2010.01.15 19:00 - Metta

Gaya stood in for genesis.

I sat alone for a little while. Soon Dakini and Fox joined me.

Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Dakini :)
Gaya Ethaniel: How have you been?
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Fox :)
Dakini Rhode: RL or SL?
Fox Monacular: Hi Gaya, hi Dakini
Gaya Ethaniel: Whatever you feel comfortable talking about Dakini :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Hope RL is settled at any rate.
Fox Monacular: my internet is very slow tonight, so I apologize in advance if I take too long to answer
Dakini Rhode: 2009 was an amazing year, and I truly hope this year is less eventful :)
Gaya Ethaniel: np Fox :)
Gaya Ethaniel nods @ Dakini :)
Gaya Ethaniel: It's good to see you both, I haven't seen either of you for a while.
Fox Monacular: :) good to see you too! I din't have much time to go to SL these days...
Gaya Ethaniel: I heard RL is a bit busy for you at the moment Fox. It happens :)
Dakini Rhode: the feeling is mutual... I haven't been in SL much lately, and I'm beginning to miss everyone
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Fox Monacular: yes, very busy:)!
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Fox Monacular: moving in 2 weeks... husband finishing thesis...
Gaya Ethaniel: wow sounds busy indeed!
Gaya Ethaniel: 90 second pause is coming up, do you have anything you want to try together?
Dakini Rhode: would you have a suggestion Gaya?
Gaya Ethaniel: mm ... I was just going to practice metta if no particular suggestion :)
Dakini Rhode: i think that's perfect :)
Fox Monacular: metta sounds fine
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Fox Monacular: you know this will probably be the first time since this morning that I can just 'be' for 90 sec
Gaya Ethaniel: wow, enjoy it Fox!
Dakini Rhode: :)

--BELL--

Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Dakini Rhode: =^=
Dakini Rhode: I didn't want to stop...
Gaya Ethaniel thought again a bit about people in Haiti at the end ...
Gaya Ethaniel: I know what you mean Dakini :)
Fox Monacular: I had a nightmare on the night of 13th... about Haiti
Fox Monacular: I had a lot of trouble relaxing during the 90 sec... I guess it's all the fatigue:(
Gaya Ethaniel: It takes a bit to relax I'm sure ... shall we take some time to sit quiet until the bell and go into the pause?
Dakini Rhode: i would like that very much, Gaya
Fox Monacular: sounds good
Gaya Ethaniel: :)

[We paused around 20 minute past here]

--BELL--

Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Dakini Rhode: i'm grateful for friends i've never met who are willing to spend time just sitting "together"
Gaya Ethaniel: Yes, thank you :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Sitting together is nice ... encouraging also for me.
Gaya Ethaniel: Even through SL, I think presence can be felt.
Dakini Rhode: o i think so :)
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Dakini Rhode: watching your shoulder pet, i have a RL pet on my lap :)
Gaya Ethaniel: heh :)
Dakini Rhode: i need to be on my way now, thank you for sharing this quiet time :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Thank you for joining me. Take care Dakini :)

Fox's Internet connection is troublesome tonight. She was able to return just before the end of the hour.

Fox Monacular: oh my... i'm so sorry, gaya, my sl was frozen and I didn't realize I was still online:)
