Archmage Atlantis: Dropping into a moment of meditation is oft times difficult......Koya digs in her claws to hold on
oO0Oo Resident: tigers come up for me occasionally in meditation ;)
oO0Oo Resident: grab hold.. then dissolve
Archmage Atlantis: Many animals do that with me.....Koya is the only one who continues
stevenaia Michinaga: I recommend thicker clothing
Sylectra Darwin: sometimes I see structures, like garden walls I can peek out of.
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Luci

Archmage Atlantis: "Where Somthings Live" ......good title for a book for young folk
Lucinda Lavender: it has phantom walls so any one can visit
Sylectra Darwin: I am familiar with a box of rocks, but not a box of stars...
stevenaia Michinaga: often spends time on your box of stars

Lucinda Lavender: a short visit here has calmed me somewhat:)
oO0Oo Resident nods.. welcoming increases welcoming
Archmage Atlantis: agree
Lucinda Lavender: one of the days where making a mistake creates anxiety and then things slow way down
Lucinda Lavender: waiting for new information so can continue what I started
oO0Oo Resident: nice when anxiety can relax.. and obstacles shift to give a sense of free flow
Lucinda Lavender: right because in a short time it won't even matter
oO0Oo Resident grins.. yes

I had unfortunately fallen asleep as I feared I would - it had been a long day and my avatar was looking as pooped as my RL self felt.

stevenaia Michinaga: poor sylectra, all slumpted over
iwandertoo Resident: ...
oO0Oo Resident: not sure whether to offer tea, coffee or a blanket and pillow ;)
iwandertoo Resident: a good place to be slumped over
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
oO0Oo Resident grins .. nice Susan.. i feel the same
iwandertoo Resident: sometimes...most times i wish there were mats that we could have here that would allow us to lay back and look-up
iwandertoo Resident: there are rocks at a place called perfect paradise that allow something similar
stevenaia Michinaga: there is a way to use the pillows behind you, but it;s been a while
iwandertoo Resident: haha
stevenaia Michinaga: or not
oO0Oo Resident: i know SophiaSharon has a way of lying on her back... a pose/gesture sort of thing... and maybe with the grass on we could do it
oO0Oo Resident: and then also... you never know when Storm may see Susan's wish
iwandertoo Resident: yes...was thinking maybe of looking for an animation
iwandertoo Resident: no...pls no....
stevenaia Michinaga: I think it's a pose she must possess, I've seen boxy and some lions get comfortable here between the cushions
iwandertoo Resident: i can figure it out on my own
oO0Oo Resident: not to put you on the spot Susan... just appreciate the idea as well.. sounds nice looking together into the sky
iwandertoo Resident: checks for spots
iwandertoo Resident: :)
oO0Oo Resident grins ... the world can inherit meaningful things from you... i am sure of it
