Riddle Sideways: Hi Leaping Adams
Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: careful leaping today
Riddle Sideways: no going into the pool
Adams Rubble: yes, brrrrrrrr
Riddle Sideways: cold there?
Riddle Sideways: warm and rainy here

Adams Rubble: our third Nor-easter has just struck a glancing blow
Riddle Sideways: glancing blows still hurt
Adams Rubble: snow on trees was enough to bring down the big branch that had broken in last Nor-easter
Adams Rubble: it came down safely thank goodness
Adams Rubble: did not kill anyone
Adams Rubble: or maim then
Adams Rubble: or knock them out
Adams Rubble: safely on the ground
Riddle Sideways: a nice safe landing
Riddle Sideways: firewood?
Adams Rubble: just like some of our thoughts :)
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Adams Rubble: no stove or fireplace here
Riddle Sideways: mmm, have a fireplace and wood, wonder why no fire this year
Adams Rubble: do you have matches, she asks snarkly
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: need to research if air quality laws, regs or whatever frown on it
Riddle Sideways: later
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: fireplace heats the house unevenly
Riddle Sideways: that getting hot air to go downstairs principle

Adams Rubble: I have a topic suggestion
Riddle Sideways: oh good
Riddle Sideways: done with weather
Adams Rubble: why is self love so difficult for westerners
Adams Rubble: Of course, not narcissism
Riddle Sideways: of course
Adams Rubble: it is a difficult topic
Riddle Sideways: Love itself is so difficult for westerners
Adams Rubble: hmmm, for males anyway
Riddle Sideways: do you think the Prodesent work ethic helped form it?
Adams Rubble: the patriarchy has its demands
Adams Rubble thinks about the Protestant work ethic
Riddle Sideways: ty for spleting
Adams Rubble: I think we should leave the Protestant work ethic out of it because we have Catholic Guilt and maybe look at the Judeo-Christian tradition
Riddle Sideways: ok
Adams Rubble: but the basic teaching of jesus and St Paul is love
Adams Rubble: Gid is love and love is God
Adams Rubble: God, not Gid
Riddle Sideways: how far back did self love go wrong
               --BELL--
Adams Rubble: interesting question; we could ask when did that happen in each of us
Adams Rubble: we were shamed at times as children to varying degrees
Adams Rubble: so we learned it
Riddle Sideways: so early as to not remember
Adams Rubble: I can't begin to think when it happened to society
Adams Rubble: not good at Greco-Roman religions nor the northern european pagan religions in my own case
Riddle Sideways: Google went sideways on the question and found papers on Self Esteem
Adams Rubble: hmmmm
Riddle Sideways: and it thinks westerners have more self esteem

Adams Rubble: I'd like to define self-love as the ability to love others freely
Riddle Sideways: ok
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: self esteem is tricky because what seems to be going on may not be true
Adams Rubble: bragging can be a mask
Adams Rubble: hmmm, self esteem a mask?
Riddle Sideways: so hard to see one's own mask

Adams Rubble: yes, so important to watch ourselves every 15 minutes for nine seconds
Adams Rubble gilles at the PaB plug
Adams Rubble: giggles
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: will have to try that
Adams Rubble nods

Riddle Sideways: remembering the Adams blog and alphabet of what was going on that 15min

Adams Rubble: The ability to love has been an ongoing theme
Adams Rubble: when I stared I was very impatient :)
Adams Rubble: yet here I am still
Riddle Sideways: was so much younger then
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: remember spending so much time studying your codes
Riddle Sideways: they were Your words though
Adams Rubble: sorry about that
Riddle Sideways: so, had to make up My words
Riddle Sideways: codes
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: BrM = breath meditation
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: do you still use that list?
Riddle Sideways: memorized
Adams Rubble: not as much I use that one and F that is focusing
Riddle Sideways: or on the wall
Adams Rubble: I was just looking at my list :)
Adams Rubble: IIETBA - It is enough to be alive
Riddle Sideways: that was a hard one
Adams Rubble: I first heard that sitting on a snow mountain plateau in in Bodhi Land, that wonderful sim that was here when I first cam into SL

Adams Rubble: https://rubblebornthoughts.wordpress...abbreviations/

Adams Rubble: The idea of the codes was that in 9 seconds it was dfficult to express everything so I had a shorthand to make it easier
Adams Rubble: sometimes I used to spend over 15 minutes blogging and still be blogging when the next 9 seconds rolled around
Adams Rubble: I needed some 15 minutes for life :)
Riddle Sideways: as if that was not life
Riddle Sideways: ha, both are off into re-reading the list
Riddle Sideways: how many have to do with Love
Adams Rubble: Tonglen for starters
Riddle Sideways: that is the one that actually uses the word
Riddle Sideways: yet, the root of most have it
Adams Rubble: FO – Focusing Outward. In this meditation I want to focus more on others.
Adams Rubble: lots of experimental tools in that list
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: Gr
Riddle Sideways: not Grrrrrr
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: then the well used one:
Riddle Sideways: NTT – Nothing this time
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: hey, had never seen that "Follow" button at the bottom
Adams Rubble: sorry that I have been quiet; looking at the list has made me think about that practice
Riddle Sideways: Yes!
Riddle Sideways: went there also
Riddle Sideways: each abbreviation is a trip off for 15 minutes
Adams Rubble: nows the time for "we were younger then..."
Riddle Sideways: Love
Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: "What the World needs now..."
Riddle Sideways: "is Love"
Riddle Sideways: "Sweet Love"

Riddle Sideways: others might be so critical to have pointed to one or two missplelting in the list
Riddle Sideways: but, this person would not ㋡
Riddle Sideways: and some others, might be quiet during the 90-sec ㋡
Riddle Sideways: 10 years of practices
