home is where the heart is

Although I'm illuminated I remain in the dark
t'is because I cannot leave my heart
My heart hasn't left yet
That's why I don't return
I'm not willing to leave them behind.
That's why I don't return

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
please open the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The door is open,
but I'm thinking of them
and I hesitate to enter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I watched everything is illuminated with my father.
He decided he wants to learn.
I'm very happy.

puzzle, everything is illuminated is

Still no rejection. I read the first page of "everything is illuminated" by Foer, just before giving it to Y. for his birthday. (and then had to buy a copy for myself) Y. is the son of my friend and is the fastest player of Set I know of. He has a very high IQ, and I try to challenge him. I buy wooden puzzles and the question is how long it will take him to solve it. My sons are younger and follow in his footsteps. They like to do puzzles. I mean, thinking puzzles that you might find at www.denkspellen.nl or games like Tamsk ( by Burms). Abstract games and puzzles. He is very good at abstract games, but foreign language he fears. So I gave him "everything is illuminated" and said every page is a (verbal) puzzle.

*new* item at Chez Odile is the metachat where Creatives and Thinkers meet.
