Adams Rubble: :)))
Eliza Madrigal: hot, a little breeze though... just in from a longer walk than usual because it is quite pleasant
Eden Haiku: Or is it watering down?
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Vishnu’s dream

Adams Rubble: falling down
Eliza Madrigal turns up her complexity to see Eden
Eden Haiku: has a children song in her head
Riddle Sideways:has almost nothing in head
Eliza Madrigal: snow means never having to say you're sorry
Eliza Madrigal grins
Eliza Madrigal: oops kettle, brb
Eden Haiku: Row row row your boat, gently down the stream
Adams Rubble: unless you park in the place your neighbor just shoveled out
Eden Haiku: Merrily merrily merrily
Riddle Sideways: Life is But a dream
Adams Rubble: Vishnu
Adams Rubble: s dream
Riddle Sideways: then says 'sorry' for finishing your song
Eden Haiku: Life is but a dream (imagining Adams's neighbor face when he realizes she parked in his shoveled place)
Eden Haiku: giggles at Riddle
Eliza Madrigal: back, laughing :)
Eden Haiku: Vishnu?
Riddle Sideways: the dream
Eden Haiku: loves Vishnu
Eden Haiku: In his Rama's avatar especially
Eden Haiku: He incarnated to fight the demons :)
Eden Haiku: Embodies the essence of "dharma": doing one's duty...
Eliza Madrigal dreamed last week some time, that someone made a mural on my wall and wrote at the top "Nama Ramaya"... but I'm not so well versed so have been just keeping ears open
Eden Haiku: What a dream Eliza!
Eliza Madrigal: it was, have been thinking about it lightly since then

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Hare Rama
Eden Haiku: Hare Rama
Eden Haiku: Rama Rama, Hare Hare
Eliza Madrigal: namaj ust means 'name' ?
Eden Haiku: no no, nama is more, can't remember...
Eden Haiku: Ramaya sounds like "Ramayana" which is the main poem in sanskrit telling the story of Rama
Eden Haiku: Looking for my Indian civilization dictionnary. What else was on the wall Eliza, drawings?
Eden Haiku: Sorry for talking on the bell :(
Eliza Madrigal:a dancing figure,but not detailed...the person was decorating the simple drawing with swaths of paint, using a cape
Eden Haiku: wow!
Riddle Sideways: painting with a cape, nice
Eden Haiku: Dictionnary is on my lap. Namah yes, "in the name of "
Eliza Madrigal: ah, thank you
Eliza Madrigal: I listened to someone read the Ramayana in SL several years ago, but don't remember as much as I'd like
Eden Haiku: Like in "Om Namah Shivaya": adoration of Shiva
Eliza Madrigal: nice, and the performance artist/painter was in celebration, play
Eden Haiku: The whole storyline is based in a promise in the Ramayana.
Adams Rubble: If you haven't seen the video "Sita Sings the Blues", you should do so :)
Adams Rubble: It is on YouTube [here is the link to the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzTg7YXuy34] 

Adams Rubble: nd in other places
Eliza Madrigal: makes note
Eden Haiku: Yes, I saw it thanks to you Adams. Lovely video!
Eden Haiku: You have vivid dreams Eliza!
Adams Rubble: yes
Eliza Madrigal: lately again, probably due to the dream sessions, immersing
Adams Rubble: Sita would like to join Rama there :)
Eden Haiku: The cape reminds me of Harry Potter's invisibilty cape.
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Riddle Sideways: have watched it several times and versions. thanks to Adams
Eliza Madrigal: more than one version?
Eliza Madrigal: which should I see?
Riddle Sideways: not really
Riddle Sideways: parts
Adams Rubble: just one version but there are clips of parts
Riddle Sideways: put shorter parts on youtube
Eliza Madrigal: ok, thanks
Adams Rubble: try to see the full version--I think it takes about a half hour but it is worth it
Eden Haiku: It could highlight parts of your dream Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) it felt unusualbecause I've been reading Paradise Lost, one would think I'd be dreaming of angels
Eden Haiku: Would have liked to see the SL version of the Ramayana;)
Eden Haiku: There are angels in hindu tradition too. Dakinis :)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Adams Rubble: there are some scenes from the Ramayana in the Ellora exhibit at cave 17
Eliza Madrigal: Still up Adams? maybe I will do more exploring
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, Ellora could inspire your dream deciphering Eliza :)

Surviving Thanksgiving

Eden Haiku: You all survived Thanskgiving, than God!
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eden Haiku: giggles
Adams Rubble: spoiler alert; it was the monkeys over the demons
Eliza Madrigal grins and notes spoiler
Eden Haiku: loves Hanuman, the great white monkey :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving :) I stayed with George while kids were with family
Eliza Madrigal: we ate noodles and watched The Big Sick :)
Riddle Sideways: ate toooooo much
Eden Haiku: smiles at Riddle
Eliza Madrigal: sounds lovely... that's what you're supposed to do
Riddle Sideways:watched "Get Out" , which almost nobody liked, until discussed afterword
Eliza Madrigal: wondering about that one

Riddle Sideways: spoiler... the racial remarks are maybe not... when looked at them from the end

Eden Haiku: Oh, a horror movie? Can't watch these. I scream too much...
Riddle Sideways: yes, there were several screams during
Riddle Sideways: funny. daughter put it on, would not turn it off, forced us, then lead discussion
