Eos Amaterasu: Hi Bene

--BELL--

Benedizione Vita: hello eos

Eos Amaterasu: How is your evening, Benedizione?

Benedizione Vita: pretty good, Eos, thanks

Benedizione Vita: heading out in a minute, but wanted to pop in and say hello

Benedizione Vita: hello Pema

Eos Amaterasu: the year of the metal whtie tiger is upon us

Pema Pera: hi Eoas, Arch, Bene!

Benedizione Vita: metal white tiger?

Eos Amaterasu: Hi Pema, Arch

Eos Amaterasu: The Chinese New Year

Archmage Atlantis: smiles

Benedizione Vita: but metal...?

Benedizione Vita: and white...?

Eos Amaterasu: they go in cycles of elements: earth, water, fire, air, metal x 12 animals = 60-year cycles

Archmage Atlantis: Hey, don't diss my family *g*

Eos Amaterasu: don't know about the white tiger aspect

Pema Pera: hi Eliza!

Eos Amaterasu: Hi Eliza

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Pema, Eos, Bene, Arch :)

Benedizione Vita: what about the colors?

Archmage Atlantis: Hola Eliza

Eos Amaterasu: I don't know the details of the system

Eos Amaterasu: Been looking at lots of tiger pictures on the web

Archmage Atlantis: Good topic, systems of thought

Eos Amaterasu: It's Eden!

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Eden! :)

Eos Amaterasu: 17 syllables coming soon!

Eden Haiku: Hi Eliza!

Eliza Madrigal: haha

Pema Pera: hi Eden!

Eliza Madrigal smiles. Are you in the same spot...? Where they vacuum?

Eos Amaterasu: Eden was in a bubble, with pink sandals, ..... :-)

Eliza Madrigal: :))

Eden Haiku: Dancing on the rooftop/

Archmage Atlantis: Eden of the 17, belongs amoung us, did I count that right

Benedizione Vita: 17 syllables?

Eden Haiku: No in Delhi now. Chennai tomorrow.

Eden Haiku: Was starting one haiku Bene

Pema Pera: wish we could all teleport to join you for a while . . . .

Benedizione Vita: I see, thanks Eden

Eden Haiku: Yeah do!

Eden Haiku: Are you on vacation Pema?

Pema Pera: Yes, this is Delhi / here today, gone tomorrow / Chennai beckoning

Eden Haiku: Hey hey!

Pema Pera: no, for work (but what's the difference?), in Japan again for just one week

Eden Haiku: I admire your coolness with jet lag...

Pema Pera: sleeping a lot helps, and not hurrying -- giving your body the time to adjust

Eden Haiku: Yesterday I committed to do the 9 secs and forgot as soon as the 3rd one or so

Eliza Madrigal: I'm sure the surroundings are compelling :)

Benedizione Vita: then tomorrow I suggest committing to four tomorrow, eden, and working your way up :)

Eden Haiku: Kind of ...

Eden Haiku: Yes today I go for 4!

Eliza Madrigal: :)

Pema Pera: :)

Benedizione Vita: no joke, I always find it very helpful to put precise prescriptions on commitments, so that I can make sure they are fulfilled

Archmage Atlantis: Sometimes it is possible to do 9 seconds, or an hour, without realizing it till after, imho

Eden Haiku: Maybe everytime someone asks me where I'm from...

Eliza Madrigal: hah, yes like a magic word

Eos Amaterasu: let things play tricks for you

Eos Amaterasu: Constantinople

Eliza Madrigal: hahah

Benedizione Vita: this might seem odd, but how abou every time you need to use the restroom?

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: (that was the magic word in Curse of the Jade Scorpion)

Eden Haiku: Dancing on rooftop/Listening to "psychic city"/My own Bollywood

Archmage Atlantis: The restrooms in Constantinople?

Benedizione Vita: or every time someone mentions the olympics

Eos Amaterasu: :-)

Eos Amaterasu: Nice, Eden

Eliza Madrigal: :)

Benedizione Vita: speaking of playing as being ;)

Pema Pera: very nice indeed!

Eos Amaterasu: peeking into Eden's movie

Archmage Atlantis: Or being as play

Eden Haiku: Should see the shiny pink sandals designed for traveling light Eos!

Eos Amaterasu: every time hand meets door handle

Eliza Madrigal: :)

Eos Amaterasu: (don't leave home without them :-)

Archmage Atlantis: Shiny pink sandals - finally, faster than light travel is possible

Eos Amaterasu boggles

Eden Haiku: Winds of the mind are so changing, shifting all the time isn'it?

Eos Amaterasu: ride the sailboat of the 9 seconds :-)

Benedizione Vita: time for bene to split--goodnight, all :)

Eden Haiku: Nice

Eos Amaterasu: Good night, Bene

Eliza Madrigal: Nite Bene :)

Pema Pera: goodnight, Bene!

Eden Haiku: Goodbie

Archmage Atlantis: Night

Pema Pera: it may be difficult to answer, Eden, but is there anything so far in your travel that has been especially unexpected?

Pema Pera: or different from your ideas beforehand?

Archmage Atlantis: Like seeing Avatar in Hindi?

Pema Pera: :)

Eliza Madrigal: (hopes Eden isn't stuck)

Eden Haiku: Hum. It is my 3rd time in India. I spent almost 2 years here a long time ago. Every time is so different. I am different. This is the unexpected part.

Pema Pera: (it may be a certain kind of nothingness she found . . . .)

Pema Pera: yes, we always change ourselves too

Pema Pera: hard to disentangle

Archmage Atlantis: No reason to do so that I see, Pema, to disentangle that is

Eden Haiku: Last time I was not in an ashram, traveling by myself. Lots of fear then. Not now. Still anger sometimes

Archmage Atlantis: Life is not a chemistry lab

Archmage Atlantis: Anger.. interesting

Eos Amaterasu: You're travelling by yourself now?

Eden Haiku: I am yes hence the little rooftop dance...

Eos Amaterasu: :-)

Eos Amaterasu: things around you are pretending they are not a dance, but you know better?

Eliza Madrigal: I have to apologize and pull myself away.... very sleepy... Nice to See you Eden, Pema, Eos, Arch... Nite :))

Pema Pera: night, Eliza!

Eos Amaterasu: zzzz, E

Archmage Atlantis: Night , Eliza

Eden Haiku: Was in Varanasi with a friend but he went to Jaipur and i am off to the South for a conference. Bye Eliza!

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: But enough of me, are you guys still glowing from Malta retreat?

Pema Pera: I would say so, yes :) We had ten theme sessions in which we reported our experiences, one by one

Eos Amaterasu: re-entry from Malta retreat, in the form of 10 theme sessions on Malta, glowed brightly

Eos Amaterasu: :-)

Pema Pera: http://playasbeing.wik.is/PaB_Theme_Sessions

Archmage Atlantis: Time to go for me..thank you all for the company of being, nite Eden, Eos, Pema

Eden Haiku: Yes I was able to read some of them, it is so amazing

Eos Amaterasu: Night, Arch!

Pema Pera: http://playasbeing.wik.is/PaB_Theme_Sessions

Eos Amaterasu: Urban retreat in San Francisco coming up

Eos Amaterasu: RL PaB gives new life to SL PaB; it becomes a new investigation, deepened

Eden Haiku: Silence feels so strange with no visuals nor sounds..

Eos Amaterasu: and then SL PaB provides continuity till next RL PaB

Eos Amaterasu: just a promise of presence on the other end?

Pema Pera: yes, it feels like a whole new phase in PaB exploration, to have the mix of RL and SL

Eos Amaterasu: in a way it makes us discover the unique way(s) SL contributes to this, uncovers us, uncovers being

Eos Amaterasu: (Eden popped, I think)

Pema Pera: seems that way, yes

Pema Pera: wb Eden!

Eos Amaterasu: the cloud is back!

Eden Haiku: Am I always a cloud? Some people can see me I think

Eos Amaterasu: I only see a cloud

Pema Pera: ah, so it depends on the seer not the seen :-)

Eos Amaterasu: Are you using Sparkle or something like that?

Eden Haiku: Yes thanks to you Eos! You mentioned it and i downloaded it on my iPod Touch

Pema Pera: it must be rather early in the morning for you, Eden, did I guess that right?

Eos Amaterasu: Now Paradise joins Eden :-)

Pema Pera: :-)

Pema Pera: hi Paradise!

Eden Haiku: Yes 9 in morning

Paradise Tennant: smiles hiya eden , eos , pema :)

Pema Pera: 1 pm almost here in Japan

Eos Amaterasu: I was imagining an iPhone app: you click it when going into a 9-secs, and it tells you who else has just clicked for that 9 secs

Eden Haiku: Sparkle has a case of echolalia sometimes...

Eos Amaterasu: sometimes.... sometimes....

Paradise Tennant: :)

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: The 3 of you were in Malta

Pema Pera: and then people can spend their 9 secs twittering to each other if they secretly feel like? (^_^)

Pema Pera: yes, we were, Eden!

Pema Pera: and we missed you!

Eos Amaterasu: heh heh

Pema Pera: after you had first considered joining us too

Eos Amaterasu: Maybe it's not too late to make up Malta T-shirts... do you know how to make T-shirts, Paradise?

Pema Pera: maybe it is too early . . . .

Paradise Tennant: lol

Pema Pera: given our next Malta retreat coming up!

Paradise Tennant: I suspect I could arrange that ..

Eos Amaterasu: We need a design....

Paradise Tennant: what would be the logo?

Eos Amaterasu is partial to almond cookies....

Eos Amaterasu: :-)

Paradise Tennant: )

Eos Amaterasu: Maybe a satellite shot of the island?

Eos Amaterasu: Or, photo of Point de Vue, crossed out?

Paradise Tennant: or the lily blossom with the quote framed on the wall :)

Paradise Tennant: such a lovely quote

Pema Pera: or the retreat place pictured as a floating sky box?

Pema Pera: yes, wonderful quote

Eos Amaterasu: "Beyond the beliefs / of any one religion / there is the truth of /the human spirit"

Eos Amaterasu: Happy Metal Tiger year, btw!

Paradise Tennant: smiles

Paradise Tennant: yes

Paradise Tennant: how have you been eos - settling back in to regular day life :) after a trip I always feel .. a little different somehow

Eos Amaterasu: My little 3-week gap is about to end. I get back to work Monday....

Paradise Tennant: ah

Paradise Tennant: but so nice to have had the gap ..just think of how many 9 secs there were :)

Eos Amaterasu: now I know how many 9-sec holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

Paradise Tennant: :)

Eos Amaterasu: that gap just drops you into something that now feels like another gap as well....

Eos Amaterasu: that's what you were saying?

Paradise Tennant: yes

Eos Amaterasu: speaking of gap, returning to RL....

Paradise Tennant: kk

Eos Amaterasu: 'night, Para

Paradise Tennant: have a good night eos :)

Eos Amaterasu: (don't forget about the t-shirt :-)
