2015.07.24 13:00 - 200 Days with Camels and a Dog

The Guardian for this meeting was Yaku!

Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Yaku!
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey aph!
Yakuzza Lethecus: long time no see
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. I know!
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm rarely in SL these days
Yakuzza Lethecus: i am not so often here either

Aphrodite Macbain: how are you and the family?
Yakuzza Lethecus: very well, started vacation yesterday
Aphrodite Macbain: are you going to travel?
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, with the car to germany
Aphrodite Macbain: to visit family?
Yakuzza Lethecus: well for me 1100km is a lot but talking to canadians or ppl from the usa makes it sound so short
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes
Yakuzza Lethecus: mainly
Aphrodite Macbain: It's still a lot

Aphrodite Macbain: I hope you take the small roads and explore....
Yakuzza Lethecus: nah, main road overnight
Yakuzza Lethecus: but i think when our son remembers more things
Yakuzza Lethecus: next year
Aphrodite Macbain: autobahn all the way :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: He must be 2 now!
Yakuzza Lethecus: not exactly, sweden only allowes up to 130km/h
Yakuzza Lethecus: same as danmark
Yakuzza Lethecus: 1 3/4
Aphrodite Macbain: here the limit is 120 km/h
Yakuzza Lethecus: he talks a bit and starts singing
Aphrodite Macbain: aww

--BELL--

Aphrodite Macbain: Do you take turns looking after him?
Yakuzza Lethecus: ah, from the first time we learned its better to just sit with him
Yakuzza Lethecus: so yes
Aphrodite Macbain: and teach him songs.....
Aphrodite Macbain: do you have a photo?
Yakuzza Lethecus: second
Aphrodite Macbain: k

[gorgeous!]

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aph, Yaku
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Eliza!
Eliza Madrigal: beautiful dress, Aph. Hope you aren't sweltering near this fire!
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey eliza
Aphrodite Macbain: smiles
Aphrodite Macbain: Thank you.
Aphrodite Macbain: Finally it's raining here
Eliza Madrigal: nice
Eliza Madrigal: we've had little storms daily for about a week - love it
Aphrodite Macbain: so my only concern is the virtual fire
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: the fire sounds very cozy
Eliza Madrigal: oh yes, you'd had major fires there before right?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: still some burning
Eliza Madrigal: :(

Yakuzza Lethecus: weren´t there fires around miami too ?
Aphrodite Macbain: I dont know- the whole west coast of the US and Canada had a drought
Eliza Madrigal: we usually have them but summer weather pattern seems to be good this year
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Eliza Madrigal: scary on the west coast. Ours rarely reach home areas etc

Aphrodite Macbain: hard to know what is climate change caused by humans and which is change called by nature

Eliza Madrigal: can only be known in retrospect years down the road
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Eliza Madrigal: but seems pretty obvious we are not helping
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: our water use is severely restructured atm

Aphrodite Macbain:How is it going with the retreat Eliza.
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm still trying to see if I have an intent or focus
Eliza Madrigal: everyone rethinking lawns and such
Eliza Madrigal: nothing to go really :)
Eliza Madrigal: I've intentionally kept it vague and simple
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Eliza Madrigal: because I think that's the general feeling...
Eliza Madrigal: that RLs are busy and full now...
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Eliza Madrigal: so no pressure :)
Eliza Madrigal: just a time to gather and reflect a little

Yakuzza Lethecus: you have the sl retreat right now ?
Eliza Madrigal: ok to attend just one or two sessions too, Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: It feels like we are all very busy in RL now. Not sure if it's summer or a trend
Eliza Madrigal: next Thurs to Sat, Yaku
Aphrodite Macbain: Discussion is also on the wiki
Aphrodite Macbain: now
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: links come through emails
Eliza Madrigal: will go on until Aug 4, I believe

Aphrodite Macbain: I should take a peek. It might motivate me
Eliza Madrigal: please do. varied check ins

Eliza Madrigal: the group rhythms are different for sure, in a way that prob won't go back...
Eliza Madrigal: just like water rations and climate change
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm busy studying Italian and painting in RL. Not sure how that will influence my retreat intentions
Eliza Madrigal: oh, wonderful
Eliza Madrigal: how is your Italian? I thought for sure you were already fluent
Aphrodite Macbain: la lingua italiana e bellissima!
Eliza Madrigal: :))

Yakuzza Lethecus: are you still teaching ?

--BELL--

Aphrodite Macbain: No- I have a bad memory so I need to keep studying. Right now I'm taking a conversation course. Yes but not in the summer Yaku. I start again in the fall.
Aphrodite Macbain: Yaku's off on a drive to Germany Eliza....with 1.5 yr old son in tow
Yakuzza Lethecus: hehe you need a houseswap for a year with someone in italy
Aphrodite Macbain: yes!
Aphrodite Macbain: I just have to figure out what to do with 2 cats...
Eliza Madrigal: nice, Yaku! Love road trips...am itching for one myself
Eliza Madrigal: they may be OK with cats
Eliza Madrigal: part of their adventure
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)

Yakuzza Lethecus: hehe, i just try to get it over with, your approach sounds more inspirational :)
Aphrodite Macbain: not sure if they would like to travel and whether they would be allowed in (quarantine)
Eliza Madrigal: a friend came to spend some days in an apartment here last year, and had to take care of 5 cats in little place, some of which lived in cabinets etc. - all high needs - was pretty funny
Aphrodite Macbain: I needto find someone to move into my place for a year.
Eliza Madrigal: not to her, but to me :)
Aphrodite Macbain: 5 cats! yikes!
Eliza Madrigal: and some didn't like each other
Eliza Madrigal giggles thinking about it
Aphrodite Macbain: my cats fight too
Aphrodite Macbain: mother and son
Eliza Madrigal: surprising

Aphrodite Macbain: I often wonder what the neighbours think of the squaking racket
Aphrodite Macbain: she screetches and he moans
Eliza Madrigal: better than barking or crying babies, they probably feel :)
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: If you went on a car trip, would you go with your children?
Eliza Madrigal: oh, sure. Have done many times
Eliza Madrigal: but next time prob only bringing son and puppy
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: nice
Aphrodite Macbain: regular pit stops for both....
Eliza Madrigal: I have enough family acquaintances now to make it to N Carolina at least
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Is that a very long drive?
Eliza Madrigal: not really
Eliza Madrigal: a day if just me [actually a day to SC, bit more to NC]
Aphrodite Macbain: perfect
Eliza Madrigal: but with others prob 2-3
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey aga
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aggers :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'd love to go into Canada again though
Agatha Macbeth: Evening all

Aphrodite Macbain: I suggested to Yaku that he take all the small roads....but he is bound to taking the autobahn freeway
Agatha Macbeth: Who's going to Canada?
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Qt :)
Qt Core: Hi all
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Aggers, Qt
Eliza Madrigal: I've never spent time on west coast aside from small jaunts to california
Yakuzza Lethecus: it will be raining all day and i like to lieave in the afternoon and arriving for breakfast
Agatha Macbeth: Buona sera Qt
Aphrodite Macbain: Nobody I know Aggers :-(
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey qt
Aphrodite Macbain: fee free to visit any time
Eliza Madrigal: you are okay driving all night, Yaku?
Agatha Macbeth: No retreats there then?
Eliza Madrigal: Hey Qt :))
Yakuzza Lethecus: evelyn have the day
Yakuzza Lethecus: i through the night
Eliza Madrigal: ahh
Aphrodite Macbain: retreats in Canada?
Aphrodite Macbain: why not?
Agatha Macbeth: Could take the huskies
Eliza Madrigal: would be nice, sigh :) but back to previous notion that we can't 'go back to way things were'
Aphrodite Macbain: tho you are not allowed to have camp fires atm

Agatha Macbeth: Yes I hope you can breathe OK now
Eliza Madrigal: breathing is good :)
Aphrodite Macbain: It helps
Agatha Macbeth: Well it helps
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: snap
Aphrodite Macbain: the rain also helps

Agatha Macbeth: Thought Australia got bush fires not Canada
Aphrodite Macbain: we get fires every summer. This is the worst so far though
Agatha Macbeth: Dear me
Aphrodite Macbain toasts her hot dog on the fire
Agatha Macbeth: Hope Wol's family are alright
Eliza Madrigal nods
Yakuzza Lethecus: she wasn´t here for 2 weeks
Eliza Madrigal: prob would have mentioned if that area was in danger zone
Aphrodite Macbain: No fires in their neck of the woods Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Good
Agatha Macbeth: Weather eh
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Hasn't stopped raining here all day
Aphrodite Macbain: Concrete and brick don't burn
Agatha Macbeth: Not very well no
Agatha Macbeth: Wolves can't blow them down either
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Eliza Madrigal: love days like that, if you don't need to drive a lot. I think I'd do well in England or Washington State
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Eliza Madrigal has a gloomy disposition maybe
Aphrodite Macbain: or Vancouver in the winter...
Agatha Macbeth: Interesting combination
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Eliza Madrigal: both rainy climates, Aggers
Aphrodite Macbain: Rainy days demand less of you.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh j'comprends
Aphrodite Macbain: You dont feel like you should be doing something outside
Agatha Macbeth: Rainy day women
Eliza Madrigal nods
Aphrodite Macbain: smiles

--BELL--

Qt Core: i'd like that, a rainy place, but no snow
Eliza Madrigal: some kind of permission to be quieter and slower, turn inward a bit
Aphrodite Macbain: It rarely goes below freezing here
Agatha Macbeth: In-house retreat
Aphrodite Macbain: yes Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: summer is so much pressure... supposed to be having fun fun fun all the time
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: darn fun
Eliza Madrigal: hahah
Qt Core: in summer i prefer having fan fan fan
Eliza Madrigal: :)) yes
Agatha Macbeth: You should move to the Alps Qt
Aphrodite Macbain: In Vancouver, sunny days are usually very rare for 9 months of the year
Eliza Madrigal: Vancouver it is then
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: About the same here
Aphrodite Macbain: so people go out in hoards as soon as the sun appears
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: I gather it's like that in Sweden too, no Yaku?
Yakuzza Lethecus: oh yes, especially this summer
Eliza Madrigal: I enjoy seeing that in other places... right after winter, parks packed with people and activity, everything beginning to bloom and mass appreciation
Yakuzza Lethecus: we haven't had much
Agatha Macbeth ponders mass appreciation
Yakuzza Lethecus: germany is often sunny and hot on the weathermap but we get 20 degrees and rain
Aphrodite Macbain: mass smiling
Agatha Macbeth: Mass ratio
Eliza Madrigal smiles in solidarity
Yakuzza Lethecus: just read somewhere we had the hottest summer in history, NOT HERE
Qt Core: double that for northern italy, Yaku ;-)
Aphrodite Macbain: your meteorologists are optimists
Eliza Madrigal: not an exact science after all ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: wiggle room
Agatha Macbeth: You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
Aphrodite Macbain chews on her hot dog
Aphrodite Macbain: and thinks about the weather
Eliza Madrigal looks for her hot dog... too quiet atm, brb
Agatha Macbeth: He's probably on the bed asleep
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Eliza Madrigal: close, at foot of the sofa. he wouldn't nap with me earlier was too hyper and kept leaping at my face
Agatha Macbeth: He was or you were?

Aphrodite Macbain: has anyone seen the movie Tracks?
Eliza Madrigal: :) he was
Aphrodite Macbain: about a woman who walked across Australia
Eliza Madrigal: no, haven't heard of it...
Agatha Macbeth: By George she's got it
Aphrodite Macbain: with camels
Agatha Macbeth: Wasn't Mira was it?
Eliza Madrigal: oh, wow
Aphrodite Macbain: he he I dont think so!
Eliza Madrigal: wonder if on netflix
Aphrodite Macbain: It's a veryinspiring film
Aphrodite Macbain: Came out last year
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- I watched it on Netflix last night
Agatha Macbeth: You old netflicker you
Eliza Madrigal: excellent, have something for the weekend

Aphrodite Macbain: I was thinking about the relationship with her dog...
Aphrodite Macbain: so loving and close
Aphrodite Macbain: although her camels were pretty nice too
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Aphrodite Macbain: she walked for about 200 days
Aphrodite Macbain: alone
Aphrodite Macbain: with camels and dog
Agatha Macbeth: You can do that in Australia
Aphrodite Macbain: and the ocasional aborigine for guidance through sacred territory
Agatha Macbeth: Plenty of space
Eliza Madrigal: ooh
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: hot, dry space

Agatha Macbeth: The Dreamtime
Eliza Madrigal nods
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Agatha Macbeth nods
Aphrodite Macbain: they locate themselves through dreamlines....
Aphrodite Macbain: I dont quite understand how it works
Aphrodite Macbain: lol Aggers    [Aggers takes out didjeridoo (sp?)]
Aphrodite Macbain: she needed one of those
Agatha Macbeth: You'll never guess who gave me this :P
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: I attended a talk about it once, remember being fascinated but the content disappeared
Eliza Madrigal: Um, Sunshine?
Agatha Macbeth: YESSS!
Eliza Madrigal: :) ::smacks head:::
Aphrodite Macbain: content disappeared?
Agatha Macbeth: Surprise surprise
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Eliza Madrigal: yes I've forgotten almost everything about it
Aphrodite Macbain: "those were the days"
Agatha Macbeth: Makes a change from a vuvu

Eliza Madrigal: I heard about a lucid dreaming short film too: https://vimeo.com/57240767

Agatha Macbeth: Wol usually takes part no?
Eliza Madrigal: usually, but haven't heard from her yet
Eliza Madrigal: and Eos will come

Agatha Macbeth: What days is it on?
Eliza Madrigal: Thurs-Sat
Eliza Madrigal: with wiki portion going on now

Agatha Macbeth: Saturday is always a problem for me
Eliza Madrigal: only meeting once a day this time, to keep it unburdensome
Eliza Madrigal: it would be okay not to come one day
Agatha Macbeth: Good idea
Eliza Madrigal: just say so :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ok then I will
Agatha Macbeth: What times?
Eliza Madrigal: yay, thanks
Eliza Madrigal: just 2pm
Eliza Madrigal: each day
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds good
Agatha Macbeth: So straight after Mick's dreams then

Eliza Madrigal: I've emailed Darren to see if he would like to lead a meditation one day
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Agatha Macbeth nods
Eliza Madrigal: sl retreats are admittedly an odd idea
Eliza Madrigal: but I've found them beneficial
Agatha Macbeth: Last year's I liked

Eliza Madrigal: like your tag, btw!
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, it's Sun's resi tag
Eliza Madrigal: lovely
Agatha Macbeth: I suggested she give us a special one :p
Eliza Madrigal: oh really, haha
Eliza Madrigal: smart though. do you have special powers?
Agatha Macbeth: Not that I know of
Agatha Macbeth: Unless you count charm and eloquence :p
Eliza Madrigal grins
Eliza Madrigal: I do
Agatha Macbeth: It's a dog's life
Eliza Madrigal: not sure that applies to my dog... living pretty well :))
Agatha Macbeth: Or you live it for him ;-)

Eliza Madrigal: I have to admit that the dog was a sneaky move on my part
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, how so?
Eliza Madrigal: I'm able to get my son to go all kinds of places and do things he might scoff at, for and with the dog
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: Good thinking Moriarty
Eliza Madrigal: I love to hear him play with George, and be unserious for long stretches
Agatha Macbeth: You mean he can be serious? Erk
Eliza Madrigal: feels like home again
Agatha Macbeth: Home sweet home
Eliza Madrigal: :) he is sarcastic and joking... but usually seriously :P
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Agatha Macbeth ponders that
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Is he more like you or father?
Eliza Madrigal: hard to say
Eliza Madrigal: I feel that he is more like me in general but has some pessimism that is more like his dad
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Eliza Madrigal: his dad projects a lot of "life is out to get me"
Agatha Macbeth: Know how he feels sometimes
Eliza Madrigal: and A isn't like that but he does feel the weight of "why is the world like this?!?!"
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Eliza Madrigal: he sees a bit too clearly sometimes :)

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Yes, that can be a problem
Eliza Madrigal: but I think that's different than making war with everything
Eliza Madrigal: a line in You've Got Mail (film): "she makes coffee nervous" - that is like his dad, hah

Agatha Macbeth: Yes better to make war selectively :p
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal: count the cost beforehand, etc.....
Agatha Macbeth: Colateral damage
Eliza Madrigal: not everything can be a big damn deal you know :)
Agatha Macbeth: But it helps
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Eliza Madrigal: you don't seem that way at all
Eliza Madrigal: maybe reformed?
Agatha Macbeth: Moi?
Eliza Madrigal nods
Agatha Macbeth: I just blame it all on religion
Eliza Madrigal: how so
Agatha Macbeth: I can always say being Catholic makes you like this :p
Eliza Madrigal grins
Agatha Macbeth: YOU SINNAH :p
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eliza Madrigal: Protestantism is the same in some lines, but more confusing
Agatha Macbeth: One can but imagine
Eliza Madrigal: never quite sure where the lines are
Agatha Macbeth: Or the coach's bench
Eliza Madrigal nods

Eliza Madrigal: an article today said that 35% of US is now categorized "none"
Agatha Macbeth: None what?
Eliza Madrigal: when asked what religion they identify with
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Eliza Madrigal: world is changing fast

Agatha Macbeth: Most peoples' religion seems to be ME these days
Eliza Madrigal: that's the worry I guess
Agatha Macbeth: Which if there is no I can be a problem

Eliza Madrigal: but if people continue to seek meaning they may do so in work for others...
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
Eliza Madrigal: true that
Agatha Macbeth: 'Don't say we'
Eliza Madrigal: we is a big group ptsd trigger
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Eliza Madrigal: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0a9b948535f3a
Agatha Macbeth: Crazy boy Dash
Eliza Madrigal: the article (for reference) about community without religion
Agatha Macbeth nods
Eliza Madrigal: ::stops to wish him well:::

Agatha Macbeth: A country-wide breakdown of that would be interesting
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: not all countries experience religion the same anyway
Agatha Macbeth: See where those 35% are
Agatha Macbeth: Oh of course not
Agatha Macbeth: For much of the third world it is still part of everyday life
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eliza Madrigal: and the idea of one god who has the one playbook is strange to many
Agatha Macbeth: Mm
Eliza Madrigal: if not taken literally, I think religion is really beautiful
Agatha Macbeth: Akhenaten started that :p
Eliza Madrigal smiles, so they say
Eliza Madrigal: he was about 'me' perhaps :P
Agatha Macbeth: Probably not, they didn't have that kind of mentality then
Eliza Madrigal: systems of rulership and control were pretty important though
Eliza Madrigal: getting everyone on board with this or that somehow
Eliza Madrigal: grand visions

Agatha Macbeth: Well the Pharaoh was the go-between for the god(s) and the people
Agatha Macbeth: More like a pope than a ruler
Eliza Madrigal: and moses in the pharaoh model?
Agatha Macbeth: Tho that changed a lot post-Hyksos
Agatha Macbeth: Oh Moses...there's a whole book on it's own
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: making the link
Agatha Macbeth: Whole library in fact
Agatha Macbeth: And Aaron
Eliza Madrigal: looking at patterns

Agatha Macbeth: And I'm pretty sure Miriam had a lot more to do with things than we're told
Eliza Madrigal: would be great to be told
Agatha Macbeth: Only unearthing documents and artifacts can tell us sadly...
Agatha Macbeth: So many vested interests have re-written history
Eliza Madrigal: fear is that documents and artifacts have been unearthed and done away with, and yes... the thing is, few women, even when educated and able to write, probably had written items that were valued enough to be kept

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: but traces here and there
Agatha Macbeth: Always traces :p
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: And archetypes that won't lie down
Eliza Madrigal: haha, there you go
Agatha Macbeth: Mm

Eliza Madrigal: Okay.... it is that time
Agatha Macbeth: Doggy time?
Eliza Madrigal: hopefully he will sleep while I make noodles
Agatha Macbeth: Until he smells em
Eliza Madrigal: :) hard to keep snacks from him and he is too little for many
Eliza Madrigal: anyway, hugs, and I like the white a lot
Agatha Macbeth: Yes makes a change from black :p
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Fallen angels...
Eliza Madrigal: ping wollie and say to check in
Agatha Macbeth: Yes hope she's OK
Eliza Madrigal: few updates, so me too
Agatha Macbeth: Probably busy
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eliza Madrigal: natural after traveling
Eliza Madrigal: but anyway, stops to wish well :)
Agatha Macbeth: And WoWing
Agatha Macbeth: Yep
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: bfn
Agatha Macbeth: TC x
