We sat on a hardwood floor. The air conditioning was perfect. I have a thing for great air conditioning. Reminds me of stone floors in Florida. When I was a kid. When the kids would all be on the floor laughing. Great, crisp, central air. Can't beat it. Well, open windows with an ocean breeze can beat it.
Hardwood floor. A group of friends. This group does not gather together very often. We are six people, navigating the waters and we meet up every so often for a game night. We play celebrity. Cut the paper up, write the names down and jump in.
Some of us went outside. sat under the night sky. Under the trees. Talked about SUCCESS. What it means? What we think it means? Why we seem to never think we have arrived. Or that we always need more. Or that we are not enough. Sounds whiny, but we think it right? Spend so much time thinking about the MORE we need, we seem hardpressed to embrace the WHAT we have, what we are.
Inside the talk was about "there are things you know, things you don't know and things you don't know you don't know." read that line a few times. let's get back to each other. it is a big one.
A simple night. A location. A potluck of snacks. A home made game. And conversation. A super genius cocktail that is.
It feels so good to be around love. You can get out of your head. Get into your heart. Community is essential.
Oh, we talked of the planet, the world. How we are all feeling these lightning bolts of energy. The Palin (all 6 of us wrote her name for celebrity...connectedness, i think so)
The times we are in are heartistically tricky. we really need more game nights. potlucking gatherings of conversation. we need to feel one with each other. now more than ever.
