iwandertoo Resident: (brb)

Eos Amaterasu: I was in a kayak for a while today, in a very still environment, although with sun and clouds and weather and waves and bird sounds

Eos Amaterasu: very refreshing

iwandertoo Resident: imagine so

Eos Amaterasu: some sense of aliveness in that, and freshness, refreshing

Rhiannon Dragoone: yes, I went river rafting once, and It is very relaxing

Eos Amaterasu: some closer connection with "wild mind" - not in the sense of out of control, but more of not needing to be controlled

Eos Amaterasu: alertness

iwandertoo Resident: how so?

Eos Amaterasu: in touch with life and death qualities, so action/perception/reaction is more appropriate, natural, in tune with circumstances

Eos Amaterasu: I think extreme, or crisis, situations, can bring that out

Eos Amaterasu: then question is how that can also comes out in ordinary, day to day, life

Paradise Tennant: smiles you are sparklling tonight luci :)

Calvino Rabeni: Good and solid

iwandertoo Resident: :)

Rhiannon Dragoone: Susan isn't a cloud; she's good and solid to me.

Rhiannon Dragoone: And I'm not a witch's familiar

Calvino Rabeni: I'm not a witch :)

Paradise Tennant: nothing really wrong with a bit of magic :)

Paradise Tennant: in fact I suspect it is all magic ;)

Rhiannon Dragoone: Magic is just technology we don't understand

Calvino Rabeni: There is a fair amount of hand waving involved

Lucinda Lavender: Luci eats dinner on the patio...while we ponder this

Rhiannon Dragoone: Asimove had a story, "The Ultimate Question," which turned on that

Rhiannon Dragoone: And that was written before Clark coined the expression.

Paradise Tennant: smiles at luci ..sounds lovely ..like eating outside everything tastes better ..

Eos Amaterasu: or technology is that part of magic we think we understand

Eos Amaterasu: we are avatars being pulled out of a hat

 

 

Lucinda Lavender: trying to re cook the croquetts on the bbq

Calvino Rabeni: Or something very similar

Calvino Rabeni: I was hoping you would say that, Eos :)

Lucinda Lavender: feeling the tug of moving energy

Rhiannon Dragoone: If I appear ditracted, it's because I have to kill Uncle Charlie--there's a fly and Rosaly hates flies, and is too weak atm to kill it.

Calvino Rabeni: I have a sparkler too, here it is

Calvino Rabeni: I like to look at the clouds after the light fades

Lucinda Lavender: yes...star trails

Calvino Rabeni: This fireworks party was bigger than I expected,,, turns out there were around 50.000 people at the site. And strikingly multiethnic .. my videos had lots of chinese being spoken in the background, and one would not have known what country it was by looking at the people there

Lucinda Lavender: I saw a young man turn around while I was wolking and he was on his skateboard..have known him since ababy but hardly recognized him in being tall

Paradise Tennant: smiles

Lucinda Lavender: he stopped to chat...good thing he knew me...

Paradise Tennant: hate it when they do that and text at the same time .. gives me physical shudders

Lucinda Lavender: growing that happens between 15 and 16

Calvino Rabeni: There's a commercial where people are texting while skydiving

Paradise Tennant: bet his legs hurt a nite :)

Paradise Tennant: smiles

Lucinda Lavender: in every place now I guess

Lucinda Lavender: the texting

Calvino Rabeni: while riding a motorcycle ? maybe the passenger :)

Lucinda Lavender: passenger looks at the maps:)

 

 

Lucinda Lavender: it was unual to be recognized by some else first

Calvino Rabeni: Here's a mundane unusual thing ... opened the trash bin, and it was empty! That's hardly memorable, but was unusual

stevenaia Michinaga: someone I work with insisted I invited them to my party 90 minutes late, she so wanted me to apologize, which I could not not remember ing doing such a thing... and was going to amuse herself by making me her enterainment of abuse for the week until I fessed up.... (she was not letting go of what she belived she heard) so today she looked at her calendar.. and she read it wrong and I did invite her at the correct time..... she groveled for quite a while (saved by the computer)

Paradise Tennant: hmm smiles :)

stevenaia Michinaga: hardly woth the drama at the parts
