2018.04.03 - Day 20

Morning session - responding / reacting, mirror / reflection, 3 breaths as expanded by Pema. Thankful.

Lunch - many baking pans, food meditation. _/!\_

Afternoon 'quiet' walk - Bert's more quiet than others, taking a moment of rest in a church

Afternoon boat ride - 'Arthur' describing the history and rich culture of the city. Everyone owns 1.3 bicycles (Wester "One to own and .3 to have stolen'."), (Eos "Then to be re-'cycled.'")

Afternoon into evening - lively chat and laughter over drinks, cheese and bread

Evening - Here now. 3 Breaths. Thankful. edited 19:00, 3 Apr 2018

Struggling with busy-ness the past few days and finding it hard to make myself stop. There are things churning. I have not mentioned my sprained back from too much snow shoveling. The doctor made me go to therapy which is a very different experience for me. I am enjoying the waiting times that has given me some time to read more of one of the bell hooks books. The patriarchy seems to be behind so many struggles. It is just plain messed up. It is nice to hear from the Amsterdam group.

Realized today that I am feeling somewhat bored with the book I've been reading. I am tempted to put it aside and take up something more engaging. But, on the other hand, I think the later chapters of this book may have some useful material, once I get through the preliminaries. I'll stay with it for at least a little longer.

Thank you Eliza for the report and the lovely picture. I recognized you and Pema, and maybe Eos and maybe Wester. The man in black sitting at the forefront right looks a lot like Mick's avatar! I love this guessing game :) What a great bunch of Players as Being!

That's right, Eden! So then you're left with considering who is Tura, Wol, and Berti! Enjoyed reading your session before this one yesterday. The group smiled a lot hearing about Adams saying 'When two or more are gathered...' :)

Alma I looked for the book you're reading on Audible, before traveling, since I thought it would be interesting to learn more about self-hypnosis (with dreaming in mind) too. Looking forward to perhaps hearing some of what you glean. edited 05:16, 4 Apr 2018

Yes! thank you for the photo. and its guessing game. Recognized Eos, Pema and Tura. Assumed the rest pretty correctly. However, am still back at the realization that seeing some photograph of your present rl avatar changes almost nothing.

Feeling stressed for time but am happy to submit my little watercolour as a salute to spring. edited 20:05, 13 Apr 2018
