(This session countains so many topics I chose the least relevant one in order to make your mouths water...)
The Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The comments are by Eden Haiku.
An amazing video someone posted on Twitter during Egyptian revolution.
There is already freedom in their lotus eyes.
The original version had no voice-over in arabic. Only music.
It was even better with no words at all.
It was very quiet for the first 10 minutes or so. I had a nice view of my hectic mind [ just out if a 15 minutes meditation...): ]. Were we Monday? Was it 7 am SLT? Had I said something wrong? Why was nobody showing up for my session...[whining sounds...] Let's be cool, listen to the birds, maybe pick a nice Rumi poem to quote..And so on.
I was SO grateful when I saw SophiaSharon sitting in the circle :-) And then others came.
SophiaSharon as a cute aubergine hybrid
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Eden :)
Eden Haiku: Hello SophiaSharon:-)
Eden Haiku: How are you this morning?
SophiaSharon Larnia: great, how are you, are you home?
Eden Haiku: Yes, been back home for a week now. Settling back. And you?
SophiaSharon Larnia: I thought so, you said you needed to unpack, but then later thought i read that you still were not :)
Eden Haiku: Nice furry ears and shiny jewels you are wearing :-)
Eden Haiku: Took me ages to unpack... still a few things to organize. Too much stuff...
SophiaSharon Larnia: thanks. I dont know what it is, but if i go a long time without wearing it i miss them
SophiaSharon Larnia: I bet Eden
Eden Haiku: Are the ears part of the hair? They are the same shade of aubergine, you look like a cute hybrid human :-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: ha, no they are not part of the hair :D
SophiaSharon Larnia: and I love this color so much that I recently dyed my rl hair very close in color to it
SophiaSharon Larnia: (temporary dye so far :D)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Bleu
Bleu Oleander: hi Sharon, hi Eden :)
Eden Haiku: Bridging 1st and 2nd lives! Nice :-)
--BELL--
SophiaSharon Larnia: same style too (part is to the side tho), and yes, there have been several things in sl ive brought to rl
SophiaSharon Larnia: unfortunately, decided to dye my hair before job interviews, i hope i look hirable lol
SophiaSharon Larnia: um hire-able [I'm sure some potential boss will just love your aubergine hair Sharon!]
Eden Haiku: hello Bleu :-) Sorry, was answering the phone...
SophiaSharon Larnia: lovely board here Bleu, with the poems on it!
Bleu Oleander: hi Eden :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hard to read, can you make it a little bigger?
Bleu Oleander: need to zoom in
Bleu Oleander: not meant to be read from a distance
SophiaSharon Larnia: i have to zoom in with the alt key to read it
Eden Haiku: Yes, oOOOo has been inspired: quite a nice poem she wrote! (is oOOO a she, not sure ;-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: oic
Eden Haiku: What is happening on June 12th Bleu? (trying again to get the cat out of the bag...)
Bleu Oleander: hahaha
Bleu Oleander: trying to catch me off guard!
Eden Haiku: Admiring your "stone" outfit Bleu with hiking boots ;-)
Bleu Oleander: it's from a painting
Bleu Oleander: by Jasper Johns
Eden Haiku: Ah nice ;-)
Eden Haiku: You are a living billboard
Bleu Oleander: for art :)
Eden Haiku: *living billboard of art!
Bleu Oleander: snap
Eden Haiku: snap
Eden Haiku: So, June 12 th?
Bleu Oleander: hi Zen :)
Eden Haiku: hello Zen-san!
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Zen
Bleu Oleander: can't say more yet about June 12th
As it seems I won't get more info about June 12th from Bleu, my attention turns to Zen who does indeed look quite "different".
This is my view of Zen this morning.
Eden Haiku: You look very different Zen...
Zen Arado: Hello everyone
Eden Haiku: You are so secretive Bleu...
Bleu Oleander: except be happy you have a reservation :))
Zen Arado: I do?
Bleu Oleander: did you reserve Zen?
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, you have mine already don't you?
Bleu Oleander: I have you Eden
Zen Arado: do I need to make one?
Eden Haiku: Good. I will find out!
Bleu Oleander: i'll put you down :)
Zen Arado: kk
Eden Haiku: Zen are you becoming transgender?
Zen Arado: ha I am Ruthed again :(
Bleu Oleander: I see you normal
Zen Arado: what viewer are you using Eden?
Eden Haiku: You are tiny with ballerina shoes, a shadow of a beard and small breasts Zen ;-)
Zen Arado: yeh that is Ruthing
SophiaSharon Larnia: Zen looks the same to me
Eden Haiku: Still in viewer 1. Can it be SO different? Am I hallucinating?
Bleu Oleander: Zen looks ok to me, but i'm using viewer 2
SophiaSharon Larnia: (I mean the same as usual, not what you describe)
Zen Arado: it happens when a viewer can't deal with changes
Bleu Oleander: happens with v1
A deep topic that we keep shallow as we all start looking for snapshots to "prove" our views hehe.
Eden Haiku: Can my view of reality be so different than yours?
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Zen Arado: it defaults to a female av
Bleu Oleander: of course Eden
Eden Haiku: First time I notice this happening...
SophiaSharon Larnia: its happened to me a few times
Eden Haiku: A deep philosophical topic...
Bleu Oleander: or a tech problem
Eden Haiku: To be defaulted to a female avatar Sharon? hehe
Zen Arado: but is it me or the other person's viewer?
SophiaSharon Larnia: no, to see someone rezzed completely different then they thought they were
Eden Haiku: Tempted to come back in viewer 2 and see the difference... have a free conversation and dance as mice while the cat will be in limbo ;-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i dont think its your viewer Zen
Eden Haiku: I might come back in different clothes as it happens when I switch viewers... hehe
Bleu Oleander: haha
Eden Haiku: Be right back!
Eden Haiku: Session will remained claimed right?
SophiaSharon Larnia: are we the mice Eden?
--BELL--
Deciding to stay, I keep trying to import in-world a snapshot of ruthed Zen with ballerina shoes so I can show off my angle of view on Zen :-))
SophiaSharon rezzes a billborad showing her normal view of a normal Zen
Bleu Oleander: will have to claim it again I think
Eden Haiku: The dancing mice yes and I'm the cat hehe
Zen Arado: maybe not since there are guardians here
Eden Haiku: Ah, in that case, better not than.
Bleu Oleander: ah ok
Eden Haiku: I like looking at Zen like this ;-)
Bleu Oleander: haha
Eden Haiku: But the ballerina shoes are weird..,.
Zen Arado: shifts uncomfortably
Eden Haiku: smiles at Zen
Eden Haiku: Sorry, talking on the bell...
SophiaSharon Larnia: see he looks rezzed in the picture
Eden Haiku: let me show you what I see in my hallucinated state of Viewer 1...
SophiaSharon Larnia: (i really love temporary textures lol)
SophiaSharon Larnia: ok
Bleu Oleander likes slides shows too
Zen Arado: yeh I've been through this before :)
Zen Arado: photographic proof
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles
Bleu Oleander: could be photoshoped
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes, although maybe not that fast ;0
Bleu Oleander makes note to work on my speed
Zen Arado: I'm working on photos atm
Zen Arado: for painting from
SophiaSharon Larnia: :) i meant in the few mins from the taking of the picture and bringing inworld
Bleu Oleander: oh nice Zen
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh Zen really?
Bleu Oleander: landscapes?
Zen Arado: might be
iPhone evangelists make me crave owning the device :-)
Zen Arado: looking through Iphone storage
Bleu Oleander: have you tried more abstracts?
SophiaSharon Larnia: i really love my iphone, i dont know what i did without before
Bleu Oleander: me too
Zen Arado: off abstracts atm
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Lucinda :)
Zen Arado: Hi Luci
Eden Haiku: Tks Bleu for the picture [sorry Sharon, missed the slide show was yours!]
Eden Haiku: Takes me forever to locate the snapshot I took of Zen, sorry...Good morning Lucinda...
Eden Haiku: Coveting an iPhone...
Lucinda Lavender: hi @sbucks
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh? how did you log into SL when you were away?
Lucinda Lavender: on iPod;)
SophiaSharon Larnia: ohh whoops
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i logged in SL with my iphone, but the buttons to type, and therefore actually take part in the conversation, are too small.
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Hokon
Lucinda Lavender: morning to all
Hokon Cazalet: hi =)
Zen Arado: Hi Hokon :)
Hokon Cazalet: =)
A meteor crater metaphor
Bleu shows us an interesting picture she took of the end of her cafe latte...
SophiaSharon Larnia: what is that a picture of Bleu?
Zen Arado: what's that? a meteor crater?
Bleu Oleander: that's an iphone pic of the end of my cafe latte :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: omg that is hysterical
Zen Arado: oh ha ha
Bleu Oleander: cool huh?
Bleu Oleander: I'll have to make an outfit out of it :)
Zen Arado: cool coffee
SophiaSharon Larnia: and also the oddest looking cafe latte i ever saw
Bleu Oleander: looks other worldly
Zen Arado: I did a painting of a cup of tea lately
Hokon Cazalet: hehe yup
Bleu Oleander: hi Hokon
Zen Arado: from a cup of tea in pizza hut
SophiaSharon Larnia: your iphone resolution is surprisingly good inworld
SophiaSharon Larnia: +picture res that is
Zen Arado: wonder if the use the same cups in the US?
Bleu Oleander: yes works fine for sl
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh Eden I see now
As I had successfully rezzed a billboard with a snapshot of a ruthed Zen but he now missed the ballerina shoes, I kept trying to import the other one in-world...Simultaneously, there is a wave of leavings and comings, cloud appearances and other mysterious events...
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: funny Eden :)
Lucinda Lavender: is impossible for me to see on iPod?
Eden Haiku: I really need to attend the Prim workshop... it takes me forever to do anything in SL... Aarggh...
Eden Haiku: oh, just seeing the tea crater, nice![ thought it was Zen picture of a tea while it was Bleu's snapshot of a cafe latte, multitasking is not good for me...]
Eden Haiku: Hello Hokon ;-)
Hokon Cazalet: hiya =)
Eden Haiku: Still tring to locate pic of ruthed Zen in black laced ballerina shoes... Where is Zen? He left? Missed that. Bye Zen. Waving thru the log...
Hokon Cazalet: i need to go myself, gotta get ready for work, see ya all later =)
Bleu Oleander: have to go too
Bleu Oleander: bye all take care
Hokon Cazalet waves
Eden Haiku: Bye Hokon. Have a nice Monday at work!
Eden Haiku: Bye Bleu;-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Bleu
Eden Haiku: Ah, Zen is coming back ;-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: wb Zen, and have to go too, bye Eden and Zen :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: have fun
Eden Haiku: Looking his ordinary self now :-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: :) good
Lucinda Lavender: bye bleu
Eden Haiku: likes to recognize a familiar face. Hello dear (((Zen)))
Zen Arado: bye Sharon
Eden Haiku: Bye Sharon, have a great day!
Zen Arado: I came back in Phoenix
Lucinda Lavender: bye ssl
Eden Haiku: My scanner says Lucinda is at 12 meters but I can't see you Lucinda. Are you invisible today?
Eden Haiku: Maybe it,s time I change viewers...
Zen Arado: she is a cloud to me
Zen Arado: V 1 is really out of date now
Lucinda Lavender: I am on iPod
Zen Arado: it won't rez lots of things in SL now
Eden Haiku: Ah, that might be the clue...
Eden Haiku: I don't even see your clouded self Lucinda ;-)
Zen Arado: Hi Eliza :)
Eden Haiku: Heard Eliza stepping in but can't see her either. Am I going blind or what?
Zen Arado: heard the thump when you landed
A pillar sprite
Eliza arrives with sound first then she reveals her all-black self: she looks like an actor in working clothes, I wonder why...
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen and Eden... sorry to miss the session today but nice to say Hello!
Zen Arado: :)
Lucinda Lavender: standing most likley
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, Hi Luci
Eden Haiku: Oh, turning my view, I catch a glimpse of her, all in black ;-) Hi dear!
Eliza Madrigal: you are a tiny little whisp of a cloud
Eliza Madrigal: (luci)
Eliza Madrigal: In fact from here you look like something from Eden's imagination....
Eliza Madrigal: heheh
Eliza Madrigal: (hovering)
Zen Arado: a pillar sprite
Zen Arado: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Yes :))
Lucinda Lavender: first time in long while
Eliza Madrigal: Eden how are you feeling? Rested up?
Lucinda Lavender: ;)
Zen Arado: ready for the big day?
Eden Haiku: Yes, thank you, feeling rested now. Jet lag always takes a week for me...
milakel Resident: hi :)
Eliza Madrigal: and this was a dramatic trip
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Mila :)
Zen Arado: Hi Mila :)
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, Eliza, what IS happening on June 12th? Please do tell us...
milakel Resident: eden! our egyptian spy is back :)
milakel Resident: and glowing! :)
Eliza Madrigal: Oh! I can finally tell everyone.....
Eden Haiku: hello Milakel ;_)
Eden Haiku: Nice to meet you. Are you a spy too? smiles
Eliza Madrigal: ...
Zen Arado: hmm..can't tweak your nose Mila :)
Lucinda Lavender: should go soon. good day to all!
milakel Resident: zen :)
Eliza Madrigal: to ASK BLEU
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Luci :))
--BELL--
As Lucinda is leaving, milakel walks in: something familiar about her...
Eden Haiku: Bye Lucinda! Have a good day!
Zen Arado: :)
Zen Arado: bye Luci
Eden Haiku: Ah Mila is Boxy, I see ;-)))
Zen Arado: it was a good clue :)
milakel Resident: i told you she's a spy :)
Eliza Madrigal: Zen, btw, what a wonderful poem for Bruce!
milakel Resident: yes, and a wonderful poster!
Zen Arado: he he
Zen Arado: didn't see poster
Eden Haiku: Yes, and I kind of remember Mila carrying the same radioactive tulips that Alfred carried around...
milakel Resident: behind me
Eliza Madrigal: And Eden, you are such a dazzling representative.... think if we could send anyone in hologram form to visit Bruce it would be you :D
milakel Resident: true, eden :) nice of you to remember
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, banners for Bruce, to welcome him back. O has been inspired!
Eden Haiku: Would love to travel in hologram form Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: my attempts at writing have thus far fallen flat....
Zen Arado: Mila is a very attractive av
milakel Resident: *blushes*
Eliza Madrigal: :)) yes Mila is very pretty
milakel Resident: thank you, zen :)
milakel Resident: aww :)
Eden Haiku: My poem sounds like a Hallmark Card, but that's ok. That's my style for postcards and birthday cards too. ;-)
milakel Resident: i think it sounds perfectly eden-ish :)
To make a decision, stretching capacity, yearning for learning, integration, endless curiosity of life and so on...
Eden Haiku: have to make a decision by tomorrow about another trip I booked before Egypt.
milakel Resident: oh, please, tell about your trip
Eliza Madrigal: I don't think it is a Hallmarky card... think it captures what spontaneously erupted from sessions...
Eliza Madrigal: whirling wishes :D
Eden Haiku: This one is by the Saint-Lawrence river but it's an 8 hours road trip from Montreal.
Eden Haiku: A trip about listening the whales sing.
Eliza Madrigal: oooooh
Eliza Madrigal: what's to decide
milakel Resident: so nice
Eliza Madrigal: ?
Eden Haiku: But too much is like not enough...
Zen Arado: poster should be bigger
Zen Arado: hard to get to reading position
Eliza Madrigal: hmmm
Eliza Madrigal: Not sure Eden...
milakel Resident: eden, make a record and then upload here. maybe we could have our own little whales in the pond that sing :)
Eliza Madrigal: 'too much' can also be a way to stretch capacity?
Eliza Madrigal: aw
milakel Resident: yes, zen
Eliza Madrigal: yes!! Eden reciting poetry with the whales.... mmmmm
Zen Arado: no it's not Hallmarky at all
Eden Haiku: Yes, is it just laziness or do I really need down time to integrate Egypt, work on my book, get ready for moving in the country for the summer... Pondering...
Eliza Madrigal: ah, I see, yes that makes sense
Eliza Madrigal: Integration
milakel Resident: you're going to spend the summer in egypt? [ Missed that Mila: not in Egypt, no, in the Laurentian Hills not too far from Montreal]
Eden Haiku: But Tadoussac is also very tempting. Attending a conference tonite, will make a decision after.
Eliza Madrigal: well if it would help, I'll go too Eden....heheh
Eden Haiku: Always this feeling I need to learn "more". Do you feel that too?
Zen Arado: all my life \Eden
Eden Haiku: It would cool you from Miami's heat Eliza. Was in Tadoussac once in July and I missed my winter coat!
milakel Resident: endless curiosity of life :)
Zen Arado: lifelong learning yearning
Eliza Madrigal: My feeling is often that I want to learn to appreciate and share what I know
Eden Haiku: Yes, but isn't there a point where you should just stop and stop stretching?
Zen Arado: depends on the reason for the learning maybe
Eden Haiku: I know it's a good thing but then I have a tendency to overdo that's I'm watching.
Zen Arado: could be a feeling of inadequacy with me
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eden Haiku: But then we are going through changing times.
Zen Arado: a need to prove myself
Eliza Madrigal: it is interesting to watch ourselves
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: re changing times
Eden Haiku: The conference I'm attending tonite is about "the state of the world",
Zen Arado: disabled people often do this
milakel Resident: i think it happens naturally when your interest shifts and sways with all new data coming at you
Zen Arado: to prove they aren't useless after all
Revolutionary energies
Eden Haiku: It's about the Arab spring and all these revolutionary energies awakening at this time around the world as well as within ourselves.
Zen Arado: yes learning should be natural
Eliza Madrigal: fascinating, Eden
Eden Haiku: can you feel these energies inside yourselves at this point? Blooming energies?
Eliza Madrigal: in that context I imagine many feel 'disabled' Zen
Zen Arado: last week I felt so tired
Zen Arado: stayed up too late though
Eden Haiku: Yes, all this new data Mila, it feels overwhelming sometimes.
Zen Arado: yeh can't keep up
Eliza Madrigal: I've been really drawn to energy work in a practical sense all year
Zen Arado: so many books to read
Eliza Madrigal: to answer your question Eden
Eliza Madrigal: but that is due to my resolution "Right Energy"
Eden Haiku: Oh nice Eliza :-)
Zen Arado: we have to be more selective with our energies
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: it fits with seeing time last year
Zen Arado: I waste mine :)
Eden Haiku: And do you feel it in your creativity Zen? I like very much your snapshot of a tea crater, nice metaphor ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: we all do Zen, but then one can find out that the wasted time was the most productive!
Eden Haiku: yes!
Eliza Madrigal: the goofing off helps integration of all the rest maybe :))
Zen Arado: that was Bleu's photo :)
Eden Haiku: Even talking on the bell with soft paws, aware of our transgression might be beneficial ;-)
Zen Arado: yeh sighs
Eliza Madrigal: heheh, yes
Eliza Madrigal: soft paws :)
Zen Arado: thought I had a solution there too
Eden Haiku: Oh, it was, sorry. Was distracted with trying to locate your pic with ballerina shoes Zen...Ambulance sounds in my area...Always distressing.Or maybe fire alarm...
Zen Arado: Better go
Eliza Madrigal: sometimes the best thing we can do is to take our eyes off something we're working on
Zen Arado: Original Face meeting soon
Zen Arado: and 2 hours long
Eliza Madrigal: Looking forward to seeing your exhibit Zen, enjoy the meeting
Zen Arado: what exhibit?
Eden Haiku: What exhibit Eliza hum hum...
Cat might be showing a paw out of the bag here...
Eliza Madrigal: I know I've seen your paintings before but nice they get a field trip, hehe
Zen Arado: ah the Perfect Para dise one
Zen Arado: yes
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Zen Arado: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlif...se/130/136/607
Eden Haiku: smiles
Zen Arado: just happened to have thew Slurl :)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eden Haiku: have a good meeting Zen ;-) Thanks for showing up even ruthed and with laced ballerina shoes. Will use the pic in the log for sure :_))
Eliza Madrigal: yay, looking forward to seeing that
Zen Arado: k ty bye :)
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Zen
Eden Haiku: Bye zen!
As milakel was obvioulsy "away" I tried to startle her by singing a lullaby on voice, only to notice my voice didn't work...
Eden Haiku: Mila, Mila tu dors...
Eden Haiku: Ton moulin bat trop vite
Eden Haiku: Mila, Mila tu dors
Eliza Madrigal: hehe, lullybye?
Eden Haiku: Ton moulin bat trop fort
Eliza Madrigal: was really looking forward to being here for your whole session Eden, then fell asleep for a 'short nap', sigh....
Eden Haiku: Need to check my sound settings... It seems it doesn't work anymore
Eden Haiku: Oh short morning nap is good.
Eden Haiku: Did you get up very early?
Eliza Madrigal: I slept almost 1.5 hours! but.... I did need it... hadn't slept well in a few days
Eliza Madrigal: yes, usually do
Eliza Madrigal: when will you go to the summer spot Eden?
Eden Haiku: Oh my God, there is a glitch with my voice chat settings.
Eliza Madrigal: :(
Eliza Madrigal: maybe will work when you sign off/on
Eden Haiku: We are supposed to leave on June 15th but I think I will wait for my boyfriend to come back from Paris on June 17th (he leaves Saturday, just one week),. Tadoussac was from June 22 to 26. Complicates things...
Eliza Madrigal: ahh yes, nice to take the route that allows for enough quiet strolling under the stars :)
Eden Haiku: And we are a bit worried with my father. He takes weird decisions, changes his mind. My brothers are more worried than I am. Yet...
Eliza Madrigal: ooh
Eden Haiku: Lots of things to deal with ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: yes :)
Nova Scotia retreat
Eden Haiku: What about you, any trip planned? Are you going to the next retreat in Washington State?
Eliza Madrigal: the next retreat is back to Nova Scotia, and yes :))
Eliza Madrigal: I can almost feel the forest from here :)
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, Washington State is in September, Nova Scotia in July right?
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eliza Madrigal: I'd like to go in September but that is less likely
Eden Haiku: I remember you liked that retreat place very much.
Eliza Madrigal: I do...
Eden Haiku: Would love to develop ubiquity talents...
Eliza Madrigal: ubiquity talents?
Eden Haiku: To be at different places at the same time...
Eliza Madrigal: ah :)) yes....
Eliza Madrigal: you know though... have been considering 'full dimensionality' since you've returned
Eden Haiku: listening
Eliza Madrigal: not sure if I can articulate, but part of what I think happens when we come at something from many angles
Eden Haiku: Ah, yes ;-)
milakel comes back as we discuss fear of seeing...
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Welcome back Mila ;-)
milakel Resident: ;)
Eliza Madrigal: is that we see all around it, at once, like a sculpture... so have been thinking of your talents and challenges...
Eden Haiku: I'm very inspired in my writing these days.
Eden Haiku: There is always a point where fear comes up
milakel Resident: we can see you glowing, yes :)
Eliza Madrigal: ah
Eden Haiku: I have to bypass that fear of seeing I have
Eliza Madrigal: isnt that a good sign, the fear?
Eliza Madrigal: as long as you don't let it 'stop' you I guess...
Eden Haiku: Was going to work on that with my EMDR therapist this afternoon. But she had to cancel. We rescheduled for tomorrow.
milakel Resident: emdr?
Eden Haiku: This kind of fear I think comes from the closing up of channels as a child wanting to conform...
Eden Haiku: Eye Movement Direction Reprogramming Mila. A new method in connecting the 2 sides of the brain.Powerful.
Eliza Madrigal: but you see it then Eden ... wonderful
milakel Resident: um, sounds cheesy :)
Eden Haiku: Intuitive channels have been widely reopened through the initiatic journey in Egypt.
Eliza Madrigal: lots of things sound cheesy Mila
milakel Resident: what have you seen there, eden?
Eliza Madrigal: :) "I love you"... ick... hehehe
Eden Haiku: Oh not at all Mila. Have been working with this for years now, on and off. It's incredible.
Eliza Madrigal: from the outside many wonderful things sound ridiculous :)
Eden Haiku: I love you (((Eliza)))). Let's be cheesy, it feels so good. Doesn'it (((Mila)))?
Eliza Madrigal: not that this does though... I'd try it if the opportunity arose...
Eliza Madrigal: hehe Eden :D
From wide opened intuitive channels to seeking a practical advice from a tech person...
Eden Haiku: Mila, may I ask for your tech advice about voice chat settings. It kind of stopped working a few weeks ago. I wonder why...
Eliza Madrigal: ((((((((Eden)))))))) ((((((( Mila))))))))))
Eliza Madrigal: weeks ago? wow
milakel Resident: sure
Eden Haiku: smiles and radiates
Eden Haiku: I go into preferences and set it to default
milakel Resident: there's not much to set though
Eliza Madrigal: I have to get going... catch up from unusual napping this morning
Eliza Madrigal: Nice to see you both :)
Eliza Madrigal: Thank you
milakel Resident: what client, eden?
milakel Resident: eliza, nap well :)
Eden Haiku: Bye Eliza ;-))
Eden Haiku: have a great Monday!
Eliza Madrigal: you too!
Eden Haiku: I'm in viewer 1
Eliza Madrigal waves
milakel Resident: ah, i'm using v2
Just ask and you will receive!
milakel Resident: wee! it works :)
Eden Haiku: Yeah, it works. Was singing that lullaby to you when you were asleep before ;-)
milakel Resident: hehe
milakel Resident: merci :)
Eden Haiku: Good!Thanks. Works magic. Just asked and then I found my way around it hehe
milakel Resident: yes, it helps when you try to explain
Eden Haiku: Yes, it made me realized I had to change some settings I forgot about on my computer...
Post-revolution Egypt
milakel Resident: so, how are things in egypt?
Eden Haiku: People are proud of having thrown out their dictator, hopeful for the future yet anxious about fundamentalism.
Eden Haiku: Was there first time in 1983 and there were almost no veiled women.
Eden Haiku: Now, the vast majority of them are veiled. Hijabs or even burquas.
milakel Resident: hmm
--BELL--
milakel Resident: you think the pro-religious groups are taking over?
Eden Haiku: Had a few conversations with our Egyptian guide who was delightfully fluent in French. That's what he shared. He's Muslim but he doen't like the salafists ways.
Eden Haiku: He gave us a kind of speech about all the islamic movements: there are many. His feeling is that Egypt is closing up instead of opening up. He lives in Europe part time so he's very aware of the differences.
milakel Resident: well, that's sad. i assume they took the advantage and filled the vacuum.
Eden Haiku: But taking to twenty somethings working in the hotels were we stayed, I felt there is much hope in their souls and much opening.
Eden Haiku: Egyptian people are naturally joyful, that's a wonderful quality.
Eden Haiku: let me give you a link to a great video showing this very clearly.
Eden Haiku: http://edenhaiku.posterous.com/egypt...yes-an-amazing
Eden Haiku: Someone from Egypt posted this on Twitter during the Egyptian revolution. I posted it on my site. I find it really beautiful.
milakel Resident: sadly, as it seems, they may swap one dictator for another
Eden Haiku: Shooted on Tharir Square before they ousted Mubarak. But they knew they would: you can see it in their eyes.
Eden Haiku: Strangely, I didn't remember the woman voice in Arabic. Only the music... maybe they updated it.
milakel Resident: yes, i was wondering what's she saying
Eden Haiku: So many smiling eyes and peaceful faces ;-) I sure hope they will live in peace.
Eden Haiku: The narrator tone is quiet. I remember overhearing an imam on loudspeakers on a Friday while visiting Karnak Temple in Luxor. The tone was very agressive.
milakel Resident: :(
Eden Haiku: They are so many treasures in their inheritance from the past.
Eden Haiku: And their land is magical in many ways: rich magnetic fields there.
Eden Haiku: You can feel them.
--BELL--
Unpacking
Eden Haiku: You made a reservation for June 12th event didn't you?
Eden Haiku: I'm wondering what it is all about. Nobody wants to say anything...
milakel Resident: ah, yes, i did
milakel Resident: sorry, being distracted :)
Eden Haiku: Me too. I guess will know then and only then. A kind of surprise ;-)
milakel Resident: bleu is the master of suspense :)
milakel Resident: i don't think anyone knows
Eden Haiku: Heard the noon bells pealing away. I better go now and finish unpacking and organizing all my stuff...
milakel Resident: except her and a few others maybe
Eden Haiku: Maybe yes... a big suspense!
milakel Resident: so nice to have you back here, eden :)
milakel Resident: glowing and singing - we missed you :)
Eden Haiku: Thank you for this nice chat Mila, nice to meet you in this form ;-)
milakel Resident: merci :)
Eden Haiku: Oh thank you, how sweet of you to say.
Eden Haiku: Bonne journée! Have fun!
milakel Resident: hope you'll unpack some pleasant things :)
Eden Haiku: Only uninteresting things like electrolytes and such things :-)
Eden Haiku: In case of dehydration...
