Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: Love is not puffed up (like my robe)
Adams Rubble: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Riddle Sideways: Love is not a Hallmark card
Riddle Sideways: but plays one today

Adams Rubble: This reminds me of something someone sent me this week if I can remember it properly
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: it was the difference between empathy and sympathy
Riddle Sideways: /waiting for memory

Adams Rubble: someone states a problem to you
Adams Rubble: someothing serious
Adams Rubble: sympathy--at least it was not xxxxxxxxxxxx
Adams Rubble: empathy : I don;t know what to say
Adams Rubble: the second, feeling the person;s pain
Adams Rubble: the first creating separation between the person's pain and oneself

Riddle Sideways: am the one cracking a not funny joke
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: It is very hard to be perfect :)
Adams Rubble: (that was a not funny joke)

Riddle Sideways: so easy to not try to start toward perfect
Riddle Sideways: good that son and daughter learned that stuff in school

Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: there is a current phrase ...
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: think it is "Authentic Listening"
Adams Rubble: Thank you
Adams Rubble: something to think about
Adams Rubble: we are all doing too much talking these days
Adams Rubble: and not listening
Riddle Sideways: yes

Adams Rubble: of course if we just listen in PaB and not talk there will be no log :)
Riddle Sideways: :) yep
Riddle Sideways: we both just sat listening to the other listen
Adams Rubble listens to the fountain

Riddle Sideways: yesterday Eden gave many links that were later 'Listened' to
Riddle Sideways: slowly
Riddle Sideways: pausing often
Riddle Sideways: at least one was in that "News'y quick voice reporting
Riddle Sideways: so pausing the playback
Riddle Sideways: allowed 9-seconds to listen
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: Rap was/is too fast for processing
Riddle Sideways: needed the pause
Riddle Sideways: to hear
Riddle Sideways: and laugh e.g. President Agent Orange
Riddle Sideways: or John Oliver making funny quips
Riddle Sideways: and explaining to us "children"
Riddle Sideways: yet when listened to
Riddle Sideways: is very serious
               --BELL--
Adams Rubble still thinking about the 9 seconds :)
Riddle Sideways: yes

Riddle Sideways: museums afford us that
Riddle Sideways: was thinking of your exhibit, museum, gallery and that experience

Adams Rubble: once upon a time a great teacher came into this virtual world and taught us that 9 seconds could do wonders for us
Riddle Sideways: (chat ends there)
Riddle Sideways: the length of a long slow breath
Adams Rubble apologizes for ending chat
Riddle Sideways: the centering of one breath
Riddle Sideways: no!
Riddle Sideways: complicated or extended by the next breath
Riddle Sideways: the phenomenon of one breath followed by another
Riddle Sideways: the cycle going on
Riddle Sideways: yet different
Riddle Sideways: once upon a time there was a Person in this virtual world who did those breathe exercises
Adams Rubble: :)
