stevenaia Michinaga: it's quite nice to move around when you can
stevenaia Michinaga: change coasts and time
Shufei Zenith: Oh, I daresay. Or continents.
stevenaia Michinaga: someday perhaps
Shufei Zenith: I'm readying to go on a bit of a walkabout, and am both daunted and hopeful in mixture.
stevenaia Michinaga: why daunted?
Shufei Zenith: But yes, jumping puddles is always a broadener.... Oh, it's a big move into unknown for me, big jump in faith.
Shufei Zenith: Selling my lil hovel.
stevenaia Michinaga: change is always exciting
Shufei Zenith: And going who knows where.
Shufei Zenith: Yesh, but exciting isn't my cuppa, generally.
Shufei Zenith: I like slow walks and quiet.
Shufei Zenith giggles softly.
stevenaia Michinaga: can Ia sk where from and to?
Shufei Zenith: Well, I live in a small desert town and will be just going... out there, I reckon.
Shufei Zenith: I'll be helping on the family farm a bit.

Shufei Zenith nods.
stevenaia Michinaga: there was an individual here who offered monthly discussions, I found it ever enlightening

--BELL--

Shufei Zenith: :>
Shufei Zenith: Not sure about the 90 second med.
Shufei Zenith shrugs
stevenaia Michinaga: meditation comes in many forms, sometimes jsut looking away for 90 seconds is enough
Shufei Zenith: Yesh. I remember them talking about a 9 second practice, and I still do that.
stevenaia Michinaga: how often do you give yourself the opportunitiy to pause for 90 seconds in the middle of something
Shufei Zenith: But it's also good to accord with conditions in a flow of events... I mean, it can also disrupt that, if you take my meaning.
stevenaia Michinaga: I believe that is the point :)
Shufei Zenith nods.
stevenaia Michinaga: even the 9 seconds do that nicely
Shufei Zenith: Yesh, especially when needful. I'm just not sure about the on the clock thing.
stevenaia Michinaga: I don;t remember you from the times when the group met elsewhere, are you an alt?
Shufei Zenith: No, I have alts, but haven't used in years.
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Shufei Zenith: It's not my tendency to do so.
stevenaia Michinaga: no matter, I have been here since very close to the begining, I would hate to have forgotten that we may ahve met much earlier
Shufei Zenith: Maybe we did! Good thing the world seems to remember when we don't... Probably we have forgotten alot of important meetings and opportunities...
Shufei Zenith: Lordy, I sure have.
Shufei Zenith: But it's ok, here we are. :>
Shufei Zenith: And fishes.
Shufei Zenith waves to fishes.
Shufei Zenith: Oh...
Shufei Zenith: I was going to suggest, if you live in a big city? Find your chinese section of the librarya and they have books with caligraphy to copy...
Shufei Zenith: Like, a caligraphy section.
Shufei Zenith: With famous examples of one character each book.
Shufei Zenith: It's fun.
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, that will be the next step
stevenaia Michinaga: youtube has some videos as well
Shufei Zenith: Hehe, no doubt!
Shufei Zenith: The summa of human knowledge.
Shufei Zenith: I've been doing refurbishing and repairing. Great vids for anything you like to do.

Shufei Zenith: And then add your name to the report.
