily occurrence"? Because wouldn't that be wonderful?!
