The Guardian for this meeting was Calvino Rabeni. The comments are by Calvino Rabeni.

Rhiannon Dragoone: Hi Cal!
Rhiannon Dragoone: How are You doing?
Calvino Rabeni: Good evening, Rhia !
Calvino Rabeni: Doing well, enjoying the feeling of after a good nature hike
Calvino Rabeni: And getting back to where smartphones work better than paperweights
Calvino Rabeni: Although I have used it for that purpose
Calvino Rabeni: How about yourself ?
Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, yeah. Always good. I'm taking a break from writing. But it's one of those things that when the spirit moves you, you move. So I may log abruptly.
Calvino Rabeni: if something that might become a word or sentence comes around, you may abruptly set off in pursuit .. I understand
Rhiannon Dragoone: Yeah. Just did, as a matter of fact. Not son's I had to light, but That's why I was slow in responding to you.
Calvino Rabeni wonders what Rhia is writing
--BELL--

Rhiannon Dragoone: It's a story set against a background that I've used UN many of my stories.
Rhiannon Dragoone: Right now the queen of New Fairy is tracking its Sheriff, as his wife suspects him of infidelity.
Calvino Rabeni: The interesting thing to me, is what it is like to create a fictional alternative world that is the setting for a variety of coherent stories. How it develops over time.
Calvino Rabeni: Good evening, Cinda !
Lucinda Lavender: good evening cal and Rhi...

Paradise Tennant: smiles was standing in a kitchen not my kitchen a different kitchen in my pjs making coffee see a helicopter crash into a building burst into flames just outside

stevenaia Michinaga: bye Cal
Paradise Tennant: run outside with them both in my hands
Paradise Tennant: find the helicopter upside down on my lawn
Paradise Tennant: a man and his sone crawling out but no flames
--BELL--

Paradise Tennant: he is annoyed with me rushing up as though there is trouble acts like it is normal to land a helicopter upside down I look back and instead of a lawn and porch I ran off of it looks like I came down a very steep rocky face of a cliff
Paradise Tennant: I look down at myself and I am scratch and scraped as though I tumbled the whole way
Paradise Tennant: he and his 9 year old son .. nod and walk off
Paradise Tennant: I stand there holding my fire extinguisher and feel perplexed
Paradise Tennant: like the world is shifting around me and I cannot keep it straight :)
Lucinda Lavender: 9 is the principle of Awareness. The Pardoxical Realms and the pancreas...the color yellow to peridot...
stevenaia Michinaga: 9?
Lucinda Lavender: Steve I have a way of looking at the dreams and when certain things show up in the dream I can see where it shows up in a grand scheme of things:)
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Lucinda Lavender: I was looking at the number 9 since it showed up
Lucinda Lavender: number
Paradise Tennant: yes strange how I knew he was nine years old looking at him
stevenaia Michinaga: I missed that
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks
Lucinda Lavender: interesting too that you were perplexed and 9 is about Paradoxical realms
Lucinda Lavender: Luci looks into a book:)
Paradise Tennant: well I ran out barefoot over grass toward a flame engulfed helicopter but when i go there no flames .. and it looks like a slid down a 200 foot cliff
Lucinda Lavender: Paradise there are 3of planets in Taurus an earth sign today...Mercury at 10.. Venus at 8 and Mars at 8... mars
Lucinda Lavender: Mercury the mental body, Venus the emotional body, and Mars the physical body
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: sliding down a cliff sounds related
Lucinda Lavender: to the earth
Lucinda Lavender: where the three bodies...each personal are conjunct
Lucinda Lavender: this I realize is perhaps esoteric sounding...
Lucinda Lavender: but it happens that certain dream themes come about...and when they seem unexpected and intense I look to the personal planets...
Lucinda Lavender: please feel free to pass right by my noticings:)
Paradise Tennant: smiles :)
Paradise Tennant: thank you
Malinson Bloobury: hi all
Paradise Tennant: hello malinson ..sorry I did not see you come in :)
Malinson Bloobury: hi
Lucinda Lavender: smetimes one might dream in to someone elses world...
Paradise Tennant: a shared dream
stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm,
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: When there is a hollywood feel then sometimes it could apply to a broad expanse of the culture
stevenaia Michinaga: like Arnold's affair in the news
Lucinda Lavender: oh right!
Lucinda Lavender: the theme of bridging might be present too...
Lucinda Lavender: you could remove the word need...and just say they can see...:)
Paradise Tennant: amazing how easy and confortable it can feel in dreams to be in situations which in rl would cause consternation
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps because there are few outside influences in dreams
Lucinda Lavender: or like there is no obstacle ...yes
Lucinda Lavender: lots of potential available
stevenaia Michinaga: Bed time for me
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks lucinda
