stevenaia Michinaga: hello Arch, Joolan
Joolan Resident: hi stev
Archmage Atlantis: And there is Stevia
stevenaia Michinaga: sweet that I am
Joolan Resident: :)
Archmage Atlantis: Funny
stevenaia Michinaga: you know I can’t help myself
Paradise Tennant: walk by  a church every day on the way to work .. it has some great quotes this week's quote is by Albert Einstein .. :” the important thing is to never stop questioning " was thinking it would make a great theme
Joolan Resident: very good theme
Archmage Atlantis: It is the theme of living, methinks, as the questions are more important than the answers
stevenaia Michinaga: strange thing to be on a church
Paradise Tennant: think questioning helps a lot . it. lets you see that everything is not always as it seems :)
Paradise Tennant: smiles they have some great quotes whoever does them is a great reader :)
Joolan Resident: I agree the questions always change for me, suppose it means I'm moving and not static and unquestioning
Archmage Atlantis: Well, Paradise......don't give all the magic man's secrets away *g*
stevenaia Michinaga: I seem to hear that often here, never stop questioning
Archmage Atlantis: Throughout existence, M. Stev.......the questions and the questioning are who we are
Joolan Resident: yes a construct I guess .. although it depends on the patience of others
Archmage Atlantis: Why does a creature burrow in the ground, or fly in the sky?
Archmage Atlantis: Why do we ask why?
Paradise Tennant: smiles why indeed ?
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Paradise Tennant: really questions are like steps in a path
Paradise Tennant: they are the forward motion
Joolan Resident: I agree I was socialized to not ask questions, simply to accept the status quo .. kept me static and resulted in un-wellness
Joolan Resident: I prefer to move forwards :)
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Archmage Atlantis: Being well, in my mind, is being what one is inside
Paradise Tennant: everything changes .. the questions and the answers and really the skill of living .. is coming up with the right questions
--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: if you were allowed only three questions .. what would they be ?
stevenaia Michinaga: sounds like an easy question.... until you think about it
Archmage Atlantis: I assume, Paradise, we each get to pick 3 questions of our own
Archmage Atlantis: Is that correct?
Paradise Tennant: yup
Archmage Atlantis: k
stevenaia Michinaga: that’s one, Arch :)
Paradise Tennant: lol
Paradise Tennant: nope that one did not count :)
Joolan Resident: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Joolan Resident: you know, I don’t appear to have any
Archmage Atlantis: 1) Does it matter if God/god/a supreme being exists?
stevenaia Michinaga: where does one begin.... maybe, who's cooking dinner?
Archmage Atlantis: 2) Am I alone in all eternity?
Paradise Tennant: lol
Paradise Tennant: or doing the laundry :)
Archmage Atlantis: 3) Who let the dogs out?
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Joolan Resident: my environment stimulates me to ask questions, or some experience
Joolan Resident: sometimes there are answers and sometimes no answers
Joolan Resident: sometimes answers are treated like a commodity
Joolan Resident: equal sharing or none at all
Archmage Atlantis: Joolan, if I said to you "There are no answers, only questions".....how would you respond?
Joolan Resident: it would depend, because quite the simplest things I don’t understand at times, therefore question, an understanding is my answer, nothing more
Joolan Resident: and sometimes its ok not to understand everything :)
Archmage Atlantis: Namaste, Grasshopper *g*
Archmage Atlantis: I must go
Paradise Tennant: do a lot of predictive analysis start every project with 3 columns: what do I need to know? .. what do I think I know? .. what do I really know?
stevenaia Michinaga: bye Arch
Archmage Atlantis: Blessings and Namaste luvs
Paradise Tennant: smiles nite nite arch thank you :)
Joolan Resident: bye arch
Paradise Tennant: questions are sort of like a structure but the answers are always degrees of shading in certainty
Joolan Resident: I guess my questions are to make sense of my world
Paradise Tennant: nods
Joolan Resident: shading yes
stevenaia Michinaga: two people with the same problem usually ask different questions
stevenaia Michinaga: solve the problems before them differently
Paradise Tennant: nods
Joolan Resident: yes and may take differing paths as a solution to those problems
stevenaia Michinaga: makes for a richer world
Joolan Resident: :)
Paradise Tennant: :)
--BELL--
Joolan Resident: I find this space so peaceful
Paradise Tennant: smiles yes :) it is :)
Paradise Tennant: very calming .. reflective
stevenaia Michinaga: Word of the day... well word of my day from an Assie friend who is moving.... they call them "removalists"
Paradise Tennant: their movers ?
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Joolan Resident: :)
Paradise Tennant: smiles kind of a mouthful

Paradise Tennant: though tonight I spent some 45 minutes trying to log on
Paradise Tennant: kep getting logged out, when I was on, could not see anything just the toolbars but everything  else was  a blue screen.. really odd.
stevenaia Michinaga: smiles, yes, I would hate to add to the lists already sent out to be filled

stevenaia Michinaga: a shame blue is such a bad colors when computers wear it
Paradise Tennant: yes
stevenaia Michinaga: my son's X-box has a "red circle of death" even has a wiki page about how bad the units were made and self destruction is inevitable
Paradise Tennant: sigh
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, premature failure is an unfortunate side effect of bad planning
Paradise Tennant: this is an old computer that I use for sl ... very old but has always been very reliable :) going to talk nicely to it for a while longer I hope

Paradise Tennant: ohhh that is hard find I pine for the dog when I am away too .. just doesn't feel right :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I came across neighbors who were walking their dog... and their cat joins them w/o a leash
stevenaia Michinaga: a nice family
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Paradise Tennant: know of a cat and dog who use to walk together every day in a community on  Toronto island ..
Paradise Tennant: dog would show up in the cat’s yard
Paradise Tennant: she would swish our the little cat door and they would promenade – no  cars there just bicycles
Paradise Tennant: same daily ritual for years
Paradise Tennant: when the dog's time came - he died in her front yard
Paradise Tennant: she would not let anyone near him for a very long time ..
Paradise Tennant: it was love :) friendship : family :) even I suspect :)
stevenaia Michinaga: companionship
Paradise Tennant: yes :) always wondered if they knew each other in a prior life or whether it was just a deep bond from this one
Paradise Tennant: smiles yawning .. think it is time to say thank you and good nite :)
