2011.05.16 19:00 - Raining on me

The Guardian for this meeting was SophiaSharon Larnia. The comments are by SophiaSharon Larnia. This session was attended by Stevenaia, Hokon, Paradise, Susan and myself. I was late as usual, I lost electricity at home and had to run to use another computer.

Stevenaia and Hokon started to discuss their Monday's, and then Susan seemed to independently ask what we learned today. All within the gentle backdrop of pouring rain. :)

Paradise Tennant: smiles... how much I like grape tomatoes with pesto pasta :) , that there is a program in winnipeg that helps veterans returning with post traumatic shock symdrome, by having them take care of a dog, one such dog by the name of stinky was inducted in to the purina hall of fame today for saving the lives of 4 veterans who wrote journal entries saying they would have killed themselves without her love.. met stinky and her trainer in the park .. both had all kinds of badges on .. :)

stevenaia Michinaga: there is a canal path I can bike to work, but not on the rain (or mud) was thinking of trying it this summer
iwandertoo Resident: thank you for sharing....
Hokon Cazalet: =)
Paradise Tennant: smiles
SophiaSharon Larnia: wow Paradise :) first of all grapes with pesto? and you met this dog and her trainer?

stevenaia Michinaga: ..listens
Hokon Cazalet listens for susan's reply as well

iwandertoo Resident: i read a quote that said, "I will die wondering." and it's true. i will. and it's never struck me before.

stevenaia Michinaga: great question, btw
SophiaSharon Larnia: wow yes
Hokon Cazalet: cool suan =)
Hokon Cazalet: susan*
Hokon Cazalet: i probably will as well

iwandertoo Resident: i'm not certain if i am beating myself up for not catching it or if i am fighting how true it is or i am very much unresolved that there is so much more to learn...and i will miss it.

SophiaSharon Larnia: no doubt me either, most of what i want to know :)
Hokon Cazalet: hehe

Alfred Kelberry: mmm... what a lovely group of pab women :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hehe Susan.
Alfred Kelberry: ions?

--BELL--

Alfred Kelberry: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: the question, i think, are there negative ion boxes? i was saying how i felt more awake and active when it rains
Alfred Kelberry: i feel like in a beautiful flower garden around you :)
Alfred Kelberry: sophia, i like rain as well
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes we were saying that too hahah
Alfred Kelberry: i think maybe you resonate with nature being active
SophiaSharon Larnia: i dont know :)
stevenaia Michinaga: the rain outside seems "closer" to you than the air when you are in the rain
stevenaia Michinaga: like being under a waterfall
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia pictures Stevenaia running out in the rain with laptop in tow
SophiaSharon Larnia: hahah
Alfred Kelberry: i like gloomy sky and grey clouds and then sun rays coming out :)
Alfred Kelberry: stev, i also like to be cosy at home and watch the rain in the window as drops are coming down :)
stevenaia Michinaga: lol
stevenaia Michinaga: waterproof laptop would be great in a pool, rain, beach
Alfred Kelberry: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i know, why havent they invented it yet :)
Alfred Kelberry: is it raining now at your place, sophia? :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: stevenaia's
SophiaSharon Larnia: which is not far from me, a few hrs i think
Alfred Kelberry: ah
stevenaia Michinaga: big rain
Alfred Kelberry: you can catch it then :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i think sometimes we share a weather system heh
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, you always get it first and give it to me
SophiaSharon Larnia: hey :D
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks for sharing
Alfred Kelberry: i would think neko girls prefer to observe the rain from a windowsill :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles
SophiaSharon Larnia: heavy downpour rain conumdrum, enjoy it awake or be lulled into sleep
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Alfred Kelberry: does anyone know how to turn the rain on here?
SophiaSharon Larnia: Susan, you said: i read a quote that said, "I will die wondering." and it's true. i will. and it's never struck me before.
iwandertoo Resident: yes
Paradise Tennant: one sec will go fetch the rain :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: youve seen that before and it struck you out of the blue today?
SophiaSharon Larnia: now cant stop thinking :))
Alfred Kelberry: sophia, yes... sadly. but i have a subtle hope of having my questions answered after i die :)
iwandertoo Resident: i've not seen it before. but the words, as said, struck me. (seems obvious one will...die wondering. yet today - it hit me.) I believe my follow-on sentence explained the emotion.
Alfred Kelberry: "fetch the rain" :)
Alfred Kelberry: *guards para's cushion while she's away*
stevenaia Michinaga: looks in inventory of rain gear
iwandertoo Resident: is she really gathering the rain?
iwandertoo Resident: i believe she could do it
iwandertoo Resident: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: thank goodness Storm is not here, he has many weather scripts
Alfred Kelberry: if there's a way to digitze consciousness we could go on forever :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: but then we would always wonder
Alfred Kelberry: i'd rather keep wondering than die :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I think each of us is "digietized" in those that surround us... we live in those we meet

--BELL--

Alfred Kelberry: *waits for the rain*
Alfred Kelberry: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: there's no way to know if death would be the end of wondering either
Alfred Kelberry: yay! :)
