Raffila Millgrove admires arch's beautiful Hikari (fish) and his cat.
Raffila Millgrove: name of cat is Koya M.
Archmage Atlantis: ty
Archmage Atlantis: yes
Raffila Millgrove: is the fish a boy or girl.. a Koi too?
Archmage Atlantis: There is a backstory to the name, if you are interested.......
Raffila Millgrove: of course. please tell me.
Raffila Millgrove: name of the cat?
Archmage Atlantis: Never thought about Hikari
Archmage Atlantis: He came from an island in SL with a divine pool
Archmage Atlantis: I've always thouugh of Hikari as without gender
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, Koya, ...l. one moment and let me find her card
Raffila Millgrove: he is according to his description a Rare Fish--the Hikari Utsuri Koi
Raffila Millgrove: i have koi too, but not one like that. markings are so distinct.
Raffila Millgrove: oh my gosh. that cat.. saddled with a lot of "meanings"
Raffila Millgrove: state of life that calls for another way--world out of balance And Star of the sea.
Raffila Millgrove: ty for the n/c.. i will open the youtube later... tricky to stay balanced myself here--have to avoid too much going on while viewer open.
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, Hikari belongs to the Isle of Hikari....both created by the Buddisht philospher, Moon Fargus
Raffila Millgrove: oh. Moon. i think he comes here, no?
Raffila Millgrove: did i meet him maybe.. Raffi ponders.
--BELL--
Archmage Atlantis: That is why Koya has a simpler name....responsibility is best worn lightly, even in a name
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, Moon is a part of this place
Raffila Millgrove: Koya M. . yes. it's suitable for this small white cat. I like it!
Archmage Atlantis: Raffia, I have perhaps not been the best host of this meeting....you have the notecard explaining Play as Being? or not?
Raffila Millgrove: oh yes of course. i come here often. thank you.
Archmage Atlantis: Ok, I come rarely now
Raffila Millgrove: oh? why is this?
Archmage Atlantis: But much of my heart is here
Raffila Millgrove: is it time? you have other pressing.. things to do?
Archmage Atlantis: Age, disability, the usual suspects <grin>
Raffila Millgrove: oh dear.
Raffila Millgrove: age is.. a bitch. I am going screaming into the night. i am not going to calm and accepting about it. I am not thilled by it.
Raffila Millgrove: i fight-- in the mind.. as much as you try to hold up the body.. and of course one should--it's the mind.. that you gotta hang onto it.. and keep it supple.
Archmage Atlantis: I hear you sister
Archmage Atlantis: I still scream and deny an d defy also
Archmage Atlantis: What good would I be, if I did not
Raffila Millgrove: well i totally back you in that. it's not that i am afriad of dying or leaving this place.. it's that i want to be in tip top mental shape as long as I am in it.
Archmage Atlantis: There is a quote that goes here, me thinks
Archmage Atlantis: The one that pops up is old
Raffila Millgrove: one of my favorite people. i believe he is 94-95.. he's suddenly losing the mind--he doesn't seem to .. notice too much or care.. but wow... i am .. not doing too great with accepting that.. i think his wife.. is very sad and angry about it too.
Raffila Millgrove: the quote.. are you remembering it?
Archmage Atlantis: Not all of it
Archmage Atlantis: It is something like "if all beggars were
Archmage Atlantis: .....
Archmage Atlantis: then all men would ride"
Raffila Millgrove: oh yeah.. sounds vaguely familiar.
Raffila Millgrove: we should make up our own middle to it. lol
Raffila Millgrove: you think that quote is about age?
Archmage Atlantis: The idea being that our ultimate fate is never of our choosing
Raffila Millgrove: ah.
Raffila Millgrove: yes.
Raffila Millgrove: never know.. how it will go.. when your number comes up.
Archmage Atlantis: Do you still love and respect this man and this woman who is his wife?
Raffila Millgrove: omg of course. i adore both of them.
Archmage Atlantis: Then, in that, is your comfor.
Raffila Millgrove: they have been so kind and good to me for many years. they are one of few people who as a couple.. is friends to both my husband and me..
Raffila Millgrove: i have been so lucky to know them.
Archmage Atlantis: *comfort
Raffila Millgrove: well .. i dunno Arch.
Raffila Millgrove: for me.. i already had a lot of loss.. pretty high. in losing loved ones. so... i never.. am too good at the part where you must face letting go.
Raffila Millgrove: I am experienced in it, more than most.. but it doesn't mean i get any better at it. i really do not.. i think am geting worse maybe.
Archmage Atlantis: Nor do I Raffia......but I try to see reality, tempered by rose colored glasses
--BELL--
Archmage Atlantis: I just keep dropping my glasses, breaking them, and having to make or find new pair
Raffila Millgrove: no kidding. i was going to say similiar.. that i shove them up on my head and forget where they went.
Raffila Millgrove: lol
Archmage Atlantis: lol
Archmage Atlantis: np, Raffia
Archmage Atlantis: Blessings and Namaste
Archmage Atlantis: Bring tea for the tillermn
Archmage Atlantis: Steak for the son
Archmage Atlantis: Give me the momentsts
Archmage Atlantis: when all the winds come
Archmage Atlantis: ....
Archmage Atlantis: Dang, not only can I not sing......I can't even do lyrical text
Archmage Atlantis: Perhaps it isn't meant to be easy
Archmage Atlantis: If I were the Creator of all things, how would I choose what is the thing that should bechosen
Archmage Atlantis: Even, how would I I accept that there must be a choice
Archmage Atlantis: perhaps
Archmage Atlantis: I wouldn't</grin>
