Refuge

Friendship

A ruddy drop of manly blood
The surging sea outweighs,
The world uncertain comes and goes,
The lover rooted stays.
I fancied he was fled,
And, after many a year,
Glowed unexhausted kindliness
Like daily sunrise there.
My careful heart was free again, —
O friend, my bosom said,
Through thee alone the sky is arched,
Through thee the rose is red,
All things through thee take nobler form,
And look beyond the earth,
And is the mill-round of our fate
A sun-path in thy worth.
Me too thy nobleness has taught
To master my despair;
The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair.

Emerson


Refuge is a storygame. The story is about you, and those that play the game with you, and no one else. The game is not a challenge, and the only objective is to be closer to the people you're sharing this time with. This is a game about you, and those you play this game with, exploring a ruins of some kind. The Ruins are created and warmed by your imagination, the relationships present are strengthened and warmed by your conversation.
