Eden Haiku: Oh yes, poor George is being sick. Hope it's not too serious...
Riddle Sideways: Alexa reads Farm's Al manic most mornings
Eden Haiku:A cold Spring Adams, I see the irony :)

Eden Haiku: Something wrong the poor little doggie.
Eden Haiku: Irony supplements ah ah, I need that :)
Eliza Madrigal: back, yes... inflamed liver :( got into something and became quite ill quite quickly...
Eliza Madrigal giggling at irony supplements
Eden Haiku: Is it potentially dangerous Eliza? Liver is quite sensitive...
Eden Haiku: You must be worried...

Eden Haiku: 4 meds! wow!
Riddle Sideways: 4 times a day or all at once?
Eliza Madrigal nods... has been a hospital in the apartment... daughter with symptoms that are possibly b12 deficiency, diabetic cat on insulin, and then George...
Eliza Madrigal: 4, only two at same time

Eden Haiku: b12 deficiency, that’s quite serious...Is she vegan?
Eliza Madrigal: ah, life!
Riddle Sideways: 5 timers set?
Eliza Madrigal: she isn't... but I don't think she's been eating well at boyfriend's, where she lives
Eden Haiku: So many people and pets to take care of Eliza, you have to be careful to keep a balance and take care of yourself too...
Riddle Sideways: can not live on macDonald's only

Eliza Madrigal: and now I'd like to write a poem for party... so how to make the thought space
Eliza Madrigal: (most steps on treadmill)
Eden Haiku: Ah, it’s good too :)
Eden Haiku: A poem. Start one now, with us, this morning. Let this be a thought space!
Eliza Madrigal soaks up everyone's restfulness
Riddle Sideways: claim line 3 in which senceless humour goes astray
Riddle Sideways: whooops sorry bell
Eden Haiku: Riddle speaks in riddles this morning :)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Riddle Sideways: and Eden always thinks it is a good time to start a new poem
Eden Haiku: I do!
Riddle Sideways: where is your put-off-ness
Eliza Madrigal: PaB sessions often leave me inspired, so maybe poem will unfold today since I'm here... but I'm terrible at 'on the spot' poems, hehe
Eliza Madrigal listens to everyone
Eden Haiku: I would start with "thought space". Lovely expression.
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eden Haiku: Opening some thought space
Eliza Madrigal:3 breaths on a snowy sleepy morning

Eden Haiku: irony pills running into our bloods
Eden Haiku: cracking jokes to crack our shells
Riddle Sideways: hmmm
Eliza Madrigal: body speech and mind
Eden Haiku: each one of us wrapped into a personal cocoon of thoughts
Eden Haiku:flashes from the unconscious
Eliza Madrigal:harvested by cambridge analytica
Eliza Madrigal: (sorry, hehe)
Eden Haiku:worries, plans and masterplans
Eden Haiku: synchronizing our wavelenghts
Eden Haiku: without any rythm
Eden Haiku: nor tempo

Eden met a heron 

Eden Haiku: Met a heron on my last journey into the middle world
Eliza Madrigal listens
Eden Haiku: he had a message about stillness
Eden Haiku: The Spring equinox was about stillness, for me and for the group it was about friendliness. Saw gold threads running through everyone in the circle. We were 25 that night.
Eden Haiku: Saw a virtual man I didn't know sitting in the middle of the circle, beating his drum.
Eden Haiku: From each of our hearts, a gold energy thread was running through him.
Eden Haiku: We had been told before the journey this man was going to pass away the next morning at 9 o'clock (by assisted death) and he had asked for our blessings,
Eden Haiku: End of story:)
Eliza Madrigal considering the way we energize and/or drain one another ... stillness nurturing
Eden Haiku: Time of remembrance coming soon for you Riddle?
Eliza Madrigal: nice, Eden, ty
Eden Haiku: smiles
Adams Rubble: back
Riddle Sideways: yes, smiles
Riddle Sideways: yes, kitchen spring cleaning starts today
Eden Haiku: It seems yesterday when you told us the stories you recall in your family at that time of Passover...
Eden Haiku: Waiting for many guests Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: not as many this year
Riddle Sideways: many have grown up
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Riddle Sideways: many have moved on
Eden Haiku: How was the graduation by the way?
Riddle Sideways: this might be the last year for one family here
Eden Haiku: Oh!
Riddle Sideways: graduation is not until May
Eden Haiku: Oh, sorry. Confusing past and future :)
Riddle Sideways: easy to do
Riddle Sideways: Past happens
Eden Haiku: Time is strange isn'it?
Riddle Sideways: and the stories longer
Riddle Sideways: and more stories to tell
Eden Haiku: yes

Eden Haiku: This is certainly a space for thought!
Adams Rubble: yes, thank you
Eliza Madrigal: thanks for participating....
Riddle Sideways: in the middle of the night. maybe awake, maybe not composing tomorrows posting or dreaming doing it
Riddle Sideways: all confused
Eliza Madrigal: it feels so integrating and nice
Eden Haiku: it does
Eliza Madrigal:as much of a practice as the bells and breaths
Eliza Madrigal: to just check in
Eden Haiku: yes: it keeps us on our toes
Eliza Madrigal:I always feel like I can SEE everyone posting :)
Riddle Sideways: and hearing a Storm smile and wave

Eliza Madrigal: it was so lovely having you there last time Eden
Riddle Sideways: Thursday!
Eliza Madrigal: must reconsider times and recordings again
Riddle Sideways: not Tuesday
Eden Haiku: I loved the experience Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: May I ask, is the middle world, this one, what we think of as 'this one'?
Eden Haiku: The virtual world you mean?
Eliza Madrigal: in the drumming meditation the guidance was upper world... tree branches, mountain tops, clouds. Lower world roots, caverns, etc.
Eden Haiku: I think the shamans didn’t account for Second Life :)
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Eden Haiku: That would be a fourth realm
Eliza Madrigal: 'fourth place' comes up in various writings I suppose
Eliza Madrigal: but I wondered what you saw as the middle world, when you journeyed with the heron
Eden Haiku: Yes.Middle world is "ordinary reality" what we call "real life", real places...
Eliza Madrigal: ah, okay
Eden Haiku: But then you can meet a heron who can talk in the middle world :)
Eliza Madrigal: just like SL
Eden Haiku: Yep!
Eliza Madrigal grins

Eliza followed an egret

Eliza Madrigal: I followed an egret along a lake a few weeks back... it was a wonderful experience... trying to move at its pace
Eden Haiku: And you have to make sure you go with a power animal because it can be a dangerous place this middle world, with hungry souls and so on... Not sure exactly...
Eliza Madrigal: ooh
Eliza Madrigal: so the energizing vs draining energies
Eden Haiku: Following an egret in RL Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: at least until it lost me
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: Ah! good omen for your writing!
Eden Haiku: Egrets, ibis, herons: all heralding the Egyptian God Thot of sacredwritings!
Eliza Madrigal: powerful connotations, didn't know
Eliza Madrigal:the egret actually took me through a group of ibis and one (smaller) cattle egret that were hanging around a bench...
Eden Haiku: Wow!
Eliza Madrigal: cattle egrets are so unusual, as likely to be in a busy intersection as in a pasture
Eliza Madrigal: and they seem so calm there in the middle of the noise and smoke
Eliza Madrigal: just plodding along :)
Eden Haiku: Messengers from another world :)
Riddle Sideways: or standing
Eliza Madrigal: yes!
Eliza Madrigal: reminders
Eden Haiku: Inspiring a poem maybe? Following an egret...
Riddle Sideways: yes, there were a pair on herons living in the left turn lane in florida
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Eden Haiku: smiles
Eliza Madrigal: yes I suppose they adapt, and also feel safe there since they know they can fly at any time?

Eliza Madrigal: sigh...
Eden Haiku: drivers...
Eliza Madrigal: so so many drivers
