Eos Amaterasu: difficult symmetries, yes
Naturespaw Bestijl: Umm.. is it valid to say, the wonderful people around me? Family, friends, to-be-friends.
Pema Pera: :-)
Pema Pera: I especially like the "to-be-friends"!
Eos Amaterasu: to-be beings
Pema Pera: and I just noticed in your profile, how you describe friendships as links to the future and past -- nice angles!
Naturespaw Bestijl: :)
Naturespaw Bestijl: Do you guys believe people always walk into and out of our lives for a reason?
iwandertoo Resident: waves

Eos Amaterasu: let's try
iwandertoo Resident: Naturespaw, do you?
--BELL--
Pema Pera: Naturespaw, just a small point: when the pond becomes fuzzy, and the bell rings, and the green text appears in the "local chat" log, we all pause for 90 seconds.
Eliza Madrigal: I've been here over two years and the way you described that just now Pema was so interesting to me... hah...
Pema Pera: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: Don't try this at home: :\"the pond becomes fuzzy, and the bell rings, and the green text appears i"
Pema Pera: hehehe
Pema Pera: hi Milakel!
Eliza Madrigal: like I'd never heard it, haha yes exactly
milakel Resident: hi :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Mila :)
Storm Nordwind: Then the dragons (of the mind) appear ;)
Eos Amaterasu: I think we have a movie there.... :-)
Pema Pera: and yes, Susan, when we open our hearts, we learn from any experience
Eliza Madrigal: :))
milakel Resident: omg! apparition! pema himself! :)
Eliza Madrigal laughs
iwandertoo Resident: and keep learning, and keep learning, and keep...
Pema Pera: emulating the good and avoiding the bad AND holding off on judging good and bad, hahaha
milakel Resident: i picked the right landing spot as well
iwandertoo Resident: key to happiness...
milakel Resident: *pokes eliza gently*
iwandertoo Resident: one can never know (fully know) another's story - their pain...leave the judgments at a fair level
Eliza Madrigal grins at Mila and ties her to the cushion so she doesn't get distracted
milakel Resident: :)
Dash Earthboy: :)
Dash Earthboy: wonderful to see y'all tonight...RL beckons...pax et bonum y'all...and a pleasant evening to all
Pema Pera: bye Dash!
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eliza Madrigal: bye Dash :)
Eos Amaterasu: ciao, Dash
stevenaia Michinaga: night Dash
Naturespaw Bestijl: take care Dash :)
Pema Pera nods at Susan
milakel Resident: pema, what's your view on the "silent peace day" in connection with kira insitute?
Pema Pera: I think it's a nice idea!
Pema Pera: the silent peace day
Pema Pera: I don't think there is any specific connection with Kira
Eos Amaterasu: take whatever occurs as the "path". That's one of my favorite quotes: "then your body becomes a retreat hut". (*Susan thread)
Pema Pera: yes, practice as a little engine that runs on any type of fuel . . .
Eliza Madrigal: appreciation material
Eos Amaterasu: the 90 seconds, and 9 seconds, are little practices in being with whatever is being with you
Eos Amaterasu: friendship :-)
milakel Resident: btw, riddle is working on the 9 sec android app. adding an ability to make notes.
Eos Amaterasu: framings, and visuals as Pema described :-)
Pema Pera: I love the idea!
milakel Resident: this in connection with eos drop app can be very promising
Eos Amaterasu: the pond becomes fuzzy, and the bell rings, and the green text appears
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: mabye bird sounds
Pema Pera: you might hear your own heart beating
iwandertoo Resident: :)
Eos Amaterasu: whatever sensory modality is okay
Naturespaw Bestijl: I've read if you concentrate enough, you can even control your heartbeat
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: nice line Naturespaw, kept thinking how concentration is not effort but effortlessness
Pema Pera: especially for opening your heart to all experiences :-)
milakel Resident: stev, it *is* an effort! :)
stevenaia Michinaga: it's both
milakel Resident: otherwise, everyone would be a pab member
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
stevenaia Michinaga: hehe
Storm Nordwind: When I was young I heard that lower pulse rates were better for athletes. So I set about reducing by 72 bpm to 60 just by will. It worked. And it's still 60! :)
iwandertoo Resident: how did you do this?
Storm Nordwind: I don't remember for sure. I was 9 at the time!
milakel Resident: his pulsometer is broken :)
milakel Resident: ah, this magical number 9
Eos Amaterasu: shh
Naturespaw Bestijl: Children do have an uncanny ability to make things happen
Naturespaw Bestijl: Without really trying.
Storm Nordwind: It wasn't through exercise, that's for sure
Naturespaw Bestijl: Now how can we cultivate this?
Eos Amaterasu: not through exercise?
Eliza Madrigal: :) Storm
Eos Amaterasu: Storm is not an athlete?
Eliza Madrigal: good question, Nature... cultivating child-like openness
Storm Nordwind: Those who have met me in RL will know that exercise is not my strong suit! ;)
Eos Amaterasu thinks of Winnie the Pooh
Pema Pera: (^_^)
Storm Nordwind takes that as a compliment :)
milakel Resident: um, re: child-like opennes. i think one approach is to accept yourself as you are.
Pema Pera: yes, but not so easy . . . you have to see yourself in order to accept yourself . . .
Eliza Madrigal: we are naturally open Mila ? :)
iwandertoo Resident: nods
milakel Resident: then you have less tiem for assumptions and fears
Eliza Madrigal: :)
milakel Resident: more time to live
Naturespaw Bestijl: So a third person perspective?
Pema Pera: or a zeroth person perhaps ? :-)
milakel Resident: i'd say self
Eos Amaterasu: space as your mother perspective
milakel Resident: right!
iwandertoo Resident: pardon...what is a zeroth person?
milakel Resident: 0th, i like it
Pema Pera: oh, just made that up: beyond distinctions
Pema Pera: beyond subject-object split
Pema Pera: more naturally integrated
milakel Resident: primordial self :)
Eos Amaterasu: or, speaking in the zeroth persson
milakel Resident: eos, you can practice it on sep 21st :)
Eos Amaterasu: space as you motha?
milakel Resident: hint: silent peace day
Eos Amaterasu: space is the place: silent would be great
Eos Amaterasu: that's a equinox day
Pema Pera: silent balance of light and dark
iwandertoo Resident: .i fell as if we should be sharing our greatest joys with others...to not be silent. to share the incredible things in life...to see that joy rise in them...this is peace
iwandertoo Resident: strike the "we"
Storm Nordwind notes the equinox this year is on the 23rd
Eos Amaterasu: I think that's just as true!
Pema Pera: yes, balance between silence and speech, too
--BELL--
Pema Pera: hi O, great to see you again!
Eliza Madrigal wonders about cues in RL walking down the street... no pond going fuzzy....
Eliza Madrigal: no green text
Eliza Madrigal: Hi 0 :))
Pema Pera: an occasional bell . . .
Storm Nordwind waves
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Naturespaw Bestijl: Hi 0!
Eos Amaterasu: occasional fuzzy mist
Eos Amaterasu: neon signs
Pema Pera: but: green ponds and fuzzy thoughts in RL too
Eos Amaterasu: hi o
Eliza Madrigal: yes sometimes mist and bells...sirens
Eliza Madrigal: ah, remembering that my mother would say to stop and pray every time an ambulance went by...
milakel Resident: sam :)
milakel Resident: ah, so nice
Eos Amaterasu: come the winter there will be snowglobes covering the city
milakel Resident: i actually do that too ...sort of
Storm Nordwind: Come here in winter, there will be a snowglobe covering the pavilion. Maybe :)
milakel Resident: wishing well in my mind
Eliza Madrigal: :) life's cues to stop and remember, nice Mila
Naturespaw Bestijl: Fuzzy snowing pond!
Eliza Madrigal smiles @ Eos and Storm
Pema Pera: Nature, Eos is the inventor of a new use for snowglobes: shake them and drop your preoccupations while the snow drops
milakel Resident: *remembers storm's cafe kitchen and wonders about pema's fave recipe*
Pema Pera wondering too . . .
Eliza Madrigal: if the snow sticks it is due to your own attachments... hehe
milakel Resident: *thinks it's something fish-related*
Storm Nordwind groans at Eliza's pun :)
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Pema Pera wonders whether snow in Denver lasts 9 seconds sometimes . . . . weather changing quickly in the mountains
milakel Resident: pun attached itself :)
Storm Nordwind: The pace of life in Denver is so slow, we wouldn't notice the change Pema :)
Pema Pera: :-)
Eos Amaterasu gets reminded by traffic lights that count down the seconds till they go red
Eos Amaterasu: always stop at 9
Eliza Madrigal: :)
milakel Resident eeps
Pema Pera: ah, a way to spread the 9 sec through traffic!
Eliza Madrigal: I have to say goodnight.... thanks for a nice evening
Pema Pera: bye Eliza!
Eos Amaterasu: 'nite, E!

milakel Resident: ah, right
Storm Nordwind: It's called AOO
iwandertoo Resident: no...
milakel Resident: aoo?
Storm Nordwind: animation overide overide
Pema Pera too wondering about meanings of aoo
Eos Amaterasu hears an owl
Pema Pera: ah!
Pema Pera considering AOOA
Storm Nordwind wonders whether at least one A is Appearance
milakel Resident: heh
Eos Amaterasu: APA
Pema Pera: Appreciating the Openness of All Appearances

Storm Nordwind: Sorry to hear that Mila
Lucinda Lavender: was there a special topic to the last pause I wonder?
milakel Resident: um... appearance, i think
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: thanks
milakel Resident: you appearance was timely :)
Lucinda Lavender: floating in to present reality of the avatar
milakel Resident: i was thinking of "appearance override"...
milakel Resident: luci, it came from the talk about animation overrides :)
Lucinda Lavender: so that appearances are flowing through wires perhaps...the focus that moves from one wire to another...hmmm I see what you meant
milakel Resident: um, wires...
Lucinda Lavender: hmmm wireless I guess:) sorry
milakel Resident: *waits for storm to say something smart*
Storm Nordwind yawns
milakel Resident: susan, connection override? :)
milakel Resident: ha!

Lucinda Lavender: ah...was just thinking about chile rellenos made for dinner
Lucinda Lavender: takes a little work in stages

Storm Nordwind: Play as Being takes a little work in stages
Lucinda Lavender: eggs separated and whipped to a froth
oO0Oo Resident listens smiling

oO0Oo Resident wonders what kind of peppers and what kind of cheese Luci used

Lucinda Lavender: and pepper jack cheese
Lucinda Lavender: inside
oO0Oo Resident: yum!
oO0Oo Resident: wb Susan
iwandertoo Resident: ty
milakel Resident: storm, i suggest to organize a cafe kitchen event in rl :)
Storm Nordwind: very nice. We could Skype-cast for those that couldn't attend
milakel Resident: :)
Lucinda Lavender: to accompany this was le Clos dees Lumieres-cotes du Rhone
milakel Resident: luci :)
Storm Nordwind wonders whether Cotes du Rhone has got more reliable in recent years than it used to be
milakel Resident: ok, who wants to eat now? :)
Lucinda Lavender: new to me as a new red wine player
Lucinda Lavender: luci passes out tasty stuff and hope it is ok:)
milakel Resident: :)
Lucinda Lavender: thanks natures paw
oO0Oo Resident: :)))
Naturespaw Bestijl: Hehe
Storm Nordwind is thinking of a name for his latest recipe. :)
Lucinda Lavender: and what might it be I wonder?
milakel Resident: forest soup was both awesome and sad :/
Storm Nordwind: It's French Toast but made with the non-yeast version of naan bread. Had it tonight. Best French toast I've ever had
milakel Resident: i should post a tuna salad recipe
Lucinda Lavender: yum!
milakel Resident: naan? thin bread?
oO0Oo Resident: lol... getting hungry
milakel Resident: hehe
Storm Nordwind: Yes. But if you make the non-yeast version (using baking powder) you can make it quit fat bread - which you slice in half to get one very absorbent side - which soaks up the creamy eggy nutmeggy goodness really well without losing texture
oO0Oo Resident faints
milakel Resident: :)
Lucinda Lavender: :) has anyone heard of a book called nourishing traditions?
milakel Resident: nope
Storm Nordwind waits to be told about it :)
oO0Oo Resident: Quick! Somebody wave a slice of steaming Naan toast under my nose to revive me [listens]
Lucinda Lavender: well it made its way to my house ...and it helped us make the best pamncakes yet for us
milakel Resident: sam :)
Naturespaw Bestijl: Recipe!
milakel Resident: oh, i love pancakes
milakel Resident: in various forms
Lucinda Lavender: whole wheat four 2 cups
milakel Resident: last time i made blueberry pancakes
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: sourdough starter
Storm Nordwind thinks Pondicherry Naan would be a good name for his latest discovery, as Pondicherry (now Puducherry) was a former French colony in India.
Lucinda Lavender: 2 cups yogurt 2 eggs, little salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 T melted butter..
Lucinda Lavender: and some blackberries
Lucinda Lavender: sounds like a great name Storm:)
oO0Oo Resident: Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Tra.../dp/0967089735
Lucinda Lavender: :) thanks O!
Storm Nordwind: "butter is a health food" - Quite so!
Naturespaw Bestijl: Thanks for the recip Luci
Lucinda Lavender: feel so happy to share it:)
Lucinda Lavender: wondering what was on the french toast?
oO0Oo Resident: :))
Storm Nordwind: I'll post the recipe on pabcafe, but as i said, cream, egg, nutmeg - and when cooked, butter and maple syrup
Lucinda Lavender: great thanks...where is pab cafe?
iwandertoo Resident: you survived this, storm?
iwandertoo Resident: kidding
Storm Nordwind: Haha! Yup. As you'll find out, I put heavy whipping cream in my coffee!
iwandertoo Resident: love that...but its poison
Storm Nordwind: No. It's really healthy - for me at least!
iwandertoo Resident: hehe
iwandertoo Resident: bavarian creme
iwandertoo Resident: or something thicker
iwandertoo Resident: delicious things
milakel Resident: luci, http://groups.google.com/group/pabcafe
Storm Nordwind: British double cream is better (50% fat) but US heavy whipping cream (35%) has to do
Storm Nordwind has just ordered that cookbook! :)
iwandertoo Resident: laughing
Lucinda Lavender: thanks Mila
Lucinda Lavender: eyebrow are up!!
milakel Resident: ok, i'll go have a snack :)
Lucinda Lavender: this book has alot about fermented vegetables and fruit

Naturespaw Bestijl offers popcornto all
Lucinda Lavender: how about a sweet potato pancake too...thanks Nature
oO0Oo Resident: :) *thanks nature*
Naturespaw Bestijl: :)
iwandertoo Resident: :)
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: "Do not hesitate to add cultured cream to you soup for fear of eating too much fat. It supplies not only enzymes but valuable fat -soluable vitamins."...that is in this book!
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Storm Nordwind: I find fat is only a problem really if you have too much carbohydrate with it.
Naturespaw Bestijl: I'd half agree to it :P
Naturespaw Bestijl: Well.. Carbs turn into fatty tissue..
Naturespaw Bestijl: when in excess.
Storm Nordwind: And they'll cause you to take on the excess fat instead of it "passing through"
Lucinda Lavender: ah...
Naturespaw Bestijl wonders.. to avoid cows from getting too fat, we recommend farmers feed more grass and less cereals..
iwandertoo Resident: waves...have to go...thank you for this
Naturespaw Bestijl: Maybe we should eat more grass too :P
iwandertoo Resident: best to everyone
Naturespaw Bestijl: Take care Susan.
oO0Oo Resident: Bye Susan
Storm Nordwind waves
Lucinda Lavender: best to you Susan:)
Lucinda Lavender: love greens...
Lucinda Lavender: has anyone ever had a baked fennel bulb?
Lucinda Lavender: love fragrances of the garden
Storm Nordwind: No. But fennel seed is my secret ingredient in pizza sauce! :)
Lucinda Lavender: nods:)
oO0Oo Resident: :)))))))
oO0Oo Resident: both sound divine
Storm Nordwind: Oh... WAS my secret ingredient!
Lucinda Lavender: oops:)
Storm Nordwind chuckles
