Quick visit to TO yesterday to spend some time with Sarah and Mike.
So after having a delicious East Indian mid afternoon meal and visiting LUSH for my fill-up...we spent the evening in the dark..playing 'Quizzler' by candlelight...watching all the Mississauga condo's switching off floors of lights ...for the hour of less electricity use.
People were switching off the lights...one condo at a time...until only a couple of units remained.
We could make out flashlights glowing here and there throughout the blackened night.
It became a quiet communication of sorts, shared with many anonymous souls...towards 1 quiet cause.
Don't get me wrong there were still lots of lights on...yet enough were off to make a statement of solidarity.
Sarah said it best though, that going without...(power) created other stronger links between humans sharing the quiet space......as there were no diversions nor attention seekers... only the folks you were with.So after having a delicious East Indian mid afternoon meal and visiting LUSH for my fill-up...we spent the evening in the dark..playing 'Quizzler' by candlelight...watching all the Mississauga condo's switching off floors of lights ...for the hour of less electricity use.

A pause to consider.. many things.
ie: is learning a new card game while unable to interpret the written instructions clearly, best played in the dark??? hmmm
