Hokon Cazalet: yup =)
Eos Amaterasu: hi iwandertoo
--BELL--
Hokon Cazalet: hey there =)
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eos Amaterasu: Good evening ladies and gentlemen: I regret to announce that there is no closing bell after the first opening bell
Eos Amaterasu: it seems to be a peculiarity of the way it's scripted
oO0Oo Resident: peculiar to what eos?
Eos Amaterasu: itself
iwandertoo Resident: the fountain will still differ?
oO0Oo Resident: i mean... why now?
Eos Amaterasu: the fountain being misty?
Eos Amaterasu: this only happens with the very first bell of the session
iwandertoo Resident: i'm not certain. i thought the fountain changed as well.
Eos Amaterasu: the fountain gets misty when the bell sounds
Eos Amaterasu: (sigh :-)
Eos Amaterasu: meant to give a visual cue
Eos Amaterasu: that an opening is about to open up

iwandertoo Resident: waves
Eos Amaterasu: Eliza reconfigures us
Eliza Madrigal: :) glad to help
Eos Amaterasu: Sometimes it's a real puzzle as to how to help the circle through how you enter it (from pov of concept of improving)
oO0Oo Resident: the process is still very interesting i find
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: part of the play: subject/object arrangement
oO0Oo Resident: patience with boredom?
Eos Amaterasu: hmm, yes
Eos Amaterasu: boredom has more patience than me :-)
Hokon Cazalet: hehe
Eliza Madrigal: hm, thinks of flower arrangement somehow ...
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: and whether one suggests or arrangement is suggested?
oO0Oo Resident: grant your blessings, so tha i become one with boredom
Eliza Madrigal grins
Eos Amaterasu: boredom is no longer an object
Eos Amaterasu: okay, suggestion for entering the upcoming 90 seconds?
Eos Amaterasu: (the clock is ticking...)
Eliza Madrigal: think boredom is suggested... :)
oO0Oo Resident: 'be each second'?

Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Eliza. I've been wrestling with minutes. A tough job

oO0Oo Resident: Hokon*
Eliza Madrigal: we can email back and forth Aph, no worries :)
oO0Oo Resident: hi storm
Hokon Cazalet: hiya =)
Eliza Madrigal: watching the clock seems to go with the idea of boredom...
Aphrodite Macbain: Hey storm Susan, Eliza, Eos and um o
Eos Amaterasu: in trying to 'be each second', I found the notion of 'seconds' becoming irrlevant
Eos Amaterasu: time is differently elastic
Eliza Madrigal: but yes, seconds presenting, seems different
Hokon Cazalet: yup time is
Eos Amaterasu: maybe that 's what you were saying too, Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: hmm
Hokon Cazalet: .
Eos Amaterasu: CAn you say more about your inspirationfor 'be each second', oOo?
oO0Oo Resident: to bring mind to the edge of concept, with illusion of manageable sized time units upon which to trip and stumble
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
oO0Oo Resident: and to pay attention
Eos Amaterasu: (where's Stormy?)
Aphrodite Macbain: tipping and stumbling?

oO0Oo Resident: when both hemispheres are invited... maybe poetry is invited as a way of speaking
oO0Oo Resident: that's just a hunch

Eos Amaterasu: we _are_ poetry speaking
Aphrodite Macbain: the poetry of dancing particles shaped into words
Aphrodite Macbain: constantly shifting
Eos Amaterasu: our PaB community seems to have many right/left hemisphere projects, bringing them together
Hokon Cazalet: =)

Hokon Cazalet: =)
Eliza Madrigal: somehow your line is still dancing with me Aph, flashing, shifting ... shaped into words which once typed or spoken are not quite the same... so funny
