    stevenaia Michinaga: expects a small turnout tonight :)
    Eos Amaterasu: :-)
    Eos Amaterasu: saturday night live at PaB
    Eos Amaterasu: SophiaSharon Larnia: some of my poignant 'clicking' has been with mundane activies such as driving my car.
    Eos Amaterasu: SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm, it is almost an experience of disembodiment, being in an autopilot state physical
    Eos Amaterasu: Pema Pera: thank you, Sharon! I'll have to leave now, but how about looking for quality & presence, the coming few days, inspired by Sharon's description?
    Eos Amaterasu: (stevenaia disappeared)
    Eos Amaterasu: re-appeared
    Eos Amaterasu: presence is discontinuous
    Eos Amaterasu: :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: very srange, every turned black and white and froze
    Eos Amaterasu: hmmm
    stevenaia Michinaga: so I switched viewers after it logged me out
    stevenaia Michinaga: thoughts in quality? The concept is slowly begining to make its substance known to me through the fog
    stevenaia Michinaga: I sence it is the other thing, aside from what you see and what is seen
    stevenaia Michinaga: the third thing...
    Eos Amaterasu sniffs for the other thing, the third thing, .... :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: yin, yang and perhap the other thing
    stevenaia Michinaga: balance
    Eos Amaterasu: (oh, that's something downstairs I'm smelling :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: the fulcrum on the see saw
    Eos Amaterasu: hah hah RL made a sudden appearance via the nose !
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Eos Amaterasu: Memories of Sechuan sauce
    stevenaia Michinaga: that means it's done
    stevenaia Michinaga: or very old
    Eos Amaterasu: the sauce smell pervades space
    Eos Amaterasu: and suddenly clears it
    stevenaia Michinaga: you have chinese restaurant there
    stevenaia Michinaga: or something you made
    Eos Amaterasu: no.... I was just preparing some tofu
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Eos Amaterasu: surprised myself
    stevenaia Michinaga: who so?
    stevenaia Michinaga: how
    Eos Amaterasu: started it, prepared, left it in the oven (with timer).... then suddenly smell appears at the door to the nose
    stevenaia Michinaga: a late dinner?
    Eos Amaterasu: yes, a bit of late protein prep


    --BELL--


    Eos Amaterasu: in 90 seconds of silence I ran down and had a taste
    Eos Amaterasu: instant micro Chinese restaurant
    stevenaia Michinaga: :) don;t rush on the bell's account
    Eos Amaterasu: I am reporting from my 90 second lab experiment
    Eos Amaterasu: following my nose
    stevenaia Michinaga: smiles, how spicy is your Sechuan
    Eos Amaterasu: Well, this is from a bottle, I'd say medium+
    stevenaia Michinaga: ponders the impact of food on your upcomming dreams
    stevenaia Michinaga: had Lebanese at a local a Lebanese Heritaqge Day Fest, lots of garlic
    stevenaia Michinaga: never had any interest in raw meat w/ oil (kibbie)
    Eos Amaterasu: hmm
    Eos Amaterasu: there's a kind of musical analog of the sort of stepping back that SophiaSharon refers to
    stevenaia Michinaga: in her driving moment, what did she call it?
    Eos Amaterasu: almost an experience of disembodiment, being in an autopilot state physical
    Eos Amaterasu: (quoting SSL)
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods, zoning out, could be dream-like...awake dreaming
    Eos Amaterasu: Jerry Garcia does this thing where the music is playing, and then he doesn't do the expected beat
    Eos Amaterasu: so a drop happens
    Eos Amaterasu: and that opens up a kind of elliptical greater space
    Eos Amaterasu: where you suddenly hear all the music differently
    Eos Amaterasu: out of the box
    Eos Amaterasu: sudden zoning out
    Eos Amaterasu: but into something bigger
    Eos Amaterasu: drop and wake!
    Eos Amaterasu: "I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm alive,but without you it doesn't seem real" - BD
    stevenaia Michinaga: BD?
    Eos Amaterasu: Bob Dylan
    stevenaia Michinaga: aww
    stevenaia Michinaga: you have a nice recall of lyrics
    Eos Amaterasu: music has a way of sticking with you
    Eos Amaterasu: takes over your mind
    Eos Amaterasu: it's astonishing that we do this to ourselves
    Eos Amaterasu: but then our nerves sing our bodies living
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, I listen to some things over and over , like good food, you want the same thing over and over


    --BELL--


    stevenaia Michinaga: I've been eating the same eggplant parm recepe made bt the same family restaurant for almost 20 years, taste is like sound, wonders if they are nearby in the brain
    Eos Amaterasu: nerves communicate using sound, it seems
    Eos Amaterasu: and synaptic junctions are a kind of taste
    Eos Amaterasu will turn in for the night.... dawn goddess sleeps
    Eos Amaterasu: :-)
    stevenaia Michinaga: night, sweet dreams
    Eos Amaterasu: nice to be with you here, stevenaia
