Riddle Sideways: you look ok, maybe a little ashen
Riddle Sideways: are you well?
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: my avatar health seems to be weak :)
Adams Rubble: otherwise I am well and hope you are
Riddle Sideways: not sure what avatar is trying to project, but RL body is got a cold
Adams Rubble: sorry to hear that. summer colds can be a nuissance
Riddle Sideways: yes, messes up the fun in the sun
Riddle Sideways: it is at that point of decision. to continue home rememdies or go to drugs
Adams Rubble: Is that a Michael jackson avatar?
Adams Rubble: I hope you can beat the cold soon
Riddle Sideways: think it is. yet MJ had so many looks over the years
Riddle Sideways: somewhere found this for free and was trying it on
Adams Rubble decides not to make a joke about monkey mind

Riddle Sideways: many times PaB has discussed appearances affecting chat
Riddle Sideways: but, can't remember the outcome :)
Adams Rubble: hehe
Riddle Sideways: is Adams more comfortable chatting with an elephant, vaporous cloud or Michael Jackson?
Adams Rubble: outcomes do not seem to be a trait of PaB discussions
Riddle Sideways: no they don't
Adams Rubble can chat with whatever it is you got
Adams Rubble: this is fine
Adams Rubble: The elephant in the room is the discussion in email but I have lost the ability to read the long missals
Adams Rubble is content to drive her tiger
Riddle Sideways: ah, yes, seem to have lost that also
Riddle Sideways: am currently looked for Eliza's reprint (post?)
Adams Rubble: yes only 28 pages :)

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: the email train is scattered
Adams Rubble: Dubrovna is redoing the Islamic wing in the Islamic wing in the museum
Adams Rubble: taking up our spare time
Adams Rubble: all of the good islamic sites have gone from SL
Adams Rubble: so the museum will have to do adjust
Riddle Sideways: yes, you mentioned that was a big maintainance job
Adams Rubble: The other traditions will have to wait
Adams Rubble: makes it hard to concentrate on the definitions of the mind
Adams Rubble: and looking at rocks
Adams Rubble: It is nice to see Piet so animated though
Adams Rubble: Pema
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: good to see/read everybody so animated
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: however, isn't it some avs point to mess with those stuck definitions of the mind
Adams Rubble: I wonder if there is a general tendency for us to get stuck somewhere
Riddle Sideways: :) so many ways to answer that
Adams Rubble waits
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: mostly, it would involve the rolling downhill and settling in a rut when not enough effort put in
Adams Rubble: hmm
Adams Rubble: that would be one answer :)
Adams Rubble: My stuckness seems to involve much effort though

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: many of the other answers were sic jokes
Adams Rubble: :) sic and/or sick?
Riddle Sideways: both
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: stuckness - another fav subject around here
Adams Rubble: we have gotten stuck on that?
Riddle Sideways: yes :)
Riddle Sideways: even after long periods of discussions on particular words 'should' not have the weightiness
Adams Rubble: I'm stuck on stuckness I've got this feeling down Deep in my soul That I just can't lose
Adams Rubble apologizes to Lionel Ritchie
Adams Rubble: I guess what I am hearing is that sometimes we need to lighten up?
Riddle Sideways: yes, somehow
Riddle Sideways: lightening up
Riddle Sideways: eases the heavyiness
Adams Rubble: in religious traditions, the rituals kind of do that
Adams Rubble: take us out of ourselves
Adams Rubble: a little different effect than meditation--at least the way i do it. hehe
Riddle Sideways: the Ah-Ha when a Koan solution is that most obious thing

Adams Rubble is thinking.. we all have grown in the past 6 years
Riddle Sideways: maybe :)
Adams Rubble: why is that not reflected in our discussions?
Adams Rubble: or is it?
Adams Rubble: hmm about the maybe :)
Riddle Sideways: the scribe person might have seen a trend
Adams Rubble: hmmm I wonder what ever happened to that scribe person
Riddle Sideways: burned out after doing such a great big job
Riddle Sideways: and us ingrates not voicing the appreiation
Adams Rubble: the discussions work best when we bring something to them
Riddle Sideways: ouch
Adams Rubble: do you think maybe we are waiting?
Adams Rubble did not mean that critically
Adams Rubble: maybe it is hard to sustain that
Riddle Sideways: for Gaddo (sp?)
Adams Rubble: for Godot?
Riddle Sideways: ty
Adams Rubble likes the Italian Godot

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: seems there is a big pile of things being waited for
Riddle Sideways: do humans all do that?
Adams Rubble: maybe for expectations to be fulfilled
Adams Rubble: we remember some wonderful discussions we had here
Adams Rubble: wonder why it is difficult to do that every time

Adams Rubble: Pema and Stim used to give us homework of sorts that got us all on the same page
Adams Rubble: APABP
Adams Rubble: YSBS
Riddle Sideways: yes, that was hard
Riddle Sideways: waiting to die

Riddle Sideways: waiting for happiness
Adams Rubble sneaking lunch
Riddle Sideways: seems there is a list back there
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: There is so much to learn
Adams Rubble: makes life exciting while waiting for whatever
