Adams Rubble: your outfit will go well with the exhibit at the new museum annex, Eden :)
Eden Haiku: I’m participating to a meeting this week. It's called "a circle of talking"

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Not sure of the wording. It's from the Natives, who used to sit in a circle and talk their differences and try to make peace with each other.
Eden Haiku: The theme is "fear of the foreigners, fear of the other"
Riddle Sideways: good theme
Adams Rubble nods
Riddle Sideways: to work out
Riddle Sideways: is it one of those circles with a Talking stick?
Riddle Sideways: and ya get to hit the non-conforming members 

Eden Haiku: Yes Adams, I will find time to go this week. My seminar has a reading week
Riddle Sideways: whoops, forgot to add humour smiley :))
Eden Haiku: Yes Riddle, with the talking stick. But it seems the stick is only symbolic. it's there but we don't really use it they said...
Eden Haiku: laughs at Riddle's joke she just got LOL
Eden Haiku: I would have been tempted to use it on the talking head of the woman organizing the group. She talked non-stop and in a very offensive way at the pre-meeting last week...

Only 30 books in a house?

Books tend to multiply themselves!

Riddle Sideways: had to look up who Marie Kondo is. Now wondering about those of me that like piling lots of 'stuff' up
Riddle Sideways: great joy is shuffling through the piles looking at stuff
Eden Haiku: She would let you have only 30 books in your house Riddle. Marie Kondo that is :)
Eden Haiku: Can you imagine, only 30 books?
Riddle Sideways: how can a house only have 30 books
Adams Rubble has less than 30 books in my inventory :)
