oO0Oo Resident: Hi Riddle :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hello Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: Hi O Eliza
Riddle Sideways: am getting a funny (maybe not warm) feeling from computer today
Eliza Madrigal: unfriendly vibe?
Riddle Sideways: maybe like it is getting a cold
Riddle Sideways: stuffed up
oO0Oo Resident: :)
oO0Oo Resident: the greater the complexity, the more appeal to mysticism?
Riddle Sideways: ah yes
Riddle Sideways: or animorphism
oO0Oo Resident nods
Riddle Sideways: oops, typed in the wrong box
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Eliza, this week's rules seem like old friends. One's that have been guides. Did not think of them as Rules! (except to always break them)
Eliza Madrigal: so you begin from the bottom up :)
Riddle Sideways: maybe
Riddle Sideways: like many rule books... pick the ones you like
Eliza Madrigal: :) rules are useful as sketched architecture to try
Riddle Sideways: ummm, while typing in the email program rather then this chat box... the rules got thrown away :)
Riddle Sideways: can't find them now
Eliza Madrigal: so do we take that as a sign? :)
Riddle Sideways: wondering what "Eliza, " commands Thunderbird to do?
Riddle Sideways: the rules are so easily deleted
Riddle Sideways: or maybe like Life... the rule book is hard to ...
Eliza Madrigal: Eliza feels like your computer today so happy to listen to flights of thunderbirds where they go :)
Eliza Madrigal: :::achoo:::
Riddle Sideways: bless you
Eliza Madrigal: ty :))
Riddle Sideways: Hi Bleu
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Bleu
Eliza Madrigal: Morning, Bleu
Bleu Oleander: hi all :)
Riddle Sideways: ah, the undo keys bring those little computer goofs back to us
Riddle Sideways: wish life had those 'undo' keys
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: it has pause keys maybe
Riddle Sideways: seems to have procrastinate keys too
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: needs an "editing appearance" key also
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: was anyone able to attend Eos' miniseries?
oO0Oo Resident: yes
Eliza Madrigal: yes... was pleasant
Bleu Oleander: how was it?
oO0Oo Resident: went well
Bleu Oleander: what was the topic?
oO0Oo Resident: nicely attended in more than one way
Bleu Oleander: so sorry I couldn't attend
Bleu Oleander: may be able to make the last one
Riddle Sideways: yes, hard time to attend
Eliza Madrigal: Eos has such a way with things ... it is a bit difficult to describe today - suppose in some ways similar format to others yet feels different to engage each time
Bleu Oleander: more experiential?
oO0Oo Resident: Eos gave a very good outline, which was not overly abbreviated catering to only those with a lot of experience, so that was very helpful.
Bleu Oleander: catering to only those with experience?
oO0Oo Resident: The notion was to find ways of bringing qualities to awareness in ways that might lead ultimately to tolls refined, and potentially vocabulary
Eliza Madrigal: with contemplative or phenomenology practices I guess
oO0Oo Resident: *tools
Bleu Oleander: will look forward to reading the log
Eliza Madrigal: one thing I notice upon reflection is that it is difficult to get away from being 'in' the experience of someone who is hosting - and also, I think not preferable
oO0Oo Resident: the form worked so well, as to slip on and off like a decal
Riddle Sideways: ?
oO0Oo Resident: interesting Eliza, and a point to consider
Riddle Sideways: /listens for more
Riddle Sideways: Ahoy, mighty Pirate
Alfred Kelberry: hi
Bleu Oleander: hiya MP
oO0Oo Resident: Ahoy Alf !
Alfred Kelberry: new artsy :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Alfred
Bleu Oleander: old artsy
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Alfred Kelberry: looking wonderful, as usual
Bleu Oleander: :)
Alfred Kelberry: *watches eliza typing*
Riddle Sideways: still trying to understand if not perferable to slip Eos decals on and off?
Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: seems part of things to appreciate and consider
oO0Oo Resident: I sense as much being prone to being in other's experience is as much a function of group as host. I wonder if others have thoughts on hosting.. techniques that can even be applied to any situation, such that there is a light holding, but not expecting to much of one's own view to be mutually shared.
Eliza Madrigal: well for my part of the puzzle I was thinking that sometimes in trying to be objective and neutral or equal,
oO0Oo Resident: *too
Eliza Madrigal: that can be an artificial standard and that it is warmer, more enjoyable and interesting to factor and celebrate the personality of the lab host that day with their unique ways of approach - Eos also makes room for others approaches in his
Alfred Kelberry: a lot of words accumulated during the pause :)
Eliza Madrigal: sorry to overlap O and confuse everyone :)
Alfred Kelberry: i think a notion of hosting is more of a formality, unless it's a theme session
Riddle Sideways: hosting can just be the action of putting out the crackers, apples, champagne, and gorp. then seeing what needs rerilling
Eliza Madrigal: :)
oO0Oo Resident: :)
oO0Oo Resident: Eos really did make the balance feel right.. Felt to have my own experience.. and room to be aware of form and group
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: have to go... was nice to see you all for a bit
oO0Oo Resident: i need to also
oO0Oo Resident: best wishes all
Alfred Kelberry: bye, kind lady eliza :)
Bleu Oleander: bye all :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: take care :)
Eliza Madrigal: ty, waves and hugs, tc
Alfred Kelberry: ah, you too
Riddle Sideways: ah, bye all
Riddle Sideways: was it something we didn't say?
Alfred Kelberry: did you hold something back?
Alfred Kelberry: speak out!
Riddle Sideways: ummm, nope
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Riddle Sideways: well, unless you want more... the apples and crackers need to be put away
Alfred Kelberry: btw, there's a new dislike button from facebook
