a picture of our black and white dog Bean sitting on a chair watching us play a board game called Qwirkle. the tiles feature various shapes (circles, stars, diamonds, etc.) and colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). the game involves matching these tiles by either color or shape in lines or columns to score points. on the table is a glass, a cell phone and a score pad.

our Bean always loved supervising our games. now she is old and has health issues and can no longer climb on a chair, but she lays on her bed next to the table when we play.

Neue Variante #homoludens #quirkle

A handwritten list in black ink on a purple sticky note, held by my fingers (that is an invitation to think and consider the list before speaking) which says: ??? * helpful * true * valuable * wise * beneficial * kind * useful * free from agitation * contributing to inner peace * contributing to just community List (minus last point) was shared with me by my teacher Kaya Mindlin, of Yoga with Kaya, in a recent email blast on how to work with the auspicious energy of this New Moon, per the Vedic Astrology tradition- Jyotisha

An image of the game “Quirkle” being played on a table- Various black wooden tiles with shapes of 6 rainbow colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple- with various symbols on them - circles, clovers, diamonds, starbursts, squares, and a jack-type shape (four diamond like points emanating out from the center). A white bag with red writing that says quirkle. And a tile board with 4 tiles on it. My partner sits in the background on a couch with their feet up on an ottoman

A sleeping yellow lab type dog, named Christmas Tree aka Mossy, resting with her head pressed toward a blanket, paws stacked, eyes closed. Pink nose with a white patch around it, freckle like spots, a white stripe that goes between her eyes up to the top of her head. White neck, chest and belly with blonde yellow fur all around. My hand resting on her shoulder.
