Adams Rubble: nice fashionable rain gear Eden :)

Riddle Sideways: so, you are moved back to the city?

Eden Haiku: Lots of rain all night.

Adams Rubble: we had an eenzie teensie bit of rain last night

Eden Haiku: Yes back in town now. Moved in last Monday.

Eden Haiku: Something happened as I was greeting Riddle, a few minutes ago.

Riddle Sideways: ?

Eden Haiku: Heard a thump in the window

Eden Haiku: Thought it might be a bird (but it never happened)

Riddle Sideways: birds hit this office window often

Eden Haiku: It's a small bird, lying face up on the balcony

Adams Rubble: :(

Riddle Sideways: oh dear

Eden Haiku: Took a piece of paper towel to turn it back

Eden Haiku: It didn't move

Eden Haiku: Is it only stunned maybe?

Adams Rubble: might be

Riddle Sideways: might be

Adams Rubble: but prognosis not good for birds who hit windows

Riddle Sideways: give it some time

Eden Haiku: That's a bad omen isn’it? Even if I'm not superstitious, it’s sad...

Adams Rubble: not a bad omen, just a sad event

Eden Haiku: Yes. I will let it be. It's a small grey bird with a yellow belly...

Adams Rubble: it means your window was reflecting at that time

Eden Haiku: Thanks Adams. But the sun isn't out and I had no time to clean the windows last week...

Adams Rubble: of course

Eden Haiku: Will keep you posted about the bird situation as we go. Hope he's only stunned....

Eden Haiku: Was reading the yellow jackets situation of last week...

Riddle Sideways: yes, need constant updates on this breaking story

Riddle Sideways: oh, the Internet and WWWeb is so amazing. Who knew there were so many superstition meaning sites

Adams Rubble: after cats and vaccines, it is what the internet does best

Eden Haiku: Oh... better not read that, I will start being afraid...

Riddle Sideways: yes, get away from Those pages

Riddle Sideways: reading those sites may be harmful to mental health

Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: take 3 funny cat vids and get away from the computer

Adams Rubble: I have enough superstitions my mother taught me

 

A proper funeral

 

Eden Haiku: I see I'm not the only one confused about the Abraham-Isaac/Ishmael story...

Riddle Sideways: ah, the don't step on a crack

Eden Haiku: Awwwgrw!

Adams Rubble: my mother did not teach me that one

Riddle Sideways: good

Riddle Sideways: amazing to read that story yearly and get more different things out of one story

Eden Haiku: The Museum Annex created by Dubrovna looks great, with Shiva, Rama etc...

Riddle Sideways: yes, stayed and read many of the notes

Eden Haiku: Would you have a link for it Rubble?

Riddle Sideways: relogged there and read some more

Riddle Sideways: still not done

Eden Haiku: Wow, that's a lot of info to take in Riddle, should we quizz you :)

Riddle Sideways: OH NO

Eden Haiku: mischievously smiles

Riddle Sideways: did not know there would be a test

Adams Rubble raises hand "Call on me. Call on me"

Adams Rubble: just kidding

Riddle Sideways: not ready for the Monday snap quiz

Riddle Sideways: D-g ate the notecards

Eden Haiku: Ok, quizzing the brilliant kid of the class: how many arms sports the dancing Shiva Nataraj?

Adams Rubble: that isn’t in the exhibit :)

Adams Rubble: this reminds me of a role playing routine I saw this week (it is an old one)

Eden Haiku: Ah! ... Nataraj has four arms so you know. Would love to visit later or some other day.

Eden Haiku: Playing role routine?

Adams Rubble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMOKMS1MURk

Eden Haiku: Ah, not visible from here :(

Adams Rubble: sorry it is 6 minutes

Adams Rubble: it is a Gary Gulman routine that he did on Conan (I don' have a date)

Eden Haiku: Bird still stunned or dead.Starting to wonder what kind of proper funeral I can provide for the poor bird…

Adams Rubble: love your hair Eden, it is very different for you

Eden Haiku: Thanks Adams,

Eden Haiku: Closer to my RL hair :)

Adams Rubble: :)

 

[A big chunk of next section has been edited as we talked about our RL typists ]

 

Eden Haiku: What would you suggest for a bird funeral ceremony?

Eden Haiku: An AI interactive game/device downtown gave me 7 years of age last Saturday :)

Eden Haiku: That's the inner child you meet I guess :)

Riddle Sideways: have heard of that app

Eden Haiku: The poor bird is still inert

Eden Haiku: I guess its time had come...

Adams Rubble: very sorry the bird incident has darkened your morning. Would those bird stickers for windows be in order or is this a one time issue?

Eden Haiku: First time ever....

Riddle Sideways: probably will not happen again the

Riddle Sideways: n

Eden Haiku: Maybe I can bury the bird under autumn leaves in the park? And sing a little song? [did that!]

Adams Rubble: yes

Riddle Sideways: that would be nice

Eden Haiku: I feel so sad for the bird..,

Eden Haiku: I didn't even know it...

Eden Haiku: But he chose to thump on my window this morning, right at the beginning of the session

Eden Haiku: And died

Eden Haiku: Days of Awe indeed....

Adams Rubble: many birds die flying into windows

Eden Haiku: Heard of it, never experienced it...

Adams Rubble nods

Adams Rubble: same here

 

—BELL--

 

Eden Haiku: And your yellow jackets, what happened?

Adams Rubble: the yellow jackets are history. I swept up the bodies so the birds would not eat the poison

Riddle Sideways: sorry, but have to run out to put back some cables and stuff moved around yesterday, before the Monday people need them

Eden Haiku: History: it's a nice way to put it :)

Riddle Sideways: thank you and am very sorry the bird happened

Adams Rubble: will you be here tomorrow Riddle?

Eden Haiku: Thanks Riddle! Have a great Monday of Awe :)

Adams Rubble: whoops

 

APAPB

 

Adams Rubble: I am sorry the bird hit your window too eden but you must not feel guilty

Eden Haiku: No no, I don't feel guilty... Just wondering what is the significance of it...

Adams Rubble: light reflected in your window in a way that made the bird think it was an opening

Adams Rubble: it may have been the time of the year or the cloudy day or whatever

Adams Rubble: or a bird on a crazy path

Eden Haiku: Probably none. Just interpreting reality as we do all the time don't we?

Adams Rubble:yes, trying to make sense of appearances

Eden Haiku: A bird crazy path :)

Adams Rubble: we can always revert to APAPB :)

Adams Rubble: a presentation of Being

Adams Rubble: or presence

Adams Rubble: I get those two mixed up

Eden Haiku: Appearances presenting appearances playing as being is that it?

Adams Rubble: Appreciate the presentation of Appearance as the presence of Being

Adams Rubble: in this case life and death

Adams Rubble: the bird was

Eden Haiku: Ah, yes! Never memorized it as you see...

Eden Haiku: This is a Day of Awe, really...

Adams Rubble: When I had my visions, Pema always cautioned me not to over interpret them

Adams Rubble: to appreciate them and then move on

Eden Haiku: You had visions?

Adams Rubble: They did not make me a Joan of Arc (my words not his)

Adams Rubble: yes, they are recounted in my blog and in the logs

Eden Haiku: Joan was more into voices :)

Adams Rubble: I had voices too but I had to work to get rid of them

Eden Haiku: Will go explore the deep logs :)

Adams Rubble: not to get too puffed up but the avatar Adams Rubble helped in those :)

Eden Haiku: Appreciate and move on, nice way to go...

Eden Haiku: I see what you mean Adams and it's a part of you I was completely unaware of...

Eden Haiku: I appreciate the presentation of appearance of this as the presence of Being and I am in awe :)

Eden Haiku: Thank you

Adams Rubble: :)

 

—BELL--

 

Eden Haiku: I'm also dealing with visions and voices and I feel less alone :)

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: whoops. interruption. brb - understand if you have to go

Eden Haiku: ok

Adams Rubble: back

Eden Haiku: Chatting on Twitter as I wait to say goodbye to you and wish you a Monday of Awe!

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: Thank you for hosting and I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Adams Rubble: It was a good session :)

Eden Haiku: Nice to follow you on FB. I joined a few days ago only and was surprised you found me. So mysterious this world.

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: I had looked at your twitter but I am rarely on twitter

Adams Rubble: Nice to see your deer too

Adams Rubble: hard to keep more than one social media going

Adams Rubble: I don't know how you will be able to do it :)

Eden Haiku: Enjoy the presentation of appearances and thanks for the link to the Museum Annex :) I miss the deer. Nice cats in my neighborhood though :)

Eden Haiku: FB will

Eden Haiku: Will downsize a lot with FB, keep it to a minimum. Otherwise, I won't have time for LIFE!!!

Adams Rubble: OK, off to my many projects....

Adams Rubble: yes, FB can be time consuming.

Eden Haiku: Bye bye, thanks for being here!

Adams Rubble: lots of angry people complaining

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: whoops

Adams Rubble: how did that happen? [Adams found herself in the pool]

Adams Rubble: bye
