The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

Eos Amaterasu: O oO0Oo!
oO0Oo Resident looks at Eos gently
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: Ah, finally: your body turned from gray to.... real :-)
Eos Amaterasu: How are you, Samuo?
oO0Oo Resident laughs... what does that question mean?
Eos Amaterasu: It's an inquiry into how you have constructed this temporary existence over the course of the last 4.5 billion years :-)
oO0Oo Resident: lol
oO0Oo Resident: and that figure changes too
Eos Amaterasu: the question is just an opening
Eos Amaterasu: Ah, it's colorful Lila
Eos Amaterasu: I could hear your heels clickety clacketing
Lila Darkmatter: :) yes funny shoes, nice to see you both (I'm eliza, Samuo ) )
oO0Oo Resident: hello Lila, I don't believe we have met. Nice to see you.
Eos Amaterasu: How are you, Lila?
Lila Darkmatter: my pleasure, very well and you?
Eos Amaterasu: well enough
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Lila Darkmatter: are you a friend of 7yo Bruce?
Eos Amaterasu: ¿
Eos Amaterasu: oh, the young Bruce?
Lila Darkmatter: yes
Eos Amaterasu: I think so... not an alt, just an appearance, of Bruce, yes?
Lila Darkmatter nods
Eos Amaterasu: I think his session earlier today really was amazing...
Lila Darkmatter clicks
Eos Amaterasu: how are you perhaps ~~= how are you being alive in your life
oO0Oo Resident: moment to moment
Eos Amaterasu: are there sometimes scary transitions?
oO0Oo Resident: are you asking or telling?
Eos Amaterasu: it may have been a leading question
Lila Darkmatter: alive in our lives, to our lives... nice question

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu had to deal with a question about AAA batteries while being alive in her life
Lila Darkmatter: did you have the answer?
Eos Amaterasu: we don't have any in the house far as I can tell....
Lila Darkmatter: today I was sitting in a park for a very short while, and this amazing gust of wind blew through... all the little oak leaves were rushing along the ground... through the sky....
Lila Darkmatter: and I kept thinking 'this is going to stop any second'
Lila Darkmatter: but it went on and on and on
Lila Darkmatter: Not sure what about batteries made me think of that... guess a sort of energy
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: It was a very clear day today, cold, below zero (deg C), crisp... I went on a short walk through the woods.... short vacation into 100% analog being
Eos Amaterasu: the curve of the path into the woods, sunlight slanting through trees
Eos Amaterasu: a squirrel with tail curled up its backbone, looking like a Mohawk :-)
Lila Darkmatter: :))
Eos Amaterasu: Little climb up the ridge of the hill, like spiney-backed dragon
Lila Darkmatter: :::takes a deep happy breath::::
Eos Amaterasu: little breath of "natural" being: being in nature is gentle lesson in how to be, how to be naturally
Eos Amaterasu: I walk through the triple point of ice/water/vapor, which is the zone of life
Eos Amaterasu: am lucky to get freshness through all senses
Eos Amaterasu: blues and greens and browns
Eos Amaterasu: soft earth and hard ice and edgy rock
Eos Amaterasu: sounds of birds stretch out space to where they originate from
Eos Amaterasu: heartbeat
Eos Amaterasu: sometimes heartstop on slipping ice :-)
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Eos Amaterasu is curious to see SophiaSharon's new take on retreat space
Lila Darkmatter considers retreating into nature renewing
Lila Darkmatter: and me too :) quite curious
Eos Amaterasu: retreating into a rotting log :-)
Lila Darkmatter: yes :)) life at many levels
Eos Amaterasu: "lie down like a rotting log" was a forest instruction we got last year at Windhorse Farm, Samuo

--BELL--

Lila Darkmatter wonders if samuo is with us or perhaps taking some winding internal path...
oO0Oo Resident: ^^
Lila Darkmatter: :)
oO0Oo Resident: with
Lila Darkmatter: glad
Eos Amaterasu: (oo0oo) ≠  (oO0Oo)
Lila Darkmatter looks for that sign on her keyboard... comes up empty ...
Eos Amaterasu: option-= on a Mac keyboard
Lila Darkmatter: alas
Eos Amaterasu wonders how Samuo types that name with proper accents
oO0Oo Resident: I don't need to really. One way for others... and with all unicode names in SL, is to open the person's profile and next to there name is a copy to clipboard button that will allow you to paste the proper characters of a person's name.

The log somewhat mangles Samuo's accents

Lila Darkmatter: Samúð (oo0oo)      
oO0Oo Resident: et voila!
Eos Amaterasu: Samúð (oo0oo)
Lila Darkmatter: nice trick :)
Lila Darkmatter: lovely quote by ~ W, too
oO0Oo Resident: lovely person
oO0Oo Resident: Stevenaia :) hello
stevenaia Michinaga: evening
Eos Amaterasu: W?
Lila Darkmatter: Hi Steve :)
stevenaia Michinaga: Hi Lila
Lila Darkmatter: from Samuo's 1st life profile quote
Eos Amaterasu: Hi stevenaia
stevenaia Michinaga: is there a topic?
Lila Darkmatter: hm... alive in nature perhaps
Eos Amaterasu: living in our life....
Lila Darkmatter: and for you?

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu recalls a favorite koan: what is the original topic off which we are digressing?
Lila Darkmatter: 'do you remember how you go here?'
Lila Darkmatter: *got
Eos Amaterasu: as far as I can recall I just found myself here ("here" being the first "here" I remember)
Lila Darkmatter: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I think Eos is shrinking
Eos Amaterasu has been wondering about the size diff
stevenaia Michinaga: :)

stevenaia Michinaga: I feel I am wondering around in part of a movie, "The Princess Bride" This is second time in two weeks that someone expressed to me their recently found true love of their spouse, in this case it was an 87 yr old friend who recently married his complanion of 30 years, she may be 30 yrs his jr, and marriage has been tranformative for him

Lila Darkmatter: and a new discovery after 30 years?
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, they have been together as a couple and decided to get married
stevenaia Michinaga: only them did he fall more deeply in love
stevenaia Michinaga: then
stevenaia Michinaga: similar to my friend I spoke to sam about in another session
stevenaia Michinaga: recently
stevenaia Michinaga: life can be everchanging and tranforming if you allow it to me
Eos Amaterasu loves typos :-)
oO0Oo Resident: like the love of a rotting log for the future forest
Lila Darkmatter: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm, that;s s tough one Sam
oO0Oo Resident: you're telling me it is
Eos Amaterasu: yes, recent realization re nature of true wealth -
Eos Amaterasu: it's not taking from the future (as bogus wealth does) - it's giving to the future
stevenaia Michinaga: the "what's important" question
Eos Amaterasu: the sustaining sustainable future
stevenaia Michinaga: awww
oO0Oo Resident: Hi dash
Dash Earthboy: hey y'all
Lila Darkmatter: Hi Dash :)
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Dash
Eos Amaterasu: have you been to Play as Being before?

Lila Darkmatter: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, he's been here
Eos Amaterasu listens to steve
stevenaia Michinaga: that's it
Dash Earthboy: yep
Dash Earthboy: short & sweet :)
Lila Darkmatter giggles thinking of children saying 'guess what.... that's what'
oO0Oo Resident: I hear you Steve
stevenaia Michinaga: giggles
Eos Amaterasu: say friend, and ye shall enter
stevenaia Michinaga: was I to say more?
Lila Darkmatter listens
stevenaia Michinaga: lol
Dash Earthboy: hehe
Eos Amaterasu: nevermore, quoth stevenaia
stevenaia Michinaga: seems I talk more when I'm tired
Eos Amaterasu: the brakes are weaker
Lila Darkmatter sings Steve a lullabye
stevenaia Michinaga: smiles
Lila Darkmatter listens...
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Dash Earthboy: it's the right time of the night, the stars are twinklin above...
stevenaia Michinaga: I've been having trouble being anonymous lately
Eos Amaterasu: you?
stevenaia Michinaga: giggles
oO0Oo Resident: I want to credit Torley Linden, who has made many great video tutorials about SL, from which I learned a lot, including the ability to write a resident's name, when there is unicode character encoding.
Dash Earthboy: i try to dress down before someone dresses me down :)

--BELL--

Lila Darkmatter thinks of all the videos she hasn't watched..
Lila Darkmatter: panics...
Lila Darkmatter: retreats to log
stevenaia Michinaga: Sam will teach us

Dash Earthboy: i was just making out my grocery list for shopping tomorrow and wanted to see what was happening here
Eos Amaterasu repeats to Lila, what Dash said: it's the right time of the night, the stars are twinklin above...
Lila Darkmatter sways and begins to drift...
Eos Amaterasu panics
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Dash Earthboy: slow dancin...swayin to the music
Dash Earthboy: johnny rivers
Eos Amaterasu: Lila will merge back into her nature
Lila Darkmatter: what dreams may come
Lila Darkmatter: Night Friends :)

Lila Darkmatter: thanks Samúð
Lila Darkmatter: Thanks Eos, Steve, Dash :)
Lila Darkmatter: NIght
Dash Earthboy: and then there were three
Dash Earthboy: i hope i find the kind of deals tomorrow i found last week
Dash Earthboy: would you believe a 3L bag of organic mushrooms for 99 cents?
Eos Amaterasu: hmm, not bad
Dash Earthboy: and we're talking short stems and caps the diameter of soup cans
oO0Oo Resident: good value
Dash Earthboy: normally that would have been about $10
Dash Earthboy: but I seem to find deals like that
Eos Amaterasu: you have to eat all that relatively soon, though, eh?
Dash Earthboy: yep
Dash Earthboy: been working on it since last Wed
Dash Earthboy: and hardly made a dent
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Dash Earthboy: put them in salads, omelets, burritos, on top of pizza...
Eos Amaterasu used to buy 55-gallon drums of maple syrup
Dash Earthboy: wow
Eos Amaterasu: (not just for me)
Dash Earthboy: for a restarant?
oO0Oo Resident: ;)
Eos Amaterasu: for a meditation center, for people who had just done two weeks of doing nothing :-)
Dash Earthboy: i just couldn't see paying $2 for a pint of smaller mushrooms that weren't organic either
Eos Amaterasu: and had a day off where they could make their own breakfast
Dash Earthboy: sounds good Eos
Eos Amaterasu: yum
Dash Earthboy: they might have enjoyed the gallon of mandarin oranges in syrup I found for $1.50
Dash Earthboy: those go great with rice all by themselves
Dash Earthboy: or granola
Eos Amaterasu: mandarin oranges on rice - never tried that
Dash Earthboy: i like to make exotic dishes
Dash Earthboy: with whatever i can find on sale
Dash Earthboy: the oranges go good in salads too
Dash Earthboy: altho i usually prefer apples with spinach
Eos Amaterasu: seems like an overflowing approach to life
Dash Earthboy: overflowing?
Eos Amaterasu: making abundance out of opportunistic happenstance
oO0Oo Resident: creative? appreciative?
Eos Amaterasu: yes, very much
Dash Earthboy: i have lived a good life, partly on a self-sufficient farm in TN
Eos Amaterasu: "the farm"?

--BELL--

Dash Earthboy: nature provided watercress, wild strawberries, black walnuts, sugar maples, sassafras, ginseng, deer, turkey, rabbits...
Dash Earthboy: all kinds of berries, wild cherries, apples...
Dash Earthboy: a good neighbor gave me milk & eggs in exchange for some of my bounty too
Dash Earthboy: i need to find that kind of community again
Dash Earthboy: sharing & helping each other
Dash Earthboy: and especially making music together
oO0Oo Resident: sounds really nice dash
oO0Oo Resident: full and rich and integrated, and caring
Dash Earthboy: my farm was a far piece from "The Farm" in TN near Nashville
Dash Earthboy: mine was over near North Carolina where they caught that bomber dude awhile back
Dash Earthboy: yes oOOOo, much nicer than my current residence
Eos Amaterasu: local value cycles... another part of the new (and very old) economy
Dash Earthboy: had four deputy cars out here in the cul-de-sac on Sunday
Eos Amaterasu: more of the rotting log giving rise to the forest
Dash Earthboy: nice imagery Eos
Dash Earthboy: as on my farm, here I only burn deadfall for warmth, not cutting down healthy trees
oO0Oo Resident thinks of an inspired dash cooking... dash of this...dash of that!
Eos Amaterasu: sometimes needs his friend Pinch
oO0Oo Resident: hehe
Dash Earthboy: well, my friends did give me that name for a reason i guess
Dash Earthboy: :)
Eos Amaterasu thinks of roadrunner cartoon characters
Dash Earthboy: hehe
Eos Amaterasu: Well, I need to dash off.... sleep beckons
Dash Earthboy: actually both my son and i ran cross-country in high school
Eos Amaterasu: thank you Samuo and Dash
Eos Amaterasu: good night!
