The Guardian for this meeting was Lucinda Lavender. The comments are by Lucinda Lavender.

Lucinda Lavender: Friday morning, no vistors, feeling kind of lonley, Waiting for the pillows to fill up and then with each bell I drop that.
Lucinda Lavender: Gazing out my window I see in the tree a squirrel. Eating something high up in the branches. It is one of the seed pods on the maple tree. Watching a bird fly by I was thinking about how some people like to watch birds. It occurred to me yesterday that perhaps the freedom of their flight is inspiring...and beautiful.
Lucinda Lavender: There is such a contrast...to our human bodies...ah but what about dancing...a little like flying. What if someone was not allowed to do that for some reason...then watching birds might be inspiring.
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: What about filling ones view? I like to go out into public places sometimes and just be in the crowd..."who is here today?" There I experience what it is like not to be alone in a different way. I am imagining shoppers out and about.
Lucinda Lavender: What about emptying my self of these questions? In a sort of gentle way...there is a fine mist falling down outside. Droplets forming on the branches of the maple. Like little questions.
Lucinda Lavender: Watching for our projections that appear on everything around us.....I watched the movie Ruby Sparks last night. Feeling some compassion for the characters....so hard not to write my version of reality onto everything and every person I come in contact with.
Lucinda Lavender: Interestingly dreaming was in there...the reality/lack of reality about each viewing place.
Lucinda Lavender: The dream and the waking.
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: There was the shock of carrying the dream into waking...and the awareness of the extent of controlling ones view, clinging to it, swinging back and forth, trying to deal with the outcome realized.
Lucinda Lavender: Then perhaps a kind of sitting back and allowing, letting be.
Lucinda Lavender: Choosing seeing that I am seeing/or not seeing. Time to go now.
