    Riddle Sideways: This having a weekly theme word or topic is usually good
    Riddle Sideways: but, we solved this weeks in a couple sentences
    Riddle Sideways: this 1pm
    Lila Darkmatter: oh?
    Eos Amaterasu listens
    Pema Pera: what was the conclusion?
    Riddle Sideways: by floating in the fountain
    Riddle Sideways: on a summer afternoon
    Pema Pera: ah!
    Riddle Sideways: and having no competition
    Pema Pera: hence the pink flamingoes?
    Eos Amaterasu: dolce far niente
    Lila Darkmatter: :)
    Riddle Sideways: think they came from the morning session
    Lila Darkmatter: well, they were present at the morning session... but from perhaps the day before...
    Samúð (oo0oo) smiles... #occupy.. blissful remnants
    Riddle Sideways: decided that competition is either the root of most evil or darn close
    Lila Darkmatter: feel it is just an expression of a certain level of things/thinking
    Ewan (ewan.bonham): What might it compete with?
    Riddle Sideways: Winners and Losers
    Riddle Sideways: and then every body else
    Pema Pera: playful competition may be a good thing
    Samúð (oo0oo): feels to be awareness of desire in a way
    Riddle Sideways: what would "Healthy Competition" be????
    Samúð (oo0oo): letting the flavours co-mingle
    Ewan (ewan.bonham): Is that not cooperation?
    Pema Pera: good question, Ewan!
    Samúð (oo0oo): :)
    Eos Amaterasu: Origin: 
    1610–20; < Latin competere to meet, coincide, be fitting, suffice ( Late Latin: seek, ask for), equivalent to com- com- + petere to seek; Late Latin and E sense influenced by competitor
    Lila Darkmatter: interesting!
    Eos Amaterasu: striving to meet some point, to be up to something
    Riddle Sideways: hmmm, influenced by competitor
    Samúð (oo0oo): noticing the weather
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Eos Amaterasu: what is that stuff coming down?
    Riddle Sideways: snow
    Riddle Sideways: cooperation = teamwork = team sports
    Riddle Sideways: ?
    Eos Amaterasu: the sense of stretching your limits, that competition has/can have,, seems healthy
    Lila Darkmatter: sparking one another to best or previously unknown ability
    Samúð (oo0oo): crickets and frogs operating in chorus
    Pema Pera: :-)
    Ewan (ewan.bonham): Tension between the inner and outer..
    Eos Amaterasu: certain tautness to spirit
    Samúð (oo0oo): a continent distinction Eos
    Eos Amaterasu: (uh oh) (that's from "Laws of Form", btw)
    Pema Pera is wondering about competing with himself, trying to live better . . . .
    Lila Darkmatter: so other connotations to the 'competition' may come in with motivation
    Lila Darkmatter: yes Pema?
    Samúð (oo0oo) listens
    Riddle Sideways: what if you lose. Pema
    Pema Pera: hahaha
    Lila Darkmatter: :)
    Riddle Sideways: what if you win, Pema
    Riddle Sideways: what is you come in third place, Pema
    Pema Pera: competition may not be about results, necessarily

    Play as Being 15 minute bell: Please observe 90 seconds of silence.
    Play as Being 15 minute bell: Thank you.
    Riddle Sideways: Remember those "New Age Games" where there was no winner, no losers, everybody tied.
    Riddle Sideways: I kids saw through that
    Riddle Sideways: how to separate results from competition
    Eos Amaterasu: the thing about competition is betterness turning to egoness
    Lila Darkmatter: mmm
    Eos Amaterasu: defining yourself by that
    Eos Amaterasu: and defining the other....
    Samúð (oo0oo): open ended exploration may not allow for competition?
    Eos Amaterasu: oh, I think it may (as in science, right?)
    Samúð (oo0oo): no references.. perhaps more open than that
    Samúð (oo0oo): but what am i comparing?
    Lila Darkmatter: batons bantered about in time
    Pema Pera pondering Sam's question . . .
    Pema Pera: the notion of "starting at the end" seems to jump over an attitude of competition
    Pema Pera: and that might be the ultimate "open ended exploration"
    Lila Darkmatter: garuda wings ... but encompassing the energy, the flapping...?
    Riddle Sideways: ah, is "starting at the end"... the after the finish line... the next...
    Pema Pera: the sense that nothing has to be obtained
    Eos Amaterasu: starting at the end competes with never having to leave the beginning
    Pema Pera: :-)
    Eos Amaterasu visualizes a line with a beginning and an end
    Ewan (ewan.bonham): Folks I must run...rl ...but thank you...reflections...:)
    Lila Darkmatter waves to Ewan
    Eos Amaterasu: ciao Ewan
    Riddle Sideways: bye
    Pema Pera: bye Ewan
    Samúð (oo0oo): friendly encampments Ewan!
    Riddle Sideways visualizes a line with no beginning and no end
    Lila Darkmatter: lineless nature of lines
    Samúð (oo0oo): me ponders batons
    Eos Amaterasu: and cheerleaders
    Pema Pera: perhaps conceptual thinking implies competition: with one meaning assigned, less room for other meanings . . . .
    Eos Amaterasu: too much continence
    Eos Amaterasu: interesting that we often use competition to raise energy
    Lila Darkmatter nods
    Eos Amaterasu: maybe the other shows what we are lacking
    Eos Amaterasu: or makes us discover that
    Pema Pera: yes, that's what I had in mind with "trying to live better", a kind of comparison with "life as I seem to be living now" with "life as I could imagine living it (in a better way)"
    Pema Pera: something we probably all are engaged in to at least some extent much of the time
    Samúð (oo0oo): passing the baton.. opportunities

    Eos Amaterasu: pema
    Samúð (oo0oo): Hi Stevnaia
    Lila Darkmatter: Hi stevenaia :)
    Lila Darkmatter: better way - less striving perhaps
    Pema Pera: hi Steve!
    Riddle Sideways: perhaps more striving too
    stevenaia Michinaga: hello to all, the fountain has changed
    Lila Darkmatter: :) Riddle
    Eos Amaterasu: ahem
    Riddle Sideways: :) better not to mention the fountain
    Lila Darkmatter: hahaha
    Pema Pera: yes, we had a battle of the pink flamingoes . . . .
    Eos Amaterasu: it's okay, no one is listening
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Pema Pera: and collatoral damage occurred
    Lila Darkmatter: this session deserves an entry in PaB Trivial Pursuit game
    Eos Amaterasu: turns out there is no undo
    Riddle Sideways: like RL
    Lila Darkmatter: starting at the undone
    Pema Pera: :)
    Eos Amaterasu: where everything is returned
    Lila Darkmatter smiles at Eos
    Samúð (oo0oo): :)
    Pema Pera: have to leave now, good seeing you all
    Riddle Sideways: so competing with yourselves, but no winners and no losers
    Lila Darkmatter: Have a nice day Pema
    Riddle Sideways: bye, nice to have seen you :)
    Pema Pera: (lunch often punctually at 12 noon in Japan, ten minutes hence)
    Eos Amaterasu: well, 'night all!
    Lila Darkmatter giggles
    stevenaia Michinaga: night Pema
    Pema Pera: bfn
    Lila Darkmatter: Night Eos :)
    Eos Amaterasu: thanks
    Samúð (oo0oo): :)
    Riddle Sideways: is Eos in Japan?
    Samúð (oo0oo): Good question!
    Lila Darkmatter: :)for Eos it is midnight when noon for Pema... so perhaps similar sort of bell
    stevenaia Michinaga: it is almost midnight where is usually resides
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Lila Darkmatter: pumpkins and all that
    Samúð (oo0oo): Sun and Moon
    Samúð (oo0oo): Dragon swoonN
    Lila Darkmatter: /me smiles
    Samúð (oo0oo): /me sighs contentedly
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Samúð (oo0oo): [19:50] Riddle Sideways: so competing with yourselves, but no winners and no losers
    Riddle Sideways: did not matter who won or lost. It is the race and the having done it
    Riddle Sideways: to be able to (not) look back and say I/Me/ego did
    Riddle Sideways: but to have us all advance
    stevenaia Michinaga: sounds so simple but there is the unfortunate need for some to always be ahead
    Riddle Sideways: yeah
    Lila Darkmatter: indeed... suppose this is why traditions encourage to give up credit... surrender ourselves
    stevenaia Michinaga: like something is lost if we all advance
    Lila Darkmatter: make a habit of that
    Riddle Sideways: ba bye all
    stevenaia Michinaga: bye riddle
    Lila Darkmatter: lovely to see you
    stevenaia Michinaga: bye Lila
    Lila Darkmatter: bye Stevenaia... nice to see you and wish you so so well
