Cuddle Party

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes.  Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime.  So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace.  Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket.  A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner.  There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs.  A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper.  The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone.  There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity.  Come snuggle up!

In honor of the season, there is Pear Ginger Apple Cider mulling in a crock, a loaf of gingerbread on the platter, and many tins of holiday cookies.  The fruit bowl includes apples, pears, persimmons, and pomegranates.

"The House Behind the Gate"


The sky is clear and blue,
dotted with fluffy white clouds.

Below, the street is darker,
and shadows cling like cobwebs
to the leaves of the trees.

A single streetlamp
lifts the darkness a little,
and the windows of the houses
gleam with golden light.

Toward the middle of the block,
though, there stands a tall stone gate,
guarding the low wall that divides
the sidewalk from the yards.

In the house behind the gate,
there is no light at all.
