Eos Amaterasu: Hi Cat
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi :)
Eos Amaterasu: what have you been discussing? :-)
Catrinamonblue Resident: enjoying silence ;)
Eos Amaterasu: ^_^
Catrinamonblue Resident: but am willing to break silence to talk about other things as well :)
Eos Amaterasu: ¿^_^¿

--BELL--

Catrinamonblue Resident: cute faces :) how do you get the upside down question marks?
Eos Amaterasu: On a Mac, shift-option-?
Catrinamonblue Resident: ah I'm on a pc :)
Eos Amaterasu: also ears or earrings
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)

Eos Amaterasu: what is listening to silence?
Catrinamonblue Resident: silence is the quiet of the moment in which you hear yourself and yet do not hear yourself
Catrinamonblue Resident: a moment in time that is cut off from all other moments
Eos Amaterasu: and maybe to be found in any moment
Catrinamonblue Resident: nods

Eos Amaterasu: I guess it's helpful to create little brackets, like [ inside of which we spend time in silence ]
Catrinamonblue Resident: knowing and not knowing, a finding perhaps of the spaces between the spaces
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes brackets :)
Eos Amaterasu: kind of a gateless gate
Catrinamonblue Resident: smiles
Eos Amaterasu:I think the Play as Being exercises are those kind of gateless gates
Eos Amaterasu: hold your mind a certain way and see what happens
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes
Catrinamonblue Resident: though I am still very new to all this :)
Eos Amaterasu: people have very different ways of doing or even describing this
Eos Amaterasu: (that's one of the things I have learned :-)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eos Amaterasu: it's quite educational to see the limitations of one's own way of being that one had taken for granted
Eos Amaterasu: so it's very multimedia and multi-modal here
Catrinamonblue Resident: nods :)

--BELL--

Catrinamonblue Resident: Thank you Eos for sharing this time with me :) I must head off to bed now, it's late here :)

Catrinamonblue Resident: :) Good night
Eos Amaterasu: I will also head to zzzz-land
Eos Amaterasu: 'night!
