Agatha Macbeth: Hello Liz :)
Eliza Madrigal: yay Hi Agatha
Eliza Madrigal: ::::zooms in::::
Agatha Macbeth: Are you well?
Eliza Madrigal: Amazing outfit :)
Agatha Macbeth: ty :)
Agatha Macbeth: I,ve had it a while to be honest
Agatha Macbeth: You look rather colourful too
Eliza Madrigal: yes... getting into Happiness mode :)
Eliza Madrigal: not there yet but feeding the muses
Agatha Macbeth: Good ♥
Agatha Macbeth: Lucky muses eh?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: What about you? How doing?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh I'm alright
Agatha Macbeth: Quite good all things considered
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Agatha Macbeth: I didn't see your email about the event last night til about half an hour ago
Agatha Macbeth: consequently couldn't come
Eliza Madrigal: Ohh.. it was quite late for you also
Eliza Madrigal: but it was a nice event... very full....
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, good
Eliza Madrigal: I was dancing to a Whitney Houston song when someone IMed me to tell me she died
Agatha Macbeth: A worthy cause indeed
Eliza Madrigal: yes, so good there are those resources
Agatha Macbeth: Whitney Houston is dead?
Eliza Madrigal: ah... eek....
Agatha Macbeth: I didn't know
Eliza Madrigal: yes, overdose :(
Agatha Macbeth: When?
Eliza Madrigal: 48 :(
Eliza Madrigal: yesterday
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: Poor Whitney RIP
Eliza Madrigal: stopped and said a little prayer
Agatha Macbeth nods
Eliza Madrigal: very sad... every resource the world had to offer
Eliza Madrigal: but not enough
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, evidently money didn't make her happy
Eliza Madrigal: nor talent nor beauty
Eliza Madrigal: nor family
Agatha Macbeth: Exactly
Agatha Macbeth: Same could be said for Marilyn Monroe
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Agatha Macbeth: So many people think 'If I had money or I was beautiful everything would be wonderful'
Eliza Madrigal: indeed
Agatha Macbeth: But it simply isn't true
Eliza Madrigal: it isn't... in some cases it may amplify the loneliness
Agatha Macbeth: We all need something else evidently
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, true
Eliza Madrigal: The Elton John song about Marylin I think hits the point...
Eliza Madrigal: never knowing what to cling to
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes, absolutely
Agatha Macbeth: Of course evrybody over here associates that song with Diana now
Eliza Madrigal nods
Alfred Kelberry: aga girl!
Alfred Kelberry: she did it!
Alfred Kelberry: hi guys :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Boxyboy :)
Eliza Madrigal: Diana was coming into her own though... thank goodness... even though a tragic end
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Boxy :)

Agatha Macbeth: How's Alfie then?

Agatha Macbeth: Rezzing prims already I see :p
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!

Agatha Macbeth: You iz one mad dog Alf
Alfred Kelberry: had a nice night talk with woly and eliza last session :)
Alfred Kelberry: i agrees
Eliza Madrigal: :) yes pleasant way to begin the day, just re-woke an hour ago
Agatha Macbeth: Wol was up late? Unusual
Eliza Madrigal was up early
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, that sounds more like it
Alfred Kelberry: not late. usual time for her to be here.
Agatha Macbeth: Ms Insomnia
Eliza Madrigal: lots more dreams but I forget them all
Agatha Macbeth: Can't tell any for Tuesday then?
Eliza Madrigal: It isn't insomnia, but I have a strange pattern of waking around 4AMish
Eliza Madrigal: nope Agatha, flown away :)
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe should go to bed at 8PM? :p
Eliza Madrigal grins
Alfred Kelberry: it's guardians meeting today!
Eliza Madrigal: it feels sort of good actually
Agatha Macbeth: Sleep patterns can be funny things
Eliza Madrigal: Yes, happy guardians meeting day :)
Alfred Kelberry: yep
Eliza Madrigal: also since I lightened dependence on coffee I'm seeing more natural habits
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Eliza Madrigal: so that is probably part of it
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth:Try tea instead...
Eliza Madrigal: I've always dreamed of being one of those amazing people who would wake at 4am and meditate... maybe I am, hah, though I come to PaB rather than meditate so far
Agatha Macbeth: Just don't throw it overboard [grin]
Eliza Madrigal: yes, having tea now :)
Eliza Madrigal: hah :)
Agatha Macbeth: No taxation without representation...
Eliza Madrigal: do you sleep well Agatha and Boxy?
Agatha Macbeth: Well since I came out of hospital I sleep better than ever strangely
Eliza Madrigal: mmm
Alfred Kelberry: most of the time
Eliza Madrigal: maybe you allow yourself now?
Agatha Macbeth: Possibly
Agatha Macbeth: I just seem to sleep right through
Agatha Macbeth: Tho I always set the alarm for 7 to take medication...
Eliza Madrigal: nods, but a regular pattern, healthy
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, Adams just came on
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if she will visit?
Eliza Madrigal: would be nice... Wol pointed me to Adams blog this morning... that we're reading the same author
Alfred Kelberry: :P
Eliza Madrigal: Bernadette Roberts
Agatha Macbeth: Which one?
Eliza Madrigal: snap :)
Agatha Macbeth: Thanks :)
Agatha Macbeth: Dunno her I'm afraid
Eliza Madrigal: She is a Christian of the mystical bend
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: Not a buddhist then?
Eliza Madrigal: and writes about no ego/ no self, in a way that one might say is quite buddhist
Adams Rubble: Hello Everyone :)
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Eliza Madrigal: but she is really just speaking from her own experience
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Adams ::)

Agatha Macbeth: Right
Agatha Macbeth: Liz was just telling me about Bernadette...er...
Agatha Macbeth reads back
Eliza Madrigal: I went to the 1am session this morning Adams, and was pointed to your blog Adams, because I'm reading Bernadette Roberts "What Is Self" and mentioned that
Adams Rubble: Hello Bertram :)
Eliza Madrigal: (minus one Adams)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bertram
Agatha Macbeth: Roberts
Bertram Jacobus: hi everybody :-)
Adams Rubble: Ahhh
Agatha Macbeth: hiya Berti
Eliza Madrigal: I have been having dreams where I ask someone about no-self insight... and I like that she talks about no-ego and no-self being different things
Eliza Madrigal: or as different things... weird to talk about
Bertram Jacobus: slow rezzing here . but now i see - adams, aggers, eliza and boxy ! :-)
Adams Rubble: Her way is a very painful way it seems
Agatha Macbeth: Yes it is the Sunday lag syndrome I think
Adams Rubble: but she has some interesting insights
Eliza Madrigal: I haven't gotten far in reading but her quotes are striking.. remember that Solobill told me about her years ago
Agatha Macbeth: Good old Solo
Adams Rubble: hehe. Solobill told me about her too
