stevenaia Michinaga: wonders what the note says and how they know it you
Eos Amaterasu: c# ?
Lila Darkmatter: :) well, I get general notices to our hallway and surrounding areas , lol
Lila Darkmatter: it is a strange change sometimes
Eos Amaterasu: from old house to new apartment?

--BELL--

Lila Darkmatter: old house to old apartment
Lila Darkmatter: (old being very relative - both built 1980 roughly)
Lila Darkmatter: How is your cold, Eos?
Eos Amaterasu: that's pretty much over, now
Lila Darkmatter: oh, good
Eos Amaterasu: will probably get snow tomorrow (that stevenaia is getting now, or soon?)
stevenaia Michinaga: tomorrow night and the next 24 hours
Lila Darkmatter: do either of you get out into it to play? (after dangerous part passes)
stevenaia Michinaga: so says the "European Weather Model"
Eos Amaterasu: snow.... ah.....
Lila Darkmatter: what does she look like? lol
stevenaia Michinaga: if you call shoveling "Plan"
stevenaia Michinaga: Play
Lila Darkmatter giggles... sure....
Eos Amaterasu: some shovelling yes
Eos Amaterasu: and chopping kindling
Lila Darkmatter: :) sounds wonderful, if not for having to function in drive to work sorts of ways
Eos Amaterasu: and this past weekend, two very cold clear like inside a picture postcard intense colors days
stevenaia Michinaga: I had a great shovel with a back saving bend and a large scoop... the last storm destroyed it

Eos Amaterasu: in the woods completely still
Eos Amaterasu: stillness
Eos Amaterasu: encountered
Lila Darkmatter: ::swoon:::
stevenaia Michinaga: snow is like sound insulation after
Eos Amaterasu: yes, it does things to sound
Eos Amaterasu: like being in a soft snowfall
stevenaia Michinaga: and makes wonderful sound when you walk in it
Eos Amaterasu: or a blizzard, which also has a stillness
Lila Darkmatter: I wouldn't know... would like to ~ did spend time on a beach this morning and thought about others in snow... the sand was soft and thick and made me walk very slowly
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, similar
Eos Amaterasu: umm, yes thinking of Horseneck Beach in Massachusetts....
Eos Amaterasu: endless walks
stevenaia Michinaga: come north, you will enjoy the snow
stevenaia Michinaga: and the shoveling
stevenaia Michinaga: hehe
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Eos Amaterasu: scraping is the worst
Lila Darkmatter: I have never chopped wood, but I can carry water perhaps
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Eos Amaterasu: saw pictures of an ice storm in Slovakia, cars embedded in inches of clear ice
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Lila Darkmatter: beautiful but a lot of trouble, I imagine
Eos Amaterasu: to say the least!
stevenaia Michinaga: difficult to wait when until it melts, if it never gets above freezing
Eos Amaterasu: here we are constantly going through some level of temp cycles
Eos Amaterasu: - 12 to 12
Eos Amaterasu: hits the spot
Eos Amaterasu: that sweet spot
Eos Amaterasu: the triple point
Eos Amaterasu: air / water / ice
Eos Amaterasu: essence of freshness
Lila Darkmatter: ways of movement
Eos Amaterasu: breath
Eos Amaterasu: I hope that kind of experience is still common

--BELL--

Lila Darkmatter: my camera was hooked onto stevenaia as she flew away... will send you the photo via emails :)

Eos Amaterasu: oh, yeah, funny when that happens
Lila Darkmatter: and there is the ritual of exiting through the top, then lingering in the air...haha
Lila Darkmatter: finding ways to milk the enjoyment I guess :)
Lila Darkmatter: last week you said something regarding relating to my comment re recommitment... if you remembered, I wonder if you would care to say a little more?
Eos Amaterasu tries to remember

Eos Amaterasu: still trying to recall...
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Lila Darkmatter: perhaps the snow has reconnected you naturally
Lila Darkmatter: a blanket...cocooning
Lila Darkmatter: grounding happens in so many ways... didn't realize til lately, even water is grounding
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Eos Amaterasu: oh, yes, but it's still inside the floating world bubble
Eos Amaterasu: sorry, just ungrounded :-)
Lila Darkmatter: hmmm
Lila Darkmatter smiles
Eos Amaterasu: the simple things ground
Eos Amaterasu: how's your weather?
Lila Darkmatter: exquisite today

Lila Darkmatter: truly
Eos Amaterasu: how's _your_ weather? :-)
Lila Darkmatter smiles
Eos Amaterasu: exquisite?
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Lila Darkmatter: restless, creative, moments of exquisiteness, blissful appreciations and myriad moments of uncanny
Lila Darkmatter: less edited
Eos Amaterasu: can't ken the un canny
Lila Darkmatter: have you seen American Beauty, the film?
Eos Amaterasu: yes, a while back
Lila Darkmatter: there is just so much that is messy and chaotic and then a character has filmed this plastic bag in the wind... or rather a hm dustwhirl..
Lila Darkmatter: (trying to remember term)
Lila Darkmatter: but the bag is dancing
Eos Amaterasu: movement again
Lila Darkmatter: and he sees
Lila Darkmatter: yes, movement
Eos Amaterasu: what is that seeing?
Lila Darkmatter: some essential point , recognition

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: in the movement you're a partner of live?
Lila Darkmatter: precise openness
Eos Amaterasu: olympic
Lila Darkmatter: yesss..... the way of ice with a skater
Eos Amaterasu: interesting, yes.... the ice is turning to water under the skate
Lila Darkmatter: you know I get those little Trungpa quotes from carolyn, and one this year has stayed with me so much, walking around with me .. although I'm sure I paraphrase...
Eos Amaterasu listens
Lila Darkmatter: "You could do so much (for/with?) the world, if you would just be precise."
Lila Darkmatter: the conveyance is more than the words... some feeling of pointing... very matterful :)
Eos Amaterasu: yes, that's devotion
Eos Amaterasu: sent you a photo of mr luminosity
Lila Darkmatter: of course just so stunned by the precision of athletes.. precisely honed... devoted, and submitted in a sense.. because they have to allow themselves to be worked with
Daedalus687 Resident: Hi
Lila Darkmatter: Oh! Let me see...
Lila Darkmatter: Hi Daedelus :)
Eos Amaterasu: hi Daedalus!
Lila Darkmatter: Thank you, Eos! Perfect! Such a wise childlike photo :))
Lila Darkmatter: lol have tears... hm
Lila Darkmatter: How doing tonight Daedelus... seems your head is flying off your shoulders!
Eos Amaterasu: sounds like a magritte ribbon image
Daedalus687 Resident: well thank you
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Daedalus687 Resident: Any text recommendations?
Lila Darkmatter: not sure there is anything along the lines of TSK to recommend... but I'm (still) reading Longchenpa
Lila Darkmatter: what are you reading, Eos?
Eos Amaterasu: umm....
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Eos Amaterasu: Longchenpa is by my right shoulder
Eos Amaterasu: Trungpa on my left
Eos Amaterasu: as I sit here
Lila Darkmatter: wings :)
Lila Darkmatter: what are you interested in reading about Daedelus?
Daedalus687 Resident: Hm, maybe 'sacred geometry'
Daedalus687 Resident: geometric construction
Eos Amaterasu: like Pythagoras?
Daedalus687 Resident: sure
Eos Amaterasu thinks geometry, or topology, is sacred
Daedalus687 Resident: Alternative languages I think
Lila Darkmatter: I listened to an interesting interview on a radio blog program called "Sounds True"
Eos Amaterasu: :-)

--BELL--

Lila Darkmatter: it was about chakras.. and although i'm interested in that... not always so deeply or dimensionally in a way as to see what is described
Lila Darkmatter: found that afterward I could sort of read devotional images better, if that makes sense... language underneath language feeling
Lila Darkmatter: the woman's way of relating really unfolded the idea
Lila Darkmatter: "The Chakra Journey" is what the episode was called
Eos Amaterasu: your centers, their centers?
Lila Darkmatter: :) well like one has the sense when spending time with sri yantra, that everything is there
Lila Darkmatter: well, 'there' not the right word...but :)
Lila Darkmatter: that may not be quite as secular as what might be appreciated
Eos Amaterasu: well, must go off...
Eos Amaterasu: btw, at the very beginning of the session,
Eos Amaterasu: [19:02] Eos Amaterasu: Eos' song of the day, David Bowie, Live Acoustic "Heroes" : 
Lila Darkmatter: thank you Eos, night :)
Lila Darkmatter clicks
Eos Amaterasu: night Lila! night daedalus!
Lila Darkmatter: me too actually.. so sleepy, and intended to stay just moments
Daedalus687 Resident: bye bye
Lila Darkmatter: bye :)
