    Too much adrenaline for a Monday morning

    Eden Haiku: Hello Eliza :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Morning Eden :))
    Eliza Madrigal: Hope all is very well with you
    Eden Haiku: Yes, indeed:) How do you feel this morning?
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm having a bit of a day :) Must leave early to get to doctor's appointment (not that early), and just spilled coffee on laptop @@
    Eliza Madrigal: So I'm backing that up, and praying :)
    Eden Haiku: Oh no!
    Eliza Madrigal: It is my only Mac, too, so entirely different content etc
    Eliza Madrigal: so far seems okay but too much adrenaline for a Monday morning ^^
    Eden Haiku: One trick is to turn it off, let it dry upside down like an open book for one week.
    Eliza Madrigal: a whole week?
    Eden Haiku: Yep! It workedwhen I spilled a glass of water on it. Not sure with coffee?
    Eliza Madrigal: when it finishes backing up I'll try a variation of that, thank you
    Eliza Madrigal: I do need to use it for a while today hm
    Eliza Madrigal: but anyway.... no need to dwell :)
    Eden Haiku: Did you get some sparks when It closed down?
    Eliza Madrigal: it isn't closed... is backing up on the lacie
    Eliza Madrigal: then I'll close it... but no sparks or reaction so fr
    Eden Haiku: Ah, was it just a bit of coffee?
    Eliza Madrigal: was quite a bit
    Eliza Madrigal: :(
    Bleu Oleander: 's current display-name is "Bleu".
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu :))
    Bleu Oleander: morning!
    Eliza Madrigal: Would love to hear happy tales of wild adventures


    Eliza Madrigal: lol
    Eden Haiku: I don,'tmean to alarm you. Maybe it will be jut ok...Mine works perfectly well after a whole glass of water :) Hello Bleu :)
    Eliza Madrigal: that's hopeful Eden, ty :))
    Eden Haiku: Eliza spilled coffee on her Mac laptop...
    Bleu Oleander: oh no!
    Eliza Madrigal: oh yes
    Eden Haiku: Wild adventures into the giant body?
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Bleu Oleander: might make it faster ha!
    Eliza Madrigal: any and all adventures welcome, but was so glad to see your note on the wiki Eden
    Eliza Madrigal laughs.... perfect, Bleu
    Eliza Madrigal: ::crosses fingers:::
    Eden Haiku: Yes, I have been exploring Eliza and it's quite interesting. I'm still in the introduction of the book though. .. Lagging.
    Bleu Oleander: a friend of mine is experimenting with it too, but she's not in sl
    Eden Haiku: The giant body appeared to me as a vision I had in a dream years and years ago.
    --BELL--
    Eden Haiku: Captures it in a verse; "une géante endormie en plein ciel"
    Eliza Madrigal: interesting!
    Eden Haiku: It translates as: a giantess asleep across the sky (or something like that)
    Eden Haiku: I drew her.
    Bleu Oleander: like Nout?
    Eden Haiku: Let me show you
    Eliza Madrigal: nice :))
    Eden Haiku: The one from my vision was not as colorful.
    Eliza Madrigal: she reminds me of sunshine ^.^
    Eliza Madrigal: full of energy
    Bleu Oleander: fun Eden!
    Eden Haiku: But as I was drawing her, all the currents of energy in the body came to me...
    Eliza Madrigal zooms
    Eliza Madrigal: oh wow
    Eden Haiku: I started drawing from a David Lynch drawing I found googling "flying woman"
    Eliza Madrigal: can see and feel all the movement
    Bleu Oleander: yes!
    Bleu Oleander: very alive
    Eliza Madrigal: nodding
    Eden Haiku: The one in my vision wasn.t like Nout Bleu, no, not arching. She was sleeping with her head upon her arms but I was technically challenger to draw that
    Eden Haiku: Then, during the night after I drew her,. I had a dream about walls being too colorful and that I needed more rosy beige
    Eden Haiku: So I drew her in the nude, like this
    Bleu Oleander: I think we should put up everyone's drawings of their giant bodies in the art gallery ... what do you think?
    Eliza Madrigal: she's wonderful
    Eden Haiku: Yes, that would be fun Bleu!
    Eliza Madrigal: might be, for those who feel comfortable drawing... I don't think I could do a drawing, at least not yet
    Eden Haiku: In my mind, sheher hairt is made of raven feathers, very dark.
    Bleu Oleander: or does that make the imaginative body too much of a "thing"?
    Bleu Oleander: becomes fixed if put down on canvas in a way?
    Eliza Madrigal: it might for some. I like to revisit the idea down the road though, but we're at such early stages
    Bleu Oleander: my vision is really very fluid
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm sketching, but not bodies
    Bleu Oleander: I love this though Eden ... it inspires!
    Eden Haiku: "intertwining, completely interpenetrating dance, they are still a free-flowing presence of translucent outlines and surfaces"
    Eliza Madrigal: mmm, yes
    Eliza Madrigal: love her too
    Eliza Madrigal: she is very balanced for having so much going on!
    Bleu Oleander: yes, she's nice too
    Eliza Madrigal: that's interesting that you have a friend outside of SL to talk with too Bleu
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Eden Haiku: The second one is like a breathing one...
    Eliza Madrigal: oooh Eden, different feeling but like this one as much
    Bleu Oleander: she's about to go to Japan to do the 88 temple pilgrimage at Shikoku
    Bleu Oleander: http://simplyjustwalking.com/ you'll be able to follow her on her blog
    Eliza Madrigal: marvelous... maybe she can visit giant buddha bodies
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Bleu Oleander: it will take her two months
    Eden Haiku: Wow!
    Eliza Madrigal: nice capture of light in her photos
    Eden Haiku: So you both have a friend reading TSK as you do?
    Bleu Oleander: she's a great photographer
    Eliza Madrigal: I don't have someone outside of SL to read with, no
    Bleu Oleander: she's taking TSK with her on her iphone
    Eden Haiku: Nice :)
    --BELL--
    Eliza Madrigal: wonderful
    Eden Haiku: Tks for the blog's link Bleu!
    Eliza Madrigal: I've been struggling, but this weekend was able to get in touch with breath better and find stability
    Eliza Madrigal: very inspired by lady in space... makes me think of david bowie too
    Eliza Madrigal: realize my images have not had hair
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Bleu Oleander: so interesting to see these visions next to each other but thousands of years apart!
    Eden Haiku: Yes, when Bowie sings "dropped my cell phone down there" or something like that..
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Eliza Madrigal: energizing, these images...
    Eliza Madrigal: can you describe this for me Bleu? I haven't studied egypt the way you two have :)
    Bleu Oleander: is it a deep human desire to be a giant body and hold the universe?
    Bleu Oleander: Nout or Nut is the sky goddess
    Eden Haiku: Look up here, man, I'm in danger/ I've got nothing to lose/I,Ç'm so high it makes my brain whirl/Dropped my cell phone down below (in Lazarrus)
    Eliza Madrigal: remarkable that he had presence of mind to do that
    Eliza Madrigal: there is this separateness about the giant body at first, this closedness, then openness without undoing the separateness... kind of wild.
    Eliza Madrigal: what is far is near in ways hadn't considered, vice versa.... guess like intimacy of communing with sky goddess? contradictory?
    Eden Haiku: As I was drawing the second giantess yesterday, a memory came back to me.
    Eliza Madrigal listens
    Eden Haiku: I was 8 years old when my young uncle died. Everyone was crying and I didn't understand what death was.
    Eden Haiku: As I went to bed as I asked myself how it must feel to be "dead"
    Eden Haiku: And I saw myself flying through the stars.
    Eden Haiku: My young 8 years old body...
    Eden Haiku: There is an intimacy of us with the sky goddess every time we fly into sleep...
    Eden Haiku: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: beautiful wonder
    Eliza Madrigal: trying to remember what it felt like to be an 8yo child... imagining where one 'goes'
    Bleu Oleander: Nut was the goddess of the sky and all heavenly bodies, a symbol of protecting the dead when they enter the afterlife. According to the Egyptians, during the day, the heavenly bodies—such as the sun and moon—would make their way across her body. Then, at dusk, they would be swallowed, pass through her belly during the night, and be reborn at dawn.
    Bleu Oleander: your dream taps into these narratives in a way
    Eliza Madrigal: so this graphic shows the travel of the heavens across her body?
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: sigh I don't wanna, but have to run to my doctor's appointment now... am going to spend some more time with these images tonight...
    Bleu Oleander: ok, I must go as well
    Eliza Madrigal: thank you both so much... such a rich session, so much
    Eden Haiku: Take care Eliza and good luck with the laptop!
    Bleu Oleander: lovely to be with you both
    Eliza Madrigal: thanks so much, (((love and blessings)))
    Eden Haiku: Bye, have a great week!
    Bleu Oleander: bye for now (((hugs)))
