electricity.
the power went out
just before our dinner party
so we had it anyway
candlelight, a warm fire, and great friends made it even better.
“what is a soul? it’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.”

a day late and a trifle short.
imagine my surprise
when i found out
that the party i was going to tonight
at my sweet irish friend’s house
had already happened last night
and
when i stopped over today
it looked like
a great time was had by everyone
especially those who were there on the right night.
i think this may have been a trifle.

puzzled.
headed off to the puzzle house
to try out an ‘escape room adventure’
just going in was a bit scary
and i thought
we might have to escape right away
but
eight of us
ventured in
and
read a story
memorized details
then used
codes that we had to translate and crack
black lights
a laser
a microscope
a tangram puzzle
a piñata head
hidden and found things
boxes
math
logic
wild guesses
opinions
ideas
sweat
spiders
stars
moons
crystals
locks
a lot of darkness
and a little bit of wit
we had one hour and made it through two rooms
never got into the third
but
what an adventure
and
eight of us ventured back out.

this quiet little one
reached out
and
took another’s hand.
