Eliza Madrigal: It was great fun
Eos Amaterasu: eat your words :-)
Eliza Madrigal: Hm, my lines are reversed to my sight, not sure if to others
Eliza Madrigal: hah, yes
Eos Amaterasu: ¿
oO0Oo Resident: not sure what you mean Eliza..
oO0Oo Resident: RE: your lines
Eliza Madrigal: I wrote a long sentence which took two lines but to my sight they came out of order
Eliza Madrigal: so I hope it made sense :)
Eos Amaterasu: oh, yes
Eos Amaterasu: lag playing tricks
Eliza Madrigal: yes
oO0Oo Resident: ah, yes.. happens also to me sometimes
Eliza Madrigal: but it was an odd conversation because it took place at various levels jumping back and forth at once... notice some do that
Eliza Madrigal: (sessions)
oO0Oo Resident nods
Eos Amaterasu: any levels anyone want to open up?
Eliza Madrigal: Well, hm... what I noticed later, after that, was that a conversation with someone took place at surface and deep levels, skipping a lot of others
Eliza Madrigal: had never seen how some do that before, and helped me explain why this person, an elder, and I, have such an odd dynamic
Eliza Madrigal: but peaceful one :)
Eliza Madrigal: we both somewhere, agreed to skip the middle
Eliza Madrigal: hahah
Hokon Cazalet: =)

Dorje Radium: Very nice... Ty
Whispr Xue: but do you really have to 'go out into the world' or can you experience the moments, exactly where you are... regardless?

Eos Amaterasu: you might need to go out to realize that :-)
Dorje Radium: how can one not experience... exactly where you are... smiles~
Ewan Bonham: If you have the answer to that question...then life as we know it is over...:))
oO0Oo Resident smiles... wow
Eliza Madrigal: its a nice feeling, to go far away and delight in every step, then also be happy to arrive back to simpler things delighting in those too

Alfred Kelberry: pema-san :)
Eos Amaterasu: seems like we could be golfing
oO0Oo Resident: I feel lovingly touched
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Pema :)
Alfred Kelberry: glad you made it, pema :)
Ewan Bonham: Hi Pema

oO0Oo Resident: ah see see
Pema Pera: but glad to be here!
oO0Oo Resident: ;)
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Pema Pera: it was odd being out of internet contact for a week last week
Pema Pera: so I'm now charging up again :-)
Eos Amaterasu: Was that the longest sans internet in a while?
Alfred Kelberry: pema, there really was no internet access?
Whispr Xue: It's funny how how beging to depend on things, so quickly
Eliza Madrigal: we were talking about being at home in every moment I think... wherever we are/go.. even offline I guess :)
Pema Pera: yes, I called it "RL immersion"
Eliza Madrigal: heheh
Pema Pera: Italy is not as connected as Northern Europe, it seems
Eliza Madrigal: they are too busy eating well?
Eos Amaterasu: it kind of sticks out
Pema Pera: and yes, Eos, the longest in I think six years or more
Ewan Bonham: smile
Dorje Radium: Some might suggest we are sometimes faar from reality... it is imposible actually.... only possible to believe in the false misconception that we are disconnected... smiles
Pema Pera: YES -> eating
Whispr Xue: But there are other beauties besides internet in Italy
Alfred Kelberry: i can't recall when i was without the net for that long
Pema Pera: it was a great experience in itself -- the only problem was the aftereffect of having to wade through so many hundreds of emails . . . .
Pema Pera: will still take another four days or more
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Alfred Kelberry: hopefully, you have a good spam filter :)
Ewan Bonham: Which leads tome wondering...how many of those emails am I really attached to?
Whispr Xue: ouch
Whispr Xue: That is a lot of emails
Alfred Kelberry: reminders from the past
Whispr Xue: or heralding the future..
oO0Oo Resident: if we all send pema a few dozen convivial ones, he'll have a high percentage of nice experiences... [i believe his kind suggestion for Wol once]
Alfred Kelberry: yes, transition point :)
Pema Pera: hahaha
Dorje Radium: emails... smiles... myriad codes with conceptual constructs seen as a digital display
Pema Pera: yes, never make jokes that can boomerang
Eliza Madrigal: :)))
Eos Amaterasu tries to think of boomerang jokes
Eos Amaterasu recalls a boomerang song
Whispr Xue likes boomerangs... allows you to 'try again'
Eos Amaterasu: if we let go, will we come back?
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eos Amaterasu: let's try (upcoming 90 secs)
Ewan Bonham: Smile...Whispr..
oO0Oo Resident smiles
Pema Pera: sorry, have to leave now
Hokon Cazalet: back

--BELL--

Hokon Cazalet: aw
Pema Pera: back soonish!
Hokon Cazalet: bye pema
Eos Amaterasu: ~~
Ewan Bonham: bye Pema
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: that is the friendliest 'ding' at the pause's boundary
Dorje Radium: /*_*\
Eos Amaterasu: it has a sense of being but the latest ripple of the opening ding
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eos Amaterasu likes to walk through the Dingle
oO0Oo Resident: and kindness rings out
Eos Amaterasu: it does not fight this world
oO0Oo Resident throws boomerang of kindness intention
Eliza Madrigal feels encompassed and encircled
Dorje Radium: remember that nice warm feeling when someone loving gave you a back rub... or a foot rub? Nice huh?
Whispr Xue: The world is a patient creation that doesn't usually fight... merely waits until we realize we need to adjust our behaviours
Eliza Madrigal: nice image... patient world
Whispr Xue: in the face of something larger than ourselves
oO0Oo Resident feels the grass on bare toes, and is glad dorje and whispr came by
Whispr Xue: mmmmm... remembers the feel of spring grass between her toes... and warm sand... nice feelings
Dorje Radium: as I too am grateful. Warm feelings... mud luscious toes... rainbows and starshine... thoughts... another kind of now... just as powerful
Whispr Xue: I'm appreciative for being invited to experience your circle 8)
Eos Amaterasu: thank you: it is yours as well :-)
Eliza Madrigal: yes :))
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Whispr Xue: Another nice feeling ... thank you 8)
Dorje Radium: The karmic imprint of a thought of warmth is almost exactly the same as this 3D dream we call reality... smilesthe same
Eliza Madrigal suddenly sleepy and thinks of the feeling of warm sheets... thanks everyone :)
Dorje Radium: Ty Eliza
Eos Amaterasu: sounds nice, 'night, eliza
Whispr Xue tucks Eliza in
Eliza Madrigal: Night :) And thank you :)
oO0Oo Resident envisions Eliza encircled and deeply resting
