Fire, Earth, Water, Air - II

I had another dream about the elements of earth…

I was playing an amazing civilization building game (like Settlers of Catan or Sid Meier’s Civ) with “generic” friends. There was a tiled board with different types of terrain and we were all drawing cards from a specialized deck of natural resources. As various cards were played, we flipped over two-toned pebbles that were in front of each person.

I had a big pile of deep blue/blue pebbles, which symbolized water cards…. quite a few aquamarine/light green pebbles for air…. and a couple red/tan rocks which alternated between fire and earth depending on which side was up. The game was extremely tranquil and relaxing. Nobody won or lost (unlike the fine game of Hearts where you get to stick someone with Slippery Liz)… everyone was very content and tranquil. I would have loved to keep playing it.

I was stuck with Slippery Liz for a spell. She was awesome. I aspire to being a generic friend.

"Generic friends"...that sounds like something NJM would say about us, right Generation Bob? Oh wait...we're "generic acquaintances"....
