Riddle Sideways: when the day is ending
Riddle Sideways: when standing is hard
Riddle Sideways: there are repeating phrases

   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: the kids are thinking that that sounds like the end of services
Riddle Sideways: yet reminded that to seek is always
Riddle Sideways: and a good thing
Riddle Sideways: and welcome

Adams Rubble: Seeking God, walking with God, Playing as being
Riddle Sideways: You have a theme going
Adams Rubble: In the Catholic Church, before the closing hymn, the priest says "The Mass is Ended, go in peace" and some people rush to the exits
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Adams Rubble: like the gates being open

Adams Rubble: I am exploring the possibility that walking with God is the same as Playing as Being
Adams Rubble: seeing as God, seeing as Being
Riddle Sideways: yes
Adams Rubble: thank you for the Yom Kippur reference
Riddle Sideways: the very shortened version
Riddle Sideways: Playing the many sides of Being
Adams Rubble: seeing our many connections
Adams Rubble: and that we are not what we think we are
Adams Rubble: hard work :)
Adams Rubble: starting at the end
Riddle Sideways: Being laughing as we once again say 'We Got It' ㋡
Riddle Sideways: starting at the End.
Adams Rubble: laughing as we take what is simple and make it complicated again
Riddle Sideways: Again. Like Ground Hogs Day
Adams Rubble: hmmm
Adams Rubble: until we get it right
Riddle Sideways: remember starting at the End last year about this time
Riddle Sideways: or the year before that

   --BELL--
Adams Rubble: our conversation went deep very siuddenly
Riddle Sideways: yes, went thinking instead of typing
Riddle Sideways: back to times of apologizing, thanking parents
Riddle Sideways: and their parents
Riddle Sideways: there are special services and special parts of each service that open the opportunity to go to those places of rememberance
Riddle Sideways: to Thankfulness
Riddle Sideways: to Forgiveness
Riddle Sideways: if any body there wishes too
Adams Rubble: when I was young I used to imagine the billions of stars; now I think of all the ancestors and the people they encountered :)
Adams Rubble: so many people before us
Adams Rubble: so many who will be following
Riddle Sideways: people All the Way down
Riddle Sideways: hopefully

Adams Rubble: another thing that popped out in the Psalms were all the wicked people running around killing righteous men, stealing, cheating, etc.
Adams Rubble: sounds like home :)
Riddle Sideways: sings "Same as it Always was"
Adams Rubble: thank you for the session
Riddle Sideways: oh, an hour has gone?
Adams Rubble wonders whether the person under the blanket was righteous or wicked
Riddle Sideways: hmmm
Adams Rubble: the body is not what it appears :)))
Adams Rubble: just like us
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: masks
Adams Rubble: I hope you have a great day, couple of days, etc
Adams Rubble: I see you built a maze
Riddle Sideways: and hope you have your great day
