Dash Earthboy: almost dozed off at the wheel before stopping :(
Archmage Atlantis: Dash -
Eos Amaterasu: you are half asleep
Dash Earthboy: yep
Archmage Atlantis: You can survive
oO0Oo Resident smiles
Archmage Atlantis: Do you want to?
Eos Amaterasu: no one survives forever
Archmage Atlantis: True, Eos
Archmage Atlantis: Not in this reality
Dash Earthboy: i believe the spirit lives on tho

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: half is, half not
oO0Oo Resident: zero has the same fate
Archmage Atlantis: 90 second lag
Eos Amaterasu: was the lag half empty or half full?
Dash Earthboy: my sister used to say "whoopee ding"
Dash Earthboy: :)
Archmage Atlantis: In my philosophy, Horatio, all exits in that moment
Dash Earthboy: :)@Arch
Eos Amaterasu: exits? exists?
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Dash Earthboy: of course you meant exists
Dash Earthboy: snap
Eos Amaterasu: he spoke more than he knew

Dash Earthboy: nothing we can know that isn't known :)
Eos Amaterasu: it's easy... and the path is "all you need is love": what does that mean?

Paradise Tennant: like that path
Eos Amaterasu listens
Dash Earthboy: lookin good Arch :)
Eos Amaterasu: morphing arch
oO0Oo Resident nods.. golden light on the flight feathers
Archmage Atlantis: Hello Paradise
Eos Amaterasu: if we are deeply affected by the phenomenal world
Eos Amaterasu: that is touching us
Eos Amaterasu: opening us
Eos Amaterasu: is that love?
Archmage Atlantis: That you for representing
Eos Amaterasu: devotion?
Dash Earthboy: Eos, that ex-con's world that touched me had little love but lots of manipulation
sinequanon Sahara: Love must exist aside from the phenomenal world....its a category of its own..
Eos Amaterasu: half empty?
Archmage Atlantis: We all manipulate,
Archmage Atlantis: dDash
Eos Amaterasu: use our hands
Dash Earthboy: hey Aph
Archmage Atlantis: Love is beyond

Dash Earthboy: and for new arrivals, I'm in Loveland :)
sinequanon Sahara: Hi steve
stevenaia Michinaga: hope you weren't waiting long
Aphrodite Macbain: You are talking about love?
Eos Amaterasu: a garland of themes
Eos Amaterasu: starting with "the moment is half empty"
Aphrodite Macbain: My favourite subject
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Eos Amaterasu drinks deeply of it
stevenaia Michinaga: love never gets old :)
stevenaia Michinaga: only better
sinequanon Sahara: knowledge devoid of the "divine" cuts into itself like acid
Paradise Tennant:

"I am only the house of your beloved, not the beloved herself: true love is for the treasure, not for the coffer that contains it."

The real beloved is that one who is unique, who is your beginning and your end. When you find that one, you'll no longer expect anything else: that is both the manifest and the mystery. That one is the lord of states of feeling, dependent on none; month and year are slaves to that moon. When he bids the "state," it does His bidding; when that one wills, bodies become spirit. Mathnawi III, 1417-1424

Archmage Atlantis: Namaste///// and blessings if availabe
Dash Earthboy: good thoughts Paradise :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Thank you Paradise
sinequanon Sahara: Arch have you had too much love..buddy

Eos Amaterasu: Hi Bert
Paradise Tennant: hiya bert .we are talking of love .. and I am ruminating :)
sinequanon Sahara: Mathnawi is a poetic form in which the ends of each couplet rhyme with one another...
Bertrum Resident: hi everyone
oO0Oo Resident: Halo Bertrum :)
Dash Earthboy: hey Bert
sinequanon Sahara: the form rumi chose to do his bidding
Aphrodite Macbain: what does this mean then: Mathnawi III, 1417-1424
stevenaia Michinaga: rhymes are always dificult when translated into another language
sinequanon Sahara: it should be Mathnawi of rumi...etc
Eos Amaterasu: sometimes it's really interesting to read a text in another language
Paradise Tennant: from the essential Rumi belive that is the name of text Sine ? correct ?
Eos Amaterasu: it's inhabited by a different spirit
Paradise Tennant: yes ..
Paradise Tennant: very much so ..
Aphrodite Macbain: ah. thank you. I see now
sinequanon Sahara: thats is true...thats how its come to be known Paradise
Paradise Tennant: the rhythm of the words can be so different different melodies
Aphrodite Macbain: you recited it well Paradise
sinequanon Sahara: but others have also written in this poetic form...
stevenaia Michinaga: there are certain hebrew prayers where each line begins with a sequential letter of the aphabet, never seems quite the same when translated into wenglish will keeping the alphabet sequence, since there not all the letter are equivalent (fewer hebrew letter)
Aphrodite Macbain: hmm yes. I can see it migh t be a challenge for the transator
stevenaia Michinaga: yees, similar to poetry
Aphrodite Macbain: sometimes things are best not translated

sinequanon Sahara: persian...arabic ..and urdu poetry meters are more restrictive then english poetry
Aphrodite Macbain: a poem Samuo?
oO0Oo Resident: a prayer

Eos Amaterasu: no need to spin, Aph
