Eos Amaterasu: Hi Freud
Freud Jungsten: osiyo
Eos Amaterasu: "I see you"?
Freud Jungsten smiles

--BELL--

Freud Jungsten: Hello...... in many Native American languages.
Freud Jungsten: Never been here for this session I don't think.
Freud Jungsten: Usually a good crowd?
Eos Amaterasu: It has varied all over
Eos Amaterasu: Last time I was the only one here for the entire hour
Eos Amaterasu: But that was pretty unusual
Freud Jungsten: Have a good chat with yourself?.... grins
Eos Amaterasu: Opportunity to stop chatting with myself
Eos Amaterasu: (that happens all the time anyway)
Freud Jungsten grins
Eos Amaterasu: How's Play as Being going?
Freud Jungsten: I am not one to judge.
Freud Jungsten: But seem to keep some lively discussions going.
Eos Amaterasu: How do you approach, for example, the 9 secs, or the 90 secs?
Freud Jungsten: If I started to type before the bell I finish.
Freud Jungsten: Not sure that is the right thing to do though.
Eos Amaterasu: How about we try something like, "whatever we notice after the bell, let it be & let it go as it goes"
Freud Jungsten: What does that mean?
Freud Jungsten: Sorry, my English is limited with that kind of language.
Eos Amaterasu: In the next 90 secs, after the bell has rung, if something comes up (thought, perception, memory, anticipation, fear, hope, boredom...).... let it be
Eos Amaterasu: don't pull toward you, don't push away from you
Freud Jungsten: OK.
Freud Jungsten: lol... so when is the next bell?
Eos Amaterasu: In 3 minutes
Freud Jungsten: ok
Eos Amaterasu: (that's a long time :-)
Freud Jungsten: lol
Freud Jungsten: I have to go here shortly
Eos Amaterasu: waiting patiently for the 90 second window into Being :-)
Freud Jungsten: Anything pressing you need to talk about?
Eos Amaterasu: Not really... just how to be
Freud Jungsten: OK.
Freud Jungsten: So on that note.... I need to go.
Eos Amaterasu: what do you find most intrguing, or compelling about
Freud Jungsten: about what?
Eos Amaterasu: Play as Being?
Eos Amaterasu: personally

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: How was that?
Freud Jungsten: lol,,, good I guess.
Freud Jungsten: What I find most intreguing?
Eos Amaterasu: What is for you the attraction of Play as Being?
Freud Jungsten: I like to hear the differnent points of view...
Freud Jungsten: But I find the dominance of well off white people in the group odd.
Freud Jungsten: OK.. have ot go now...
Freud Jungsten: Take care....sorry I can't stay.
Eos Amaterasu: Okay, thanks Freud, bye

Freud leaves

Pause...

Hana enters

Eos Amaterasu: Hi Hana
Hana Furlough: Hi Eos : )
Hana Furlough: How are you?
Eos Amaterasu: Pretty well... & you?
Hana Furlough: I'm good, but not sure why my av is incessantly typing
Hana Furlough: oh there she stopped
Eos Amaterasu: Are you still studying Japanese poets?
Hana Furlough: Yes for sure
Hana Furlough: also gardens recently
Hana Furlough: have you ever been to japan?

Eos Amaterasu: I was in Tokyo once around 1990....
Eos Amaterasu: I like the "scholar's garden" at the Met in NYC (Chinese Garden Court)
 Hana Furlough: oh yes! that is amazing! the light in there is incredible
Eos Amaterasu: I like the feeling there

--BELL--

Hana Furlough: yeah it's really special
Eos Amaterasu: Is that at all like the Japanese gardens?
Hana Furlough: in some ways, yes
Hana Furlough: but i'm working on dry landscape gardens
Hana Furlough: the kind that use rocks to represent waterfalls and such
Eos Amaterasu: still falling water
Hana Furlough: although, if i recall correctly, there were some decorative rocks in there, right?
Hana Furlough: yes!
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, there are some beautiful special rocks in the Scholar's Garden
Hana Furlough: are they the kind with the holes?
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Hana Furlough: those are really cool
Eos Amaterasu: they feel almost animate :-)
Hana Furlough: it's funny you say that...
Hana Furlough: they were written about in literature as though they were animate
Eos Amaterasu: Where are they found (originally)?
Hana Furlough: i think they were actually submerged in water with limestone to make the holes
Hana Furlough: for something like 100 years
Eos Amaterasu: Wow
Hana Furlough: yeah
Eos Amaterasu: Oh, I had thought they just found rocks like that
Hana Furlough: i think they were actually cultivated to be like that
Eos Amaterasu: so people get a relationship with them, over time
Hana Furlough: yes!
Eos Amaterasu: and the rock kind of grows up, gets old and wise :-)
Hana Furlough: if you read the works of pu songling, he writes about people who become obsessed with them
Hana Furlough: it's pretty crazy
Eos Amaterasu: What do you find interesting about them, & about the gardens?

Hana Furlough: well as you said the rocks have a definite personality
Hana Furlough: as for the gardens i work on, they are like poems in a sense
Hana Furlough: representations of koans
Hana Furlough: literature brought to life

Eos Amaterasu: !
Hana Furlough: what's not to love?
Hana Furlough: : )
Eos Amaterasu: Way cool!
Hana Furlough: yeah
Hana Furlough: it
Hana Furlough: 's pretty great
Eos Amaterasu: Are there some here in SL?
Hana Furlough: you know, i don't know
Hana Furlough: how would i find out?
Eos Amaterasu: Search... or build your own!
Hana Furlough: haha the former at least sounds possible
Hana Furlough: : )
Eos Amaterasu: Maybe you could do a theme session or something like that, on gardens as koans
Hana Furlough: yeah that would be really cool
Hana Furlough: i need to read up a little more on that, though, since i'm just getting started
Hana Furlough: but it's excited
Hana Furlough: muso (my zen monk) has a whole section on designing gardens as an expression of the enlightened mind
Hana Furlough: it's far out
Eos Amaterasu likes the idea of reaching highest perfect enlightenment through a garden :-)
Hana Furlough: i know, right?!
Hana Furlough: it's good stuff : )
Eos Amaterasu: That's great. Relating to your mind and nature of mind through a physical space, that you also tend and culivate, I suppose
Hana Furlough: yeah i think that was the idea
Hana Furlough: and many aspects were highly symbolic
Hana Furlough: it's very different from what we're used to

--BELL--

Hana Furlough: on the subject of scholar's rocks 
Eos Amaterasu: thanks
Eos Amaterasu: Do you have a plot in the PaB village here?
Hana Furlough: no.... i'm woefully inept at SL
Hana Furlough: i don't even know where the PaB village is :(
Eos Amaterasu: Oh, it's all around here....
Hana Furlough: so if i just stood up and wandered around, i would find it?
Eos Amaterasu: I think mainly to my left
Hana Furlough: ok great
Hana Furlough: i'll take a little stroll later :)
Eos Amaterasu: It's changed a litte... the Guardian Hall is now right near, behind me
Hana Furlough: there's a guardian hall?
Hana Furlough: gosh i really should get out a bit more...
Eos Amaterasu: Yes
Eos Amaterasu: Do you want to walk around now - I could show you....
Hana Furlough: that would be awesome
Hana Furlough: if you don't mind
Eos Amaterasu: Maybe first the hall....
Hana Furlough: ok great
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Brian
Hana Furlough: hello brian
Brian Roop: i hope you don't mind, i overheard you, may i join the tour?
