# 2019-08-22 - Cards For Connection by Erin the Connectress |
|
|
|
I went to Singing Alive Cascadia, a weekend-long festival about group |
|
singing. There i met a young woman who wore a rainbow dress, rainbow |
|
fanny pack, and she carried a rainbow bag. Her countenance was |
|
bouyant and we introduced ourselves. Her name is Erin the |
|
Connectress. |
|
|
|
Erin took a deck out of her bag and handed me a card. It read "When |
|
i was a child, i loved to play _____." I answered "with toys." She |
|
invited me to say more, so i described some characters i had |
|
imagined, the factions they formed, the conflicts they entered, etc. |
|
She told me to keep the card and share it. When i shared it with my |
|
partner, i learned something new and felt more connected. |
|
|
|
Erin created Cards For Connection and passed out individual cards as |
|
her business card. Erin said that she appreciated playing the game |
|
with older people because of how much they appreciate their childhood |
|
memories, and how their faces light up when talking about them. |
|
|
|
Throughout Singing Alive, Erin and i continued to cross paths. |
|
Wherever she went, she was spreading magic. She painted a rainbow on |
|
my face. She painted rainbows on many faces, each unique in some |
|
way. I must have seen a hundred other rainbow-painted people at |
|
meals, song circles, and in the campground. |
|
|
|
I had fun playing Cards For Connection. True to the name, i felt |
|
more connected, and i enthusiastically recommend booking Erin the |
|
Connectress for live events. |
