The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

Eliza Madrigal: 's current display-name is "Eliza".
Eos Amaterasu: The pavilion switches tomorrow?
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: Bleu was checking out a few things since she'll remove this one
Eliza Madrigal: which I've really liked
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Eos Amaterasu: only thing I'd fiddle with would be the pool, or shape around it
Eliza Madrigal nods... that's what I feel too
Eos Amaterasu: thinking of circle in the middle
Eos Amaterasu: even if with square around it
Eliza Madrigal: that might be interesting
Eliza Madrigal: it is hard for me to choose between favorite domes so far though
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Eos Amaterasu: maybe each session could choose its pavilion :-)
Eliza Madrigal: but I'm really impressed with the maturity of designers to receive feedback
Eliza Madrigal: hah
Eos Amaterasu: hall of mirrors
Eos Amaterasu: or selfies
Eliza Madrigal: only if they wanted to rebuild and take it down each time
Eliza Madrigal: :))

Eliza Madrigal: what is interesting in your world these days Eos?
Eos Amaterasu: hmm
Eos Amaterasu: different lifestyle in urban apartment
Eos Amaterasu: with harbour view and close to water (saw the Queen Mary 2 the other day), and people
Eliza Madrigal: that sounds lovely actually
Eos Amaterasu: my meditative walks were in the woods
Eos Amaterasu: now more often among people
Eos Amaterasu: in the market with wondering eyes
Eos Amaterasu: (maybe wandering :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal: equanimity
Eos Amaterasu: A friend I was close with in college just died
Eliza Madrigal: oh dear, I'm sorry :(
Eos Amaterasu: equanimity :-( :-)
Eliza Madrigal: ((( ))) hard
Eos Amaterasu: another leaf node of awareness
Eliza Madrigal: mmmm, nods

Eos Amaterasu: how's Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal thinks....
Eliza Madrigal: happy with puppy
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: you mention appreciating urban setting...
Eliza Madrigal: today I was watching U-Haul trucks..
Eos Amaterasu: "there goes a truck"
Eliza Madrigal: which is a regular pass time of mine now, because this apartment complex seems to be for transitioners like me
Eliza Madrigal: so I keep watching people move in and out
Eos Amaterasu: the lifetime hotel
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eliza Madrigal: in almost 2 years that I've been here
Eliza Madrigal: I've met so few people
Eliza Madrigal: and know maybe 3 by name
Eliza Madrigal: until the dog :)
Eos Amaterasu thinks
Eos Amaterasu: maybe I know 5 by name in this apt
Eos Amaterasu: building
Eliza Madrigal: that's positive
Eliza Madrigal: being situated by the water doesn't sound as transient
Eliza Madrigal: think you'll like it there for a while?
Eos Amaterasu: lots of positives, especially the view (I'm on south-east corner, can see harbour as well as South-End Hfx)
Eos Amaterasu: sense of light
Eos Amaterasu: very small
Eos Amaterasu: perhaps too small
Eliza Madrigal: marvelous view, qualities
Eliza Madrigal: perhaps the size pushes you out for walks
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: I had a bunch of people here the other night (maybe 5)

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: maxed out the seating
Eliza Madrigal: :)) intimate friends
Eos Amaterasu: (watching live streaming of last Grateful Dead concert...)
Eliza Madrigal: oooh, Chicago
Eos Amaterasu: kind of an event... the tweets were very funny to follow... made it more global....
Eliza Madrigal suddenly realizes she missed out :)
Eos Amaterasu: ohhh :-(
Eliza Madrigal: I remember a friend renting an enormous tv for a concert many moons ago... lots of people filling up his back yard, good experience. Still can feel the feeling
Eos Amaterasu: #couchtour was the hashtag :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: btw, fyi, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHo1fNnXFVU
Eliza Madrigal clicks
Eliza Madrigal: I'll have to open on other computer later... not sure why but sound isn't working
Eliza Madrigal: maybe due to pulling puppy out of wires :)
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: like having a toddler again
Eos Amaterasu: puppy has some unconditional quality
Eliza Madrigal: total openness
Eliza Madrigal: instant love
Eliza Madrigal: sharp teeth
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: hah

Eos Amaterasu: how'z yr health?
Eliza Madrigal: mmm...
Eliza Madrigal: right this second I'm doing very well
Eos Amaterasu: hmmm
Eliza Madrigal: I believe I'm on an upswing
Eliza Madrigal: but have had some difficulties
Eliza Madrigal: especially the last month, with various ear and teeth issues
Eos Amaterasu: walking narrow steps of the path...
Eliza Madrigal: I've been spending so much time in hospitals and doc offices both with friends, family of friends, myself
Eliza Madrigal: I never thought of them as friendly places but I feel really comfortable
Eos Amaterasu: external membranes of care
Eliza Madrigal: when visiting, there enough to become part of the culture
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: another in between sort of space
Eos Amaterasu: bardo
Eliza Madrigal: mhm
Eos Amaterasu: moment by moment
Eos Amaterasu: we be being
Eliza Madrigal: and knowledge of that sustained

Eliza Madrigal: hm, that's something that I keep thinking about lately, in terms of practice
Eliza Madrigal: though it is a strange thing to articulate..
Eos Amaterasu perks ears
Eliza Madrigal: sustained notes
Eliza Madrigal: as in, memory and attention is brought to places
Eliza Madrigal: intentionally, for periods of time, blinking in and out or contextual
Eliza Madrigal: but then there are times when it doesn't fall
Eliza Madrigal: just keeps going in a more sustained sort of way
Eliza Madrigal: no real question but seems good to sketch edges sometimes
Eos Amaterasu: sketching edges.... yes.... better than filling spaces
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eos Amaterasu: a good pavilion sketches edges :-)
Eliza Madrigal: true
Eliza Madrigal: and sustains openness in conversation
Eliza Madrigal: and you, health wise? all well?

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: taking good care?
Eos Amaterasu: walking my own ever narrower path, ok now
Eliza Madrigal: didn't realize... glad to hear "ok now"
Eliza Madrigal: (one sec... barking...)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm concerned that I will be fined if he loses favor with my neighbors :)))
Eos Amaterasu: need a big yard
Eliza Madrigal: well, that can't happen :)
Eliza Madrigal: I take him out every day, and will more when he has next vaccinations
Eliza Madrigal: good for both of us, but I think he is having "happy hour" like the kids used to at a certain time of night
Eliza Madrigal: suddenly energetic
Eliza Madrigal: burst of alive
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Eos Amaterasu: used to feel that when taking my dog for a walk: her awareness lively-ing up
Eliza Madrigal: a nice feeling, like surfing
Eliza Madrigal: I remember your dog.... photo in livingroom
Eliza Madrigal: beautiful, memorable
Eos Amaterasu: White Tara
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Eliza Madrigal: ah, I know what I'd like to ask you...
Eliza Madrigal: any thoughts on the little retreat and do you think you can make it?
Eos Amaterasu: oh yes, I definitely want to make it
Eliza Madrigal: I was thrown off by the infection and now am stirring the plans again
Eliza Madrigal: any ideas about general themes? not to stick with but to hold lightly?
Eos Amaterasu: I like idea of framing SL retreat time within some days of 99-days style reporting
Eliza Madrigal: me too....
Eos Amaterasu: pavilion in everyday life
Eliza Madrigal: but do receive feedback not to be too definite on suggestions
Eos Amaterasu: maybe that continuity note you were mentioning
Eliza Madrigal listens
Eliza Madrigal: (and yes! that's the word :))
Eos Amaterasu: listening to echo of ((( )))
Eos Amaterasu: maybe finding that in other people
Eliza Madrigal: that rings so nicely, but can you describe what you mean?
Eos Amaterasu: maybe that's a light form of "recollection"
Eos Amaterasu: catching whiff of echo of the space in the middle
Eos Amaterasu: middle of me, middle of we
Eliza Madrigal: hmmm yes I see
Eliza Madrigal: that's a very helpful pointer I think
Eliza Madrigal: for all of us

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: I'm very glad you will make it
Eliza Madrigal: still have to pin down times
Eos Amaterasu: As in what Mickey Hart, drummer, said at end of final concert:

The feeling we have here — remember it, take it home and do some good with it.
I’ll leave you with this: Please, be kind.

Eliza Madrigal: Perfect
Eliza Madrigal: that's incredible
Eliza Madrigal: almost as good as Oh Wow Oh Wow Oh Wow :))
Eliza Madrigal: I'd like to peek upstairs before taking puppy out before bed....
Eliza Madrigal: but appreciate your wonderful company as always
Eliza Madrigal: and nice to catch up a bit
Eos Amaterasu: nice to spend some time with you, thnx
Eos Amaterasu: be ((( :-) )))
Eliza Madrigal: (((( and thee )))
Eliza Madrigal: night ^^
Eos Amaterasu: Ciao, Eliza
