    SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Boots
    Boots Danitz: hello gang :)
    oO0Oo Resident: Hi Boots
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nice to see ya
    Eliza Madrigal: I heard a lovely story this morning... mind if I share it?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: sure!
    oO0Oo Resident: please!
    Boots Danitz: go ahead :) please do
    Eliza Madrigal: Thanks... it isn't long :)

    Eliza Madrigal: There was a woman by a stream, enjoying the peace and tranquility. She looked in one area and saw something glittering like a gem in a spot by the trees. She went over to pick it up … finding a precious gem the size of her fist. This would take care of her very well for the rest of her life. Materially she had always had very little. She went back to her spot, considering all the things she could buy with the money she could get from this gem…

    A man came up and told her that he was very hungry. What could she give him? She reached into her bag and handed him some bread. Then he saw the gem. Commenting on how beautiful it was he asked her, “Please let me have it; I need it.”

    The lady smiled and said “Yes, you can have it,” giving him the precious gem. The man took it home with him, knowing that this gem would take care of his needs for the rest of his life.

    But, the next day he went back to the lady by the stream. “I must give this back to you,” he said. Handing her the gem, he asked “In exchange I would like something else.”

    “What more could I give you?” she asked. He answered “Whatever you have, that made you able to give me that stone.”

     

    Eliza Madrigal: [end]
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm
    oO0Oo Resident: :)) Nice
    SophiaSharon Larnia: great story, thanks
    Eliza Madrigal: :) Found it moving in a simple way
    Boots Danitz: very nice indeed
    Boots Danitz: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: was thinking about 'practice' and the point which isn't really practice but something else :)
    Boots Danitz: i guess i would also love having that which made her give the stone
    oO0Oo Resident: generousity?
    Boots Danitz: indeed plus detachment
    Boots Danitz: detachment i find quite tricky at times
    Dash Earthboy: hey y'all
    Eliza Madrigal: seems so, yes, stability and security of a different sort
    Boots Danitz: hello dash
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Dash
    oO0Oo Resident: Hey Dash. Good to see ya
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Dash
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nice to see ya
    SophiaSharon Larnia: can you say more Boots?
    Eliza Madrigal listens
    Boots Danitz: well detachment i find quite difficult
    Boots Danitz: i mean i have to fight my own preconceptions
    Boots Danitz: preconceptions of what i want or better yet need to be happy
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nods
    Boots Danitz: and even though i know i carry within me all that i need i tend to keep on assigning value to the stuff outside me
    Eliza Madrigal nods and relates
    oO0Oo Resident considers reconceiving
    oO0Oo Resident: giving up is a neverending process
    Boots Danitz: its like with other people, i keep on thinking i would love it if they acted differently yet i know i cant shape or modify their ways
    Boots Danitz: indeed samud
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen :)
    oO0Oo Resident: just cover them in leather Boots
    oO0Oo Resident: i Zen
    Eliza Madrigal: that's the trickiest Boots!
    Dash Earthboy: hey Zen
    oO0Oo Resident: *Hi
    SophiaSharon Larnia: Hi Zen
    Boots Danitz: attachment marks the path to frustration
    Boots Danitz: at least for me it does

    --BELL--

    Boots Danitz: hello zen
    Zen Arado: (Hi All)
    Dash Earthboy: sometimes i've found detaching too much can leave one isolated
    Boots Danitz: care to explain more dash?
    Dash Earthboy: after struggling with my coming from an "addictive" personality family, I have learned not to attach to things that have no feelings
    Dash Earthboy: but attaching, of itself, does not lead to frustration
    Eliza Madrigal: interesting perspective
    Dash Earthboy: just making choices to attach to good people can lead to much joy
    Eliza Madrigal: we have a rather addictive world
    Boots Danitz: i find in my case the pain arises from assigning a set of my own expectation to things and people outside
    Boots Danitz: like expecting the mrs to behave some way or my friends or my boss
    Zen Arado: why can't we just enjoy people without becoming attached to them?
    Boots Danitz: i believe one can manage it zen
    Dash Earthboy: why not attach Zen?
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe the thing is just not assigning them responsibility for our contentment
    Boots Danitz: just as long as i dont assign expectations
    Dash Earthboy: for sure Eliza
    Zen Arado: cos itr hurts when they leave Dash :)
    Boots Danitz: indeed eliza
    Dash Earthboy: awww, Zen, sry about that
    Eliza Madrigal: so often we're interacting with our expectations instead of the people there with us
    Dash Earthboy: i've had long distance relationships
    Boots Danitz: losing is as much a part of living as breathing
    Dash Earthboy: they can surely be a roller coaster ride
    Eliza Madrigal: mmm, nods
    Dash Earthboy: agreed Boots
    Boots Danitz: thus attachment is a bitch
    Zen Arado: yeh have to live with the losses
    Eliza Madrigal: does someone have an open microphone?
    Boots Danitz: especially as sometimes it doesnt allow one to enjoy those that are around us
    Boots Danitz: not that i know of
    SophiaSharon Larnia: not I
    Dash Earthboy: my mic indicates "off"
    Eliza Madrigal: I've been hearing sounds... children, then car, then heavy breath :)
    Boots Danitz: lol i cant see myself thus i cant even tell if i have my voice thingy on
    Boots Danitz: lol
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :) oh dear
    SophiaSharon Larnia: Im afraid I cant see you eityher ^^
    SophiaSharon Larnia: either*
    Boots Danitz: no1 can im afraid
    Boots Danitz: in a cloudy mood 2day lol
    SophiaSharon Larnia: but can see your text perfetly
    Dash Earthboy: Eliza, that kind of stuff is happening here in RL
    Eliza Madrigal: hmm
    Dash Earthboy: except for the heavy breathing :)
    Zen Arado: is attaching wanting things to stay the same?
    Eliza Madrigal: well it may not be heavy to the person doing it, lol
    Dash Earthboy: not to me Zen
    Boots Danitz: well zen in my experience attachment is avoiding change
    Boots Danitz: or fearing it
    Boots Danitz: damn chat lag lol
    Zen Arado: marriage is a form of attachment?
    Boots Danitz: not necesarily
    Dash Earthboy: to me, yes Zen
    Eliza Madrigal: depends on who you ask :)
    Eliza Madrigal: for some it is freedom
    oO0Oo Resident: <3
    Boots Danitz: i once read that the truest form of love is based on loving without expectations
    Zen Arado: yeh
    Dash Earthboy: Yes, Eliza, and I find freedom in such attachment
    Boots Danitz: if both can manage that then attachment can be avoided and the love you recieve and give is unconditional
    Eliza Madrigal: sometimes you meet couples who are so freed by one another... content and supportive
    Eliza Madrigal: let off the hook from dating for one thing :)
    Dash Earthboy: boots, show me "unconditional" sometime :)
    Boots Danitz: :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: heh
    SophiaSharon Larnia: (@ Eliza)
    Boots Danitz: well dash i dont claim i have achieved it yet
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Boots Danitz: though in a way one can love ones children that way
    Dash Earthboy: i've never seen "unconditional" Boots
    Eliza Madrigal: nice point Boots
    Boots Danitz: lol most of the time
    Dash Earthboy: but i've heard many claim it
    Zen Arado: attachment just an idea anyway
    Boots Danitz: lets leave it as an aspiration then dash
    Eliza Madrigal: well we live in a conditional world
    Boots Danitz: :)
    Zen Arado: we never stay the same
    Dash Earthboy: right Eliza
    Eliza Madrigal: we try to predict and insure everything
    Boots Danitz: i aspire to love unconditionaly without expectations of anything in return
    Eliza Madrigal: :) me too
    Zen Arado: when attached I want freedom..when free want attachment
    Boots Danitz: therein lies the pain eliza
    Dash Earthboy: not We "me" Eliza
    Zen Arado: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: thanks Dash, I know you have a problem there, but it isn't mine :)
    Dash Earthboy: and the "we" isn't mine :)
    Boots Danitz: holding on to something or some1 that cant be held derives frustration
    Eliza Madrigal: sure
    Zen Arado: we except you Dash :)
    Boots Danitz: and increases pain of sorts too
    Boots Danitz: lol
    Dash Earthboy: ty Zen
    Zen Arado: there is no 'me' anyway
    Eliza Madrigal: it sort of goes back to the beginning of our conversation today... what is the heart of the matter?
    Zen Arado: so maybe no 'we ' either
    Eliza Madrigal: is it the rules we keep, or are the rules pointers?
    Boots Danitz: hello xir
    Dash Earthboy: good to see y'all
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Xirana
    Dash Earthboy: pax et bonum y'all
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Xirana :)

    oO0Oo Resident: *events
    Eliza Madrigal: (Xirana and Zen let me share the story with you that I shared at the beginning... in a notecard)
    Zen Arado: pretty heavy events eh?

    oO0Oo Resident: how does he feel about random touching?
    Alfred Kelberry: heh
    Eliza Madrigal: random touching?
    Eliza Madrigal: wow we've made friends I think
    Eliza Madrigal: ::squeals::::
    SophiaSharon Larnia: the cat comes to you when you touch it?

    Alfred Kelberry: yay!
    Eliza Madrigal: thank you kitty

    oO0Oo Resident: lol
    Eliza Madrigal: mercat
    oO0Oo Resident: kk so the woman only saw the glimmer of the gem while she was already enjoying the peace and tranquility next to the river
    Alfred Kelberry: oh... i think she peed in the pond
    oO0Oo Resident: lol
    Eliza Madrigal: that's okay its naturally clarifying
    Alfred Kelberry: :)
    oO0Oo Resident: maybe it's gold alfred
    Alfred Kelberry: better than on a cushion, i agree :)
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe a few more water plants might help, for circulation
    oO0Oo Resident: catnip in a planter box

    Alfred Kelberry: *prepares napkins*
    Eliza Madrigal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4vkVHijdQk
    Alfred Kelberry: oh yes! i've seen this one - cute indeed :)
    Zen Arado: clever using children for advertising
    Eliza Madrigal: =P~

    --BELL--

    Eliza Madrigal: clever advertising doesn't negate that it is a very sweet idea too :)
    Alfred Kelberry: took him a while to type "dad" :)
    Eliza Madrigal: haha
    Zen Arado: yeh but plays on emotions
    Eliza Madrigal: nice when men can be gentle :)
    Zen Arado: you like it and realize they are dong that at the same time
    oO0Oo Resident: Google is very good at these sentimental adds. I teared up for sure, but also see the parallel with Joe the Camel as Google plays it's nym wars forward.
    Eliza Madrigal: nym wars?
    Alfred Kelberry: joe the camel?
    Zen Arado: I was thinking how clever Amamzon are getting at making me buy thngs this morning
    Alfred Kelberry: do tell, zen
    oO0Oo Resident: Sorry "Joe Camel" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Camel
    Eliza Madrigal: haha - making you
    Zen Arado: soon as I buy somethng they are in there with other recommendations
    Zen Arado: and just tailored for me
    Eliza Madrigal: oh that's for sure... but also entertaining... like if you type bat and then in the margins all these bat links
    Eliza Madrigal: just like window shopping
    Zen Arado: maybe they are getting too good at it
    Eliza Madrigal: I feel like its gone so far as to lose its potency a bit
    Eliza Madrigal: I shop way less than even 5 years ago
    Alfred Kelberry: zen, you teach the system the more you buy :)
    Zen Arado: I know
    Eliza Madrigal: but I like going to shops now, whereas back then found it very stressful
    Zen Arado: well I am buying more books now on Kindle
    Zen Arado: it is so easy
    Eliza Madrigal: ah :)
    Eliza Madrigal: that might be dangerous
    Zen Arado: one click and you've got it
    Zen Arado: and that book leads to other books
    Alfred Kelberry: i haven't bought a real book for ages now
    Zen Arado: spiralling into book hell
    Zen Arado: book addiction
    Alfred Kelberry: *counts how many trees he's saved*
    Zen Arado: need a book fix
    Alfred Kelberry: :)
    oO0Oo Resident thinks... hmmm.. if we can just fashion some little kitty water skis, a wee boat...
    Zen Arado: just one more
    Eliza Madrigal: the bad taste I have in my mouth from years of buying in, makes it hard to buy things now which is a bit of a problem
    Alfred Kelberry: zen, and you manage to read them all?
    Zen Arado: and then I'll stop....
    Zen Arado: no
    Zen Arado: tahts the problem
    Alfred Kelberry: heh
    Eliza Madrigal: haha
    Alfred Kelberry: well, make a rule. no new book until you finish the one you're reading :)
    oO0Oo Resident: how about a PaB community library, with free books that are unencumbered to share
    Eliza Madrigal: what if it is terrible?
    Alfred Kelberry: um...
    Alfred Kelberry: too bad :)
    Eliza Madrigal: haha, and nice idea Sam
    Alfred Kelberry: can you return it?
    Zen Arado: too hard Alf
    Eliza Madrigal: I like holding a book still... order lots of used books mostly
    Zen Arado: I don't have room for them
    Eliza Madrigal: I keep few though, long term
    Zen Arado: will have to give a lot away
    Eliza Madrigal: yes
    Zen Arado: (then I can buy more)
    Eliza Madrigal: the kindle seems really nice though
    Alfred Kelberry: i've read an interesting article that compared the ancient scroll with the current ebooks
    oO0Oo Resident: Read that too Boxy
    oO0Oo Resident: :)
    Zen Arado: oh?
    Alfred Kelberry: there's always a trade off. you can't navigate as easily on a screen than a real book for example.
    Zen Arado: yeh true
    Eliza Madrigal would like to have to go back to wax sealing letters and sending them snail mail or by carrier, hah
    Zen Arado: can't flip through
    Alfred Kelberry: yet it takes much less space
    Alfred Kelberry: aww, so romantic, eliza :)
    oO0Oo Resident ties a wee message to the leg of a carrier pidgeon, and sends it toward Miami Florida USA
    Alfred Kelberry: heh
    Eliza Madrigal: aw, maybe not by pidgeon, though they may need work too
    Zen Arado: not a reliale method Sam :)
    oO0Oo Resident: Ghost Dog
    Eliza Madrigal giggles
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Alfred Kelberry: poor pigeons. no union to stand for their rights.

    Zen Arado: (wonders how old Alf is)
    Alfred Kelberry: heh
    Alfred Kelberry: well, univac was way before my time :)
    oO0Oo Resident: in dog years?
    Eliza Madrigal: haha.... this is great
    Alfred Kelberry: but i like computer history :)
    Alfred Kelberry: your average phone is now more powerful than this beast taking up the whole room :)
    oO0Oo Resident: *200 mathematical calculations per second*
    Eliza Madrigal: hehe
    Eliza Madrigal: amazing
    Eliza Madrigal: even processing punctuation marks!
    oO0Oo Resident: lol

    oO0Oo Resident: Have not :)
    Alfred Kelberry: oh, i haven't
    Alfred Kelberry: looks interesting
    Alfred Kelberry: ok, must watch it :)
    Eliza Madrigal: yes it is a must
    Zen Arado: like Eddie Izzard on computing
    Zen Arado: :)
