We were a dozen again in the cozy space called The Common Room. A slow start to the second Sunday of Konane, we filled with familiar faces and new variety of game boards. Two boards made of felt raised the funkiness level of the papamu (konane game boards), and a third simple canvas one just shows how basics can evolve.
More people have gathered their own li'i (black and white stone playing pieces). Yeh! Playing and strategies come with practice. Some of us are very strategic; some of us just like to take the next step and call it good. (what a strategy!)
Mara upgraded the quality of haupia with fresh coconut. Rather than the soupy version I cooked up using canned (but organic!) coconut milk, Konane II's haupia was firm, and delicious finger-food. Luau style.
We included three new players to the games; involved everyone in learning the opening 'oli E HO MAI; and generally got to know one another just a little bit more. Playing the game, talking story and enjoying the welcoming vibes of the space we can share in common: a fine way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Next month:
We gather again.

Hi Mokihana! I just realized how close we live (I'm in Vancouver). My partner has someone he wants to visit there. His mother is in South Seattle. Not sure when we will get there but hopefully we can meet in person one day! x
ReplyDeleteKash! What a fun and funny place to meet. Delighted to find your message and I will look forward to that day. Whidbey is closer to you in Vancouver than South Seattle. We are between the realms. Great treat to read your message. Thank you.
