Ewan Bonham: Hello friends..
stevenaia Michinaga: hi Ewan
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Ewan
Eliza Madrigal: you mean each new session/round of Tai Chi you begin with first moves?
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Ewan :)
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, part of the three part form I do often
stevenaia Michinaga: the first move is always the same

Eos Amaterasu: Begin the Beguine
Eos Amaterasu: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNcPnEc99UE)
stevenaia Michinaga: there is never done, there is no perfection, there is only better
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: nice
Eos Amaterasu: Pausing in the beginning
stevenaia Michinaga: many cannot accept that as they think there is only perfection that can be the goal, so they miss the point, infinite patience :)
Eos Amaterasu: infinite patience
Eliza Madrigal: would set up a kind of war to be after perfection I guess
Ewan Bonham: Would that not be a form of attachment...and therefore suffering?
stevenaia Michinaga: I don't think perfection embodies balance
Eliza Madrigal: well maybe friendlier to say the imperfection is already perfection
Ewan Bonham: Smile... yes
Eos Amaterasu: yes, maybe enough to be perfectly there with what is, however imperfect (especially ourselves)
stevenaia Michinaga: we are, after all only human :)
Eliza Madrigal: and what an amazing thing to be
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aph :)
Ewan Bonham: Even the concept of perfect may entrap the mind..
Ewan Bonham: Hi aph...:)
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello everyone. Excuse the clothing-I've been in the 18th c
Eos Amaterasu zooms in
Aphrodite Macbain: are we taling about perfection?
Aphrodite Macbain: talking
Eliza Madrigal: and I have been ready to flamenco all day... not yet dancing but I'll be ready when it arrives
Eliza Madrigal: mhm... and infinite patience
Eos Amaterasu: vast patience... already there wherever you go
stevenaia Michinaga: your for the taking
stevenaia Michinaga: yours
Eliza Madrigal: "vast emptiness and nothing holy"
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
stevenaia Michinaga: with patience comes acceptance
Eos Amaterasu: 9 seconds of patience
Eos Amaterasu: not zooming out from what is
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Aphrodite Macbain: Is patience the same as endurance?
Eliza Madrigal: good question
Ewan Bonham: Hmmm... interesting question...
Eliza Madrigal: somehow related to core?
stevenaia Michinaga: explain endurance, Aph
stevenaia Michinaga: a race?
Aphrodite Macbain: well, being able to stay with something and not give up
Aphrodite Macbain: it involves patience and also strength
Ewan Bonham: For me, it means a bit more..
Aphrodite Macbain: endurance?
Ewan Bonham: A faith that I can survive the wait...
Aphrodite Macbain: endurance is fait or endurance requires faith
Eos Amaterasu: maybe a kind of confidence that you don't need to leave the basic space, or be buffeted about by circumstance of some event
Aphrodite Macbain: ?
Eliza Madrigal: capacity to stay with
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: isnt that patience?
Eos Amaterasu: adding "ji" to every circumstance
Ewan Bonham: There is an internal dialogue aboutit for me..
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eos Amaterasu: let's try that in pause
Aphrodite Macbain: what?

--BELL--

Ewan Bonham: releasing my fears that i can not make it... that I might die unless i give in...
stevenaia Michinaga: endurance sounds like a struggle.. patience becomes effortless
Eliza Madrigal: maybe ways to give in without giving in in the way first considered
Aphrodite Macbain: Imagines Diana Ross singing "I will survive"
Eos Amaterasu: was feeling patience as Big Love, like that of a mother for crying and pooping and barfing baby
Archmage Atlantis: 's current display-name is "Arch".
