Lucinda Lavender: because it feels good
Korel Laloix: Does sound a difficult piece.

--BELL--

Korel Laloix: I do love a good thunderstorm.
Lucinda Lavender: nods:)
Lucinda Lavender: we had one the other day
Korel Laloix: But I can do without the tornadoes and hail.
Lucinda Lavender: many buds blew off our firtree
Lucinda Lavender: and the ground was covered with them
Korel Laloix: Sounds like a lovely effect.
Lucinda Lavender: do you have fir trees?
Lucinda Lavender: do you know any childrens circle dances?
Lucinda Lavender: I am full of questions...sorry
Korel Laloix: I dont' knwo enough to distinguish between the evergree trees.
Korel Laloix: Not a tree person really... smiles
Lucinda Lavender: grass girl?
Korel Laloix: I know some traditional dances, but not really ones geared at yhoung ones.
Korel Laloix: Very much so...
Korel Laloix: I love the National Grasslands.
Korel Laloix: I get sort of a closed in feeling around too many trees.
Lucinda Lavender: yes...I have heard of that feeling...frinds who came from England had the feeling when visiting here in Washington
Korel Laloix: Not sure why I have that afinity.
Korel Laloix: Just a drw for me though.
Lucinda Lavender: I was looking for a picture of Mount Rainer and then the phone rang!
Lucinda Lavender: Some of our family is walking in a walk about Mental Illness tomorrow
Lucinda Lavender: I can't because of rehearsal
Korel Laloix: No running?.. smiles
Lucinda Lavender: but it is a good thing to do...
Lucinda Lavender: just a walk I think with tents/ speakers etc
Lucinda Lavender: that would be you huh?
Korel Laloix: I helped with a few of those charity races or walks.. always good fun...
Korel Laloix: An excuse really.
Lucinda Lavender: This is for NAMI...not sure what that stands for
Korel Laloix: National Alliance for Mental Illness
Lucinda Lavender: Cool thanks
Korel Laloix: Thank you for the links.
Lucinda Lavender: I am checking the second one...not sure what it is
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: oops..more verdi...
Lucinda Lavender: sorry bell
Korel Laloix: I do like some of that sort of music, but it is not what I normally listen to.
Lucinda Lavender: I only listen to what I am singing..mostly a variety of all kinds
Lucinda Lavender: when the radio is on
Korel Laloix smiles.. I really dont' listen to the radio either much.
Beautifulmarira Resident: 's current display-name is "Beautifulmarira".
Korel Laloix: My sort of music does not get played alot on regular stations.

Korel Laloix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VdzyRm3dK0
Lucinda Lavender: Your new to SL?
Beautifulmarira Resident: somewhat new :)
Lucinda Lavender: ah!
Lucinda Lavender: thank you dear Korel!!
Korel Laloix: This is not their best performance, but it also gives you an idea about a low level powwow
Beautifulmarira Resident: very neat :)
Lucinda Lavender: I went to a powwow here in Seattle once
Lucinda Lavender: was really impressed
Korel Laloix: How was that?
Korel Laloix: The ones they put on around the larger cities tend to be well arranged.
Lucinda Lavender: loved the dancing, food, stalls
Korel Laloix: But rather commercial as well.
Lucinda Lavender: it was at Discovery Park
Lucinda Lavender: and there is a center called...i forget
Lucinda Lavender: I will look it up
Lucinda Lavender: daybreak star center
Lucinda Lavender: I love it!
Lucinda Lavender: the link
Korel Laloix: Powwows are very different though...
Korel Laloix: Not really a good formula
Lucinda Lavender: tell us more...
Korel Laloix: But I do love the events... mostly.
Korel Laloix: But tehre are good and bad sides to everything.
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Lucinda Lavender: it awakens something in me I am just not sure what
Lucinda Lavender: some cultural thing I suppose that can cross culturals
Lucinda Lavender: cultures
Lucinda Lavender: a wisdom
Korel Laloix: It is very tribal and more in touch with our souls than a lot of other types of gatherings.
Lucinda Lavender: that is what I feel close to I suppose
Lucinda Lavender: attracted by
Korel Laloix: I grew up with it, so there are things that probably dont' move me like they do you.
Korel Laloix: But there are portions that really get to my insides.
Lucinda Lavender: I bet you are right...I had a dream once
Lucinda Lavender: where the dream said one should sing during a birth
Korel Laloix: I wonder what that inspiration was.
Lucinda Lavender: an interesting idea that seemed moving in itself
--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: There was a child at my preschool who was about to have a baby born into her family...the dream came with a statement ...like a direction...
Lucinda Lavender: just interesting.
Korel Laloix: Those sorts of inspirations I always find moving.
Korel Laloix: I personally don't remember my dreams.
Korel Laloix: But I am fascinated by those that do.
Lucinda Lavender: When I first started studying dreaming I had a few dreams where it felt like there were cross cultural things going on
Lucinda Lavender: one in which a thunderbird image was melting in through the wall
Lucinda Lavender: I can not remember what Thunderbird means...
Lucinda Lavender: but they are big !
Korel Laloix: In a lot of cultures, certain animals have a certain meaning, not just in dreams.
Lucinda Lavender: Maira..have you any questions or thoughts about Play as Being?
Korel Laloix: We tend to use teh term totem.
Lucinda Lavender: Right!
Beautifulmarira Resident: I have been listening to thi facinating conversation :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: great..
Beautifulmarira Resident: I do not dream or at least I do not remember dreams
Lucinda Lavender: that is pretty common:0
Korel Laloix: You probably are like me, you just dno't remember them.
Lucinda Lavender: )
Korel Laloix: The only dreams i have ever remembered were nightmares.
Lucinda Lavender: One way to look at nightmares is to see one self as a witness to what ever is seen...and then see if you can give the images a loving sort of energy
Korel Laloix: What do you mean?
Beautifulmarira Resident: listens
Lucinda Lavender: well I have had some that I wake up afraid from...or horrified about...usually i write it down...and sometimes I go back and look into it as if it was not about me at all
Lucinda Lavender: or if it was I try to just say it is a thought...stress bubbling up
Lucinda Lavender: "that was an interesting thought.."
Lucinda Lavender: I wonder what I see about it?
Lucinda Lavender: could this thought or image be about someone else?
Korel Laloix: hmm.. interesting thoughts.
Lucinda Lavender: I has been true for me that for people I love I will see some images about them..
Lucinda Lavender: it can be quite embedded tho
Lucinda Lavender: almost like a puzzle
Korel Laloix: All of my nightmares are about me essentially witnessing great harm or death to people I care about from a distance... and me being helpless to help.
Lucinda Lavender: I hope this does not sound naive...but what if this is about what happened to you people...?
Lucinda Lavender: because such atrocities were done
Korel Laloix: Cuold be I guess.
--BELL--

Korel Laloix: Probably more had to do with what happened to me personally when I was young though.
Lucinda Lavender: so I guess I might want to at bed time...speak to the issue before sleep...saying that you bring love in any case for those suffering
Lucinda Lavender: those who suffered before and now
Lucinda Lavender: it just feels like a possibility
Lucinda Lavender: thatis how I would do if it were me
Korel Laloix: Those thoughts are in my prayers for sure.
Korel Laloix: I am slowly figuring my brain out.. but this is one that I have not had much progress on.
Lucinda Lavender: well in seeing a whole culture in pain...you can rebuild threads for them...of love and appreciation.
Korel Laloix: I always hope to be a positive influence.
Lucinda Lavender: are the people recognizable?
Lucinda Lavender: I am sure you are:))
Korel Laloix: In my nightmares?
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Korel Laloix: No... I don't actualy see them... I jsut know they are in danger.... like in my last one.
Korel Laloix: I was driving back to grandmas house
Korel Laloix: And a wall of tornadoes was about to hit the house.
Korel Laloix: And all i could do was stand and watch from away.
Korel Laloix: And I knew she was at home.
Lucinda Lavender: Since for you tornados are a real possibility...you have a reality with that
Korel Laloix: Yes.
Korel Laloix: And in teh dream, where I stop to watch in under a bridge that actually exsists as well.
Lucinda Lavender: If I dreamed about a tornado i might consider it as anger...or a dream about someone living somewhere that it might be really happening
Korel Laloix: Very very vivid dream.
Lucinda Lavender: ah
Lucinda Lavender: the very vivid dreams really take some work
Korel Laloix: brb
Lucinda Lavender: that is why I have come to gather with other people to look at them..
Lucinda Lavender: learning to listen to them as not just personal
Korel Laloix: They are back from their ride and should be coming in shortly.
Korel Laloix: So have to go in a min.
Lucinda Lavender: establishing connections to love
Lucinda Lavender: ok:) thank you so much for sharing
Korel Laloix: Thank you for the thoughts on teh subject.
Lucinda Lavender: have a great night...
Korel Laloix: Sorry we scared Mari off.
Korel Laloix: I will I am sure.
Lucinda Lavender: no...she sounded like she was interested
Korel Laloix: Just need to find a way to get comfortable.
Lucinda Lavender: bye for now and sweet dreams toyou
Korel Laloix: Got thrown off a horse this morning and my backside is killing me.
Korel Laloix: Ciao
Lucinda Lavender: oops
Korel Laloix: Take care...
Lucinda Lavender: better soon
Korel Laloix: Talk to you soon
