I was surprised that I arrived a bit nervous about starting guardian duites again. My appearance elicited some unexpected comments. I was dressed in a Orange shirt, gray vest, flowery jeans, frizzly hair with a daisy attached to the side. At one point I stood up and did an impromptu fashion show. I thought my outfit was more Diane Keaton than hippie but the jeans were neo-hippie for sure.

Riddle Sideways: only 59F here. Hi should be 73
Eden Haiku: Yep! especially people with asthma are having problems...
To get things started I post a piece from my blog today:
Adams Rubble:
In the beginning was the End,
And the End was completely empty.
And This beginning was Empty;
And the emptiness was without void,
Except when the void was called space.
The beginning was not the Beginning.
In the Beginning was Being.
Some people called Being God,
or Allah, or Shiva, or Vishnu, or Devi;
Some people see Christ, or Krishnu,
or Avalokitesvara, or Manjusri,
or Samantabhadra.
Some call Being "Nature";
Some just scratch their heads
And say "What does it matter
If we have not Love In our hearts.
We are perfect as we are,
Except when we need improvement.
Adams Rubble: that is from my blog this morning
Eden Haiku: Love, yes, at the center of it all.
Riddle Sideways: Except when we need improvement ;)
Riddle Sideways: thinking of Babble - all the languages for the same thing
Riddle Sideways: yet in using a different word that same thing gets a slightly different meaning
Riddle Sideways: so generations go off on that slight differences
Riddle Sideways: and come back to have a war
Riddle Sideways: Sorry, went someplace
Riddle Sideways: with wild typing
Adams Rubble: no, you went where it goes Riddle
Adams Rubble: That is the needing improvament part, Riddle :)
Birthday for Eden:
Eden Haiku: Little kiddies were over yesterday, for my birthday, in this damp damp weather. Running and making wheels and splits under the garden shower, giving me wet hugs, laughing mischievouslly. So much LOVE.
Riddle Sideways: HHHHHappy Birdday
Adams Rubble: oh yes, happy birthday eden :)
Riddle Sideways: So much Love
Eden Haiku: Hoopoe is bowing with thanks :)
Eden Haiku: A birday makes you lighter: you fly like an angel :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: Yes ㋡
Eden Haiku: A birth-day seems much more work :)
Adams Rubble: amazing that we knew what to do on our birth day
Riddle Sideways: labor
Eden Haiku: And this is the birth day of your new session hosting Adams!
Eden Haiku: Labor, amazing that we knew yes...
Adams Rubble: yes, I guess that is what inpired my summary but then I got tired out
Adams Rubble: after writing it
Adams Rubble: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I lay down behind the cushion for a cat nap; meanwhile Riddle tells of internet woes which were to manifest at the end of the session.
Riddle Sideways: have always been amazed about a single cell knowing to get it together and divide
Eden Haiku: My niece was telling me about the delivering of her six-months old little girl and I was very impressed. How much LABOR it is...
Riddle Sideways: giggles at drifting off Adams
Eden Haiku: smiles
Riddle Sideways: write your heart out, then nothing left to do... maybe take a nap
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: in the last 2 days, have lost Internet 5 times. yesterday was 2pm-5. looked at website, said they were possibly doing scheduled maintainance. Talked with 1st level support.
Riddle Sideways: told it was on this side, so a tech would come out
Riddle Sideways: in a day or tow
Riddle Sideways: two
Eden Haiku: Chewing Thrills gum, a leftover from yesterday's treats; it still tastes like soap!
Eden Haiku: oh no Riddle...
Riddle Sideways: later got a call from Advanced Support. service was now restored to my area
Eden Haiku: listening
Adams Rubble: yes, sorry to hear that Riddle. We get so dependent on the connections
Riddle Sideways: end of story. leaves questions of what support group about themselves

Riddle Sideways: Yes!!!! ㋡
Riddle Sideways: had to do a strange thing ...
Adams Rubble: I do much of my computer work offline
Riddle Sideways: go outside
Adams Rubble: :)))
Eden Haiku: When on a roadtrip with about 30 kilometers without cellular network, I felt quite insecure...
Adams Rubble: wow Eden
Riddle Sideways: no safety Net
Eden Haiku: Not even able to log on Twitter to complain about it...
Riddle Sideways: how did we live before
Adams Rubble is still in the dark ages concerning cell phones
Adams Rubble uses maps :)
Riddle Sideways: paper maps ?
Adams Rubble: yes - but they are hard to find now
Riddle Sideways: have some of those ... someplace
Adams Rubble: they are getting out of date
Eden Haiku: My niece's GPS sent her 30 kilometers north of here yesterday :(
Riddle Sideways: ha
Adams Rubble: We got a gps thingy for the car and it got mad at us and told up to make a left turn from the right lane
Eden Haiku: Yep, it does things like that.. I talk back to mine :)
Adams Rubble: it was a busy intersection
Adams Rubble: tring to kill us
Riddle Sideways: had the dashboard GPS arguing with the backseat cell phone GPS
Eden Haiku: AI is taking over!!!
Adams Rubble: hehe
Riddle Sideways: 2 women's voice telling to turn diff ways
Eden Haiku: Nice :)
Adams Rubble: back sear driver
Adams Rubble: seat
Eden Haiku: A new hell
Riddle Sideways: well, plus a couple RL women
Eden Haiku: hehe
Eden Haiku: Even worse
Back Seat Driving Duscussion Leads to Voices in our Head Telling Us What to Do; Giving Birth is Weaved into the Thread
Eden Haiku: Wondering about the "back seat driver" of her consciousness
Adams Rubble wonders what will happen when driverless cars are following the directions of the gps advisors
Riddle Sideways: in A beginning (which was not The Beginning) there was emptiness and no void until the GPS came along
Adams Rubble: say more Eden, sounds interesting
Eden Haiku: indeed...
Eden Haiku: About the back seat driver of consciousness... hummm....
Riddle Sideways: /listens, yes
Adams Rubble: yes
Eden Haiku: A feeling that there is a witness behind the neocortex
Riddle Sideways: that little cartoon angel on our shoulder back seat
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: In my typist's head, that is me :)
Riddle Sideways: dazzling
Eden Haiku: That I often treat like an annoying back seat driver/GPS
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: and in hindsight
Riddle Sideways: was maybe correct directions
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: of course ignore that other voice "You can't get there from here"
Riddle Sideways: that little devil
Eden Haiku: During the pause, that GPS/ back seat driver/ cartoon angel/withness/SL alt was shouting: DO NOT TYPE ON THE BELL and it was hypnotized into obedience
Adams Rubble: and the one that says "How can you be in two places at once when you are not anywhere at allll-lllllll"
Eden Haiku: "I" was hypnotized into obedience
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: love Firesign
Eden Haiku: Firesign?
Riddle Sideways: wondering about the "I" that was hypnotized
Eden Haiku: The good Catholic girl?
Adams Rubble: Firesign Theater a sort of comedy group that was not mainstream
Riddle Sideways: Firesign Theater, a long ago comedy group Adams and Riddle liked
Riddle Sideways: snap
Eden Haiku: Ah! Thanks :)
Riddle Sideways: with a twist
Adams Rubble compares Riddle's and Adam's descriptiosn
Adams Rubble: most people listen to them and hate them
Adams Rubble: some us twisted souls li=ove the humor
Eden Haiku: But hippies like you too dig them!
Riddle Sideways: "Barkeep, I have a snap with a twist"
Adams Rubble giggles
Riddle Sideways: giddes
Riddle Sideways: or giggles
Eden Haiku: Just bited my tongue: not used to chewing gum anymore :(
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Adams Rubble: ouch
Eden Haiku: Yep, it hurts. Apparently much less than giving birth but I wouldn't know about that ...
Adams Rubble: My RL self had voices in the head; it was one of the things that were dropped in PaB explorations
Riddle Sideways: am told passing a kidney stone is somewhat close
Eden Haiku: My niece gave birth in a birthing house, in a bath but after 11 hours or so she felt so incredibly exhausted she felt alone in the world...
Adams Rubble: knew what should be done but the voices kept telling to do something else
Riddle Sideways: good thing to drop
Adams Rubble: very negative voices
Adams Rubble not ignoring Eden
Eden Haiku: How interesting Adams...
Eden Haiku: Would like to hear more Adams :)
Adams Rubble: We can be grateful to those who gave us birth
Eden Haiku: Experience seems similar to the back seat driver I was mentioning
Riddle Sideways: the tough sorting out of the negative and positive voices
Eden Haiku: The key might be to understand all the inner voices mean well. Sometimes they are ill-inspired though...
Riddle Sideways: backseat driver/GPS says turn, but the driver still decides which path
Riddle Sideways: the where did each get their data
Riddle Sideways: seeming to be driving a car with a very large back seat
Adams Rubble remembers her Christmas selves all babbling
Eden Haiku: Christmas selves elves?
Adams Rubble: fighting among themselves
Adams Rubble: pictured my selves as elves
Eden Haiku: Cute :)
Adams Rubble: I addeded a quote about that to yesterday's blog
Adams Rubble: December 2008
Eden Haiku: Used to follow some French therapist who suggests we address all the voices one by one until there is no one left. It takes a long while...
Eden Haiku: Will look it up Adams!
Adams Rubble: we lost Roddle :(
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Used to do that exercise with a little figurine representing each voice.
Adams Rubble: Riddle too
Eden Haiku: Riddle, Riddle ?
Adams Rubble: I spent a long time trying to figure where all the vloices were coming from
Eden Haiku: He vanished, poofed into the netherworld, in a no Internet connection world...
Adams Rubble pictures Riddle drawing pictures and pasting them to his monitor
Eden Haiku: And I'm daring silencing the back seat driver, talking LOUDLY over the bell which shoooing me...
Adams Rubble: I noticed :)
