2009.06.20 19:00 - Steve is in the boat due to fiery feet

The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble subbing for Pema Pera who was sleeping innocently, preparing for a flight, unaware of the events about to take place--. The comments are by Adams Rubble--.

Eliza and I arrived early at the pavilion to make sure everything was OK. A number of sims were down and we thought we might need an alternate site. Everything was fine at the pavilioon, but, having arrived twenty minutes early, we had worked up a good amount of good natured silliness by the time the hour approached and we turned on the log.

Adams Rubble: Hi Eliza :)

Eliza Madrigal: Hola Adams :)
Adams Rubble: A butterfly dog ?
Adams Rubble: very cute
Eliza Madrigal: And why not?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Thank you.
Eliza Madrigal: A ship in the fountain?
Adams Rubble: as long as you have done your dog caterpillar time. hehe
Eliza Madrigal: yes I have broken through, and this is what the revelation looks like
Adams Rubble: The ship makes it easier to get across the fountain. one can sail
Adams Rubble wonders who is writing our material
Adams Rubble giggles
Eliza Madrigal: haha

Nine seconds doggie style

Adams Rubble: so have you done you 9 second stops between chasing cars
Eliza Madrigal: No, now I chase cars during the 9 seconds,
Eliza Madrigal: and stop the rest of the time
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: with your wings they don;t stand a chance
Eliza Madrigal: hehe...this is true, nearly caught one today
Adams Rubble: something tells me it is going to be hard to get a serious conversation going tonight

Steve arrives with his feet ablaze

Adams Rubble: Hi Steve
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Steve :)
stevenaia Michinaga: hello
Adams Rubble: Ohhh Steve
Adams Rubble giggles
Adams Rubble: get into the fountain quickly
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, hot foot
Eliza Madrigal: hahahaha
Adams Rubble looks for her hot dogs
stevenaia Michinaga: who's ship?
Adams Rubble: sorry Eliza, not you
Eliza Madrigal: OochOoch
Adams Rubble: It is mine Steve
Adams Rubble: saves time travelling across the fountain
Eliza Madrigal: my tail is going to catch fire any second
Eliza Madrigal: hahah

Steve tries to sit at the edge of the fountain but can only sit facing away from the water

stevenaia Michinaga: better?
Eliza Madrigal: Oh thank you. Whew
stevenaia Michinaga: awwww
Eliza Madrigal: feel better? hehe
Adams Rubble: hmmm. Steve it might be better if you faced the other direction
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble giggles

Steve gets into the fountain and sits on the ship

Adams Rubble: nice move Stteve :)
stevenaia Michinaga: this will work
Eliza Madrigal nods... a boat and chair in one
Adams Rubble: warning, I am taking photos :)
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Eliza Madrigal: how could one resist?
Adams Rubble: yes!
Adams Rubble: the flames are on one end of the ship and the smoke on the other
Eliza Madrigal: the water will boil any second

Steve bravely attempts a serious conversation and succeeds for a short time

stevenaia Michinaga: I was reading about Ray Bradbery this moring and about his amazing recall of events in his life
Eliza Madrigal: ah, there was a Times article
stevenaia Michinaga: including when he was born and in the womb
Eliza Madrigal: wow
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, about hsi support of libraries
stevenaia Michinaga: the other night Eos and I touched on what preceeds birth... given all the talk of life after death, forgetting about life before birth thoughts
Eliza Madrigal: So true... everyone fixates on 'after'
Adams Rubble: I wonder if we can truly remember
Eliza Madrigal: I don't remember much of my childhood so remembering birth seems a stretch
Adams Rubble: I have a memory from when I was six months though
Eliza Madrigal: early childhood that is
stevenaia Michinaga: seems they figure if it hasn't happened yet they can do something about it
stevenaia Michinaga: hard to "do something" about the past
Eliza Madrigal: that must be it... that we have some idea we can affect 'from here on out'
stevenaia Michinaga: yes affecting it jsut makes it happen, you can't change what hasn't happened yet anymore than you can change the past, ccept throught re-writing history
Adams Rubble: sometimes there are clues there
stevenaia Michinaga: clues?
Adams Rubble: clues to what we are now
Eliza Madrigal: I've heard though, past-life regressives say they believe seeing something 'before' helps us here which helps us going forward. There is some logic there.
stevenaia Michinaga: but we are what we are now
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Eliza Madrigal: It may just be seeing the sub-conscious in images/framework we relate to
Adams Rubble: I have learned quite a bit about myself in the past year and some of it from loking back
stevenaia Michinaga: looking back or looking forward doesn;t change either
Adams Rubble: less trying to change either than understanding...seeing my identities and attachments
Adams Rubble: It worked for me
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, true
Eliza Madrigal: I have had flashes of memories...mostly seemingly insignificant but warm ones like falling asleep watching the stars from the back of the car , etc :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: what a nice image
Eliza Madrigal: Funny thing, remembering these things feels like letting go of something
Eliza Madrigal: who knows what! :)
Adams Rubble: it is looking away from ourself
Adams Rubble: appreciating appearances
Eliza Madrigal nods... yes I guess images like that are almost universal
Adams Rubble: we did it as children
Adams Rubble: on the edge of sleep too
Adams Rubble: what a nice memory
Eliza Madrigal: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, seems the more you let go the more you have

Eliza informs us we are being watched and we start to get silly again :)

Eliza Madrigal: (My son is now looking at the screen...quite amused-heheh)
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble waves hi
stevenaia Michinaga: waves
Eliza Madrigal: He wants to know why we need another pile of pillows when we already have so many
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
Eliza Madrigal: what a child :)

Adams Rubble: This is our spiritual group meeting
Adams Rubble giggles
stevenaia Michinaga: pillow are stange, a cargo ship isn't....hmmmm
Adams Rubble: :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm explaining to him that Steve is in the boat due to fiery feet
Eliza Madrigal: :D Thank you
Adams Rubble: hahaha

stevenaia Michinaga: awwwww
Eliza Madrigal: Okay...he's wandered off. Funny :)
Eliza Madrigal: Speaking of childhood :)

Corvuscorva Nightfire: hygeine isn't as much of a problem.
