    2010.08.07 01:00 - We and the Hexagon
    The Guardian for this meeting was PlayAsBeing. The lack of comments is by Calvino Rabeni.
    Calvino Rabeni: Hello Cosmic <333
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: Hello Cal <3<3<3
    Calvino Rabeni: And Bert :)
    Calvino Rabeni: So Cos, you see the pool here - is it shaped like a circle
    Calvino Rabeni: ?
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: yes...
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: how it is in your screen??
    Calvino Rabeni: To me, it is a hexagon, and also this mat we sit on, is a hexagon
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: ohh
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: hmm
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: how it looks so different?
    Calvino Rabeni: I guess it did not "really" change
    Calvino Rabeni: but my viewer has messed it up
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: hehe, all is possible ;)

     
    2010.08.07 07:00 - rain and bourbon
    Bruce Mowbray: So, today is the last day of the Nova Scotia retreat?
    Agatha Macbeth: I believe so
    Agatha Macbeth: They'll be on their way back tomorow
    Agatha Macbeth: All jet-lagged and depressed...
    Bruce Mowbray: from all appearances yesterday morning, they had a wonderful time.
    Agatha Macbeth: Probably
    Ewan Bonham: seemed like it..:)
    Bruce Mowbray: I could just "see" them showing SL to the cooks...! ;-)
    Bertram Jacobus: hehe. nice
    Agatha Macbeth: What's cooking?
    Ewan Bonham: They got quite a few laughs..
    Agatha Macbeth: I'll bet
    Ewan Bonham: And there was mention of how the food was really made with heart...so to speak
    Agatha Macbeth has never eaten heart
    Ewan Bonham: like there was akinship felt
    Bruce Mowbray: yes. I remember them saying that.
    Agatha Macbeth: They say that every time ;P  (It's probably true :D)

    Bruce Mowbray: I told them that I felt like I was there with them . . . and Pema said he'd put a plate on the table for me.
    Ewan Bonham: lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Good old Pem
    Bruce Mowbray: yes.

    2010.08.07 13:00 – Cubic Cucumbers
    Pila Mulligan: when I lived on Maui for 20 years, from 1985-2005 (yes Pila we can count!!! :), one of my neighbors was third generation Chinese
    Pila Mulligan: his grandparents had come over to Hawaii to work
    Pila Mulligan: he and his parents had been born on Maui
    Pila Mulligan: his parents and grandparents were Taoists
    --BELL–
    Pila Mulligan: I lived in a rural Chinese community and there was a Taoist temple there
    Pila Mulligan: quite a few families still keeping the old religion
    Pila Mulligan: but my neighbor, named Henry, had gone through a rebellion stage as a youth in the 60's, just as I had
    Bruce Mowbray: (just as we all did!)
    Pila Mulligan: like many of my contemporaries, I gave up Christian religion in favor of eastern philosophy
    adoro Rhapsody: ok
    Pila Mulligan: well, Henry gave up Taoism and became a Catholic :) lol  

    :-DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD  Classic Pila!  And the moral of this is.........

     

    2010.08.07 19:00 - Lighting Candles

    Poor Luci has had a hard month :{......
    Bruce Mowbray: a special occasion?
    Lucinda Lavender: well brace yourself.
    Bruce Mowbray: yes.....?
    Lucinda Lavender: coworker died one hour ago...
    Lucinda Lavender: just got the call and am shaking
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh my goodness, Luci. I am so sorry.
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes.
    Lucinda Lavender: hers was an expected one tho
    Lucinda Lavender: I am not surprised
    Lucinda Lavender: cancer
    Bruce Mowbray: mmmm. it is always still a sort of shock.
    Lucinda Lavender: oh yes
    Bruce Mowbray: I am so sorry.
    Lucinda Lavender: and tomorrow I go to a friends memorial
    Bruce Mowbray: another friend....
    Lucinda Lavender: ...the bridge builder
    Lucinda Lavender: yes
    Lucinda Lavender: did I tell you before about him?
    Bruce Mowbray: Can you handle all of this, Luci?
    Lucinda Lavender: well yes
    Lucinda Lavender: Calvino is coming over soon
    Bruce Mowbray: good. He is a good man.  (True)
    Lucinda Lavender: just for support
    Bruce Mowbray: in RL, you mean?
    Lucinda Lavender: yes
    Bruce Mowbray: good.

    Bruce Mowbray: The think tank was really good today!
    Pamala Clift: it did surprise me how many facets came out that I had not supposed
    Lucinda Lavender: just wondering if you would need a note card and the information that this is a recorded session.
    Pamala Clift: np. I have given permission
    Lucinda Lavender: If that is not ok I can delete you name...
    Lucinda Lavender: thanks:)
    Pamala Clift: I dont say anything all that profound.. smile
    Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    Bruce Mowbray: Have you been thinking about the "body's memory"?
    Bruce Mowbray: That seemed like a new idea to you, Pam.
    Pamala Clift: yes.. I understand that your body remembers how to type and ride a bike, but not anything outside of that
    Bruce Mowbray: ok.
    Bruce Mowbray: It is quite an involved study among neurobiologists right now.
    Bruce Mowbray: They are discovering that there are quite complex neural networks around the heart and around the abdomen.
    Pamala Clift: I havent had any experience that I can recal that would indicate that touching me will bring back a memory
    Pamala Clift: as in a massage
    Bruce Mowbray: This has, perhaps, given rise to our thinking "I feel it in my heart" and "I feel it in my guts."
    Pamala Clift: nods.. yes I do get the feeling in my gut..
    Bruce Mowbray: Most of our memories, of course, are not conscious.
    Bruce Mowbray: and that's probably a good thing!
    Pamala Clift: that is what is what I have been pondering
    Bruce Mowbray: The mind does a wonderful job of sorting out that stuff.
    Pamala Clift: but if it sorts it out wrong....
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, as with "numbing."
    Pamala Clift: and ties it to things that are not so or not related
    Bruce Mowbray: yes -- mis-connection can be a serious problem.

    Lucinda Lavender: currently I am wearing the blue chalcedony stone that reminds me of my conductors eyes...he died last saturday...
    Bruce Mowbray: It is biologically adaptive for the infant to do so.
    Pamala Clift: my philosophy is not limited that I know of..smile
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh my.
    Bruce Mowbray: Your "conductor" . . . ?
    Lucinda Lavender: That was what the child was looking at ...
    Lucinda Lavender: yes...killed in a car crash in a thunderstorm.
    Lucinda Lavender: look up osscs.org there is also a youtube channel now
    Lucinda Lavender: we sang requiems!
    --BELL--
    Lucinda Lavender: so today I was thinking about how much the singers need to get together and sing
    Rain Southpaw: oh yes
    Lucinda Lavender: Pamala would you like to share where you are from?
    Lucinda Lavender: Have you ever heard of George Shangrow?
    Pamala Clift: I am very bad with names.. so no I don't remember him but I am reading about him..
    Pamala Clift: I am south of Spokane
    Lucinda Lavender: ah...
    Pamala Clift: in a little town
    Bruce Mowbray: Do you not see? How he shines ever brighter, soaring on high, stars sparkling around him?
    Lucinda Lavender: yes!

    I love you guys....

    2010.08.08 01:00 - Sweet life
    Roxana Falconer: I've run into a few cultural differences in talking with people
    Yakuzza Lethecus: 5 german guardian´s totally, if i count correctly
    Yakuzza Lethecus: not here right now
    Bertram Jacobus: which ones for example, if i may ask roxana ?
    Qt Core: that's is the best thing in international chatting ;-)
    Roxana Falconer: Well a woman from Japan was asking how any woman could raise children without an income
    Roxana Falconer: I didn't understand the question.
    Roxana Falconer: I said well a woman must work
    Roxana Falconer: or she is married and her husband works
    Roxana Falconer: but she still said that
    Roxana Falconer: she didn't understand how a married woman could raise children without income
    Bertram Jacobus: hm - may be she referred to really poor people like in africa or such perhaps ?
    Roxana Falconer: I was then very confused
    Roxana Falconer: no
    Bertram Jacobus: ok
    Roxana Falconer: as it turns out I told her that a couple must pool their money. and if a woman stays at home with the children
    Roxana Falconer: then her husband is responsible for the income
    Roxana Falconer: she said...."really"?
    Roxana Falconer: I didn't say much after that
    Moon Fargis: hmmm well thats basicly also in japan like that :)
    Bertram Jacobus: i hope she was not kidding you ...
    Roxana Falconer: the conversation was going on when I entered the room
    Moon Fargis: well it will be seldom anyway you met japan people in SL cus they mostly dont talk english verry well
    Roxana Falconer: she went off on birth control in the same manner.
    Roxana Falconer: I just didn't say much because I felt that I was missing something in how she was making her point
    Roxana Falconer: a language or cultural barrier perhaps


    2010.08.08 07:00 - Dawn of Spirituality

    (AKA Return of the Crow :)

    Adams Rubble: Hello Corvi. What a long time since I have seen you
    Blissful Badger: give me an example of what you're talking about
    Archmage Atlantis: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Hello, Corvus.
    Archmage Atlantis: Hello,
    Bolonath Crystal: namaste corvus
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: Hello, Adams...I've missed you. Hi, Bruce, hi all.
    Archmage Atlantis: Corvus
    Sartre Placebo: hi corvus
    adoro Rhapsody: namaste corvus
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Corvi :)
    Selene Northman: Greetings, Corvus :)
    Blissful Badger: Hello corvus, how's the flying today?
    Agatha Macbeth: Bliss, you have a fish on your back?
    Adams Rubble: Jiraiya was talking what would happen if the laws of physics sudden;y changes
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: wonderful
    Blissful Badger: probably I went swimming this morning
    Agatha Macbeth: :DDDDDDDDD

    I should perhaps point out here that Corvi and I spent much of the remainder of the session in IM and then went off to Mugunghwa for a conversation which went on for about three hours!  Consequently, I missed the subsequent Guardian Meeting.

    Bruce Mowbray: Where is the balance between chaos and rigidity?
    Archmage Atlantis: Yes, that is the given first name
    Bruce Mowbray: That's where to look for "natural laws."
    Bolonath Crystal: someone did that. as far as i remember life only exists far from balance
    Archmage Atlantis: Good question, imo, Bruce



    2010.08.08 13:00 - Stand like a tree. Sit like a frog. Lie down like a rotting log
    Bruce Mowbray: I've just come from a RL Quaker Meeting.
    Pema Pera: basically you can just cut and paste what you get sent and put it directly on the wiki -- and if you like, you can then add comments, which of course is more work but also more fun!
    Pema Pera: how was that meeting?
    Bruce Mowbray: It was a wonderful Meeting.
    Bruce Mowbray: Some wonderful folks and wonderful energy in the group.

    Pema Pera: do you often go?
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, every Sunday afternoon in Circleville, Ohio.
    Bruce Mowbray: How are you, Eos?
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi, Bruce and Pema!
    Pema Pera: I really should attend some of those meetings too -- from all I hear there is a lot of common ground with our PaB meetings here
    Pema Pera: (talking about Quaker meetings, Eos)
    Eos Amaterasu: Ah!
    Bruce Mowbray: absolutely there is common ground.
    Bruce Mowbray: I especially like Quakers' respect for the silence.
    Eos Amaterasu: emptying out is common ground
    Bruce Mowbray: indeed. But as with all spiritual traditions, there is broad diversity with Quakers.
    Bruce Mowbray: Some are atheistic pantheists -- some are Christ-centered conservatives.
    Bruce Mowbray: A FUN lot, altogether!
    Pema Pera: but they tolerate the diversity well, I gather?
    Bruce Mowbray: They tolerate diversity very well -- and encourage it, at least in the groups I've been part of.
    Pema Pera: that's great!
    Pema Pera: Hi Wol !
    Eos Amaterasu thinks about pan-everywhere theists

    Pema Pera is still pondering how to describe the retreat: a sense of flow, of natural process, lots of walks, talks, meals, explorations, but never rushed and all occurring spontaneously, it felt.
    Eos Amaterasu: as long as a blueberry
    Wol Euler: and as wide as the howl of a coyote
    Eos Amaterasu: awoo! awoo!
    Wol Euler: it was packed full of emptiness, organized on a schedule of no-time

    Bruce Mowbray: wow. I sure wish I'd been able to attend that retreat!
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Wol Euler: there will be more, bruce.

    [Bruce is in a very noisy sports bar.  The bar's electricity goes off.  Everything goes dark, and the bar's wi-fi crashes. Bruce crashes.]

    Wol Euler: I guess that idea threw him  

    BWWWWWWWWAAAAHAAAAHAH!!!!!   /me hugs Wol *tightly*


    2010.08.08 19:00 - Spirit Walks
    Bruce Mowbray: Hello, Cal.
    Calvino Rabeni: Good evening Bruce - how are you tonight?
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, actually, I am a bit nervous tonight.
    Calvino Rabeni: Ah, how are you with that?
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm following the flight of a private plane from Eastern Wash. to Seattle's Boeing Field:
    Bruce Mowbray: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N567AB
    Calvino Rabeni: You know someone on the plane...
    Bruce Mowbray: One of the persons on this flight told me that he/she had a dream last night that her deceased grandmother came to her in a dream (last night) and said that she would be coming to get her.
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm not a superstitious man -- nor one prone to speculation about dreams...
    Bruce Mowbray: and yet, I've been thinking about this all day and following the flight since it took of from the Bay Area.

    Bruce Mowbray: Don't know if I've lready told you guys this, but I walked alone from St. Louis to Astoria, Oregon -- when I was 34.
    Bruce Mowbray: about 2,000 miles -- 89 days.
    Bruce Mowbray: Lewis and Clark Trail.
    Calvino Rabeni: That is an impressive pilgrimage, I'm inspired to hear about it
    Ewan Bonham: Wow...
    Bruce Mowbray: It was really a pilgrimage for me, Ewan.
    Bruce Mowbray: I was suicidal at the time.
    Bruce Mowbray: My friends told me to give it one last try.
    Ewan Bonham: Wow..must have been a life changer..
    Bruce Mowbray: I made a "deal" with them: I would walk to the West Coast, and if I still felt like killing myself, I would. They agreed to the deal. They WON!

    Bruce Mowbray: Nature always has the best medicine.
    Ewan Bonham: And you gravitate to it?
    Bruce Mowbray: I AM it!

    *Hugs* Brucie :)))

    Bruce Mowbray: We were NEVER OUTSIDE of Nature.
    Calvino Rabeni: Yes it is an offering, with just the right quality needed for that time
    Calvino Rabeni: (which is the "medicine")
    Bruce Mowbray: We were always right there -- AS Nature, but we denied our identity.
    Bruce Mowbray: yes, Cal.
    Bruce Mowbray: Thank you.
    Calvino Rabeni: and to walk with receptiveness and devotion
    Bruce Mowbray: Thanks.
    Bruce Mowbray: a prayer.
    Bruce Mowbray: infinite numbers of layers.
    Calvino Rabeni: It might be of ANY quality
    Calvino Rabeni: like fiery, or in huge swooping chunks, or lyrically gliding
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh! Yes!
    Bruce Mowbray: SUCH a dance!
    Calvino Rabeni: nature's symphony has many movements and great dynamic range
    Calvino Rabeni: and asks you to dance with it, to dance it

    2010.08.09 01:00 - Different kind of wondering here ;)
    (Cosmicflower, what on earth did you do with the text here?  It's ENORMOUS! [giggles])

    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: I have woke up something about between 6 yo 7 am
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: last night
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: here was HUGE thunder with sky lots of lights
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: I remember not seen that kind of tunder before
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: some lightnings seemed to strike on earth too
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: I could not sleep, had just to look at it and wonder its beauty

    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: I have not been in Venezia, would love to
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: thinking if that place is the same still than in "good old times" ;)
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: when Venez had its glory
    Qt Core: been there twice with school... i even saw one of my teachers falling in a canal :-)
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: oohhh
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: hoh
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: was this teacher drinking something?? Hehe
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: I have kind of feel of Venez to be a city of Love and Romance
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: and parties
    Cosmicflower Ushimawa: just a sec
    Archmage Atlantis: Venice has been dealing with the rising waters problem for centuries
    Archmage Atlantis: The Dutch have a ingenious system in place also
    Qt Core: he was so sure we should turn right at a turn that he didn't notice the steps he got to went direct in the water

    Mama mia! :-DDD



    2010.08.09 07:00 - Dark Matter's Rap
        "Dark matter: Do we need it?  What is it?  Where is it?  How much?
        What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?"
                                                   David Weinberg


    Pema Pera:  In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. (Douglas Adams)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: heh
    Lucinda Lavender: thx!
    Lila Darkmatter laughs
    Storm Nordwind: However the creator did leave a last, apologetic message to his creation :)
    Pema Pera: which is/was ?
    Pema Pera trying to remember . . . .
    Storm Nordwind: I can't tell you... that would spoil the surprise! But...
    Storm Nordwind: It is written in fire in letters thirty feet high on the far side of the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains in the land of Sevorbeupstry on the planet of Preliumtarn, which orbits the star Zarss, which is located in the Grey Binding Fiefdoms of Saxaquine.
    Pema Pera: ah yes, of course, how could I forget :-)
    Eden Haiku: smiles
    Lila Darkmatter: all so simple :)

    Lucinda Lavender: In seeing the word cultivator above Pema's head I am wondering what he has seen popping up recently...
    Pema Pera: mushrooms
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: heh
    Pema Pera: lots of them, especially after the rain
    Lucinda Lavender: what color?
    Eden Haiku: on rotting logs...
    Pema Pera: in the forest around the retreat
    Pema Pera: yes, many of them in many colors
    Lucinda Lavender: nods
    Pema Pera: the rusty greys one were the most delicately textured
    Pema Pera: coming off the trunks of trees at right angles
    Pema Pera: the bright yellow ones appeared in the middle of paths preferentially, like traffic signs
    Lucinda Lavender: :)
    Pema Pera: the white one came in bunches, off the side of the paths, like bouquets
    Lucinda Lavender: ll is reminded of a dream...with a person in it saying...get ready for a time of transformation...a little like being a mushroom...

    Blissful Badger: Eden, can you answer a question about PaB for me?
    Eden Haiku: With pleasure, if I know the answer :) I see you are interested in community building...
    Blissful Badger: Yes! I wonder why there IS a record of the conversations. What purpose does it serve?
    Eden Haiku: My feeling is that, without it, there wouldn't be a community.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire thinks.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: the purpose for myself is to let me share the conversation and ideas with people who can't be at the session
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I actually used to read all the logs
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: even if I couldn't come
    Eden Haiku: PaB being an experiment, it is very useful to have records of how this experiment is being done.
    Blissful Badger: A community needs a written record? Do you think others read it?
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: i think that we do.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: and that we refer back to some ideas in it.
    Eden Haiku: Oh yes, I read most of the logs most of the time :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I think the time I was a scribe, even when i didn't read every log anymore
    Eden Haiku: So I feel close to people I almost never meet.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: it helped me to create new ideas in my own head
    Blissful Badger: Ok thanks, that helps. I haven't had time to read the logs - there must be hours of them!
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: yes, I've had that experience, too, though it's a little erie sometimes
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: like knowing people the way one knows a celebrity or an author.
    Blissful Badger: ;-)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles warmly.
    Eden Haiku: Well, I never was able to catch up with the prehistoric times of PaB, but I try to keep the pace of the logs now, :)
    Eden Haiku: Yes, much like knowing an author by reading his or her books...
    Blissful Badger: I find that when I'm here it's immersive and deeply in the present. To read that experience as a past history would be odd for me
    Blissful Badger: I should have a look at the records, obviously!!
    Eden Haiku: Well, the experience is different when you only read, that's for sure :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: very much different to "consume" than to participate
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: but I read participatorily.
    Blissful Badger: So much of the time we're struggling to work things through.
    Blissful Badger: To make sense of things collectively.
    Eden Haiku: Even reading a session you just participated in is quite an experience. You realize you missed parts of the chat, misunderstood a few things...It is very enlightening.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: reading the logs is sometimes like doing the research before you start writing the paper.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: where you argue and chew over in your mind
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: and then come to a session and "write the paper"
    Blissful Badger: Nice but fortunately we don't have a paper to write!
    Corvuscorva Nightfire writes the paper in her mind all the time.
    Blissful Badger: because we are always talking about different things


    2010.08.09 13:00 - Return of the Wol....and Eliza!
    Agatha Macbeth: WOL WELCOME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dash Earthboy: hi wol
    Wol Euler beams. Thank you!
    adoro Rhapsody: Hey!
    MarkMonet Thor: Hello Wol
    Agatha Macbeth: Still jet-lagged?
    Wol Euler: yep
    Agatha Macbeth: Awww
    Wol Euler: but trying to live by normal times

    Wol Euler counts on her fingers. Blueberry lions enoughness.
    Bertram Jacobus: hehe. ty ! :-))
    Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, blueberry...
    Wol Euler: each of those words unpacks to about 400 other words of explanation

    Agatha Macbeth: Return of the Liz...return of the Liz...
    Eliza Madrigal: strange that now I'm wearing clothing I put on months ago... hah
    Agatha Macbeth: Hope you washed it ;-)
    Eliza Madrigal: So nice to *see* everyone
    Wol Euler: indeed :)
    Mickorod Renard: likewise
    arabella Ella: lovely to see you again
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice to *see* you too!!
    Bruce Mowbray: good to *see* you too.
    Bertram Jacobus: :-) ...
    Agatha Macbeth: Snap

    Wol Euler: one thing that should have happened at the retreat, but didn't
    Bruce Mowbray: although not tailless.
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh? listens...
    Wol Euler: and which I wish had happened is
    Wol Euler: onigokko
    Bruce Mowbray listen. . . .
    Eliza Madrigal: hahahah, yes indeed
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    arabella Ella: LOL
    MarkMonet Thor: hmmm
    Eliza Madrigal rushes for her inventory...
    Wol Euler: I can't believe we didn't do this in RL when we had the chance

    Eliza Madrigal: Okay... here is "Forest Practice" according to Jim Drescher: Sit Like a Frog Stand like a tree. Sit like a frog. Lie down like a rotting log. See forms like an owl. Hear sounds like the white-tailed deer. Smell the wind like a horse. Taste nectar like a bee. Feel your world like a bob cat. Be discriminating without commentary. Be fully human: Upright and balanced, Expansive and sensitive, Tender and fearless, Open, spacious and relaxed. There is nothing missing So take the royal seat --- Protect this earth and all our relations. whf april 2009 See How It Is First see how it is. Then just be --- open, spacious and relaxed. Now, what draws you to engage In uncovering inherent richness? Honestly and thoroughly explore your doubt, But don’t take refuge there. Penetrate the veils that obscure Primordial wisdom. Rest there. Relax into wakefulness. Wake up into relaxation With things as they are. Nothing is missing So take the royal seat. Protect this earth and All our relations.

    Eliza Madrigal: Wol would you like to explain the blueberries? :)
    Wol Euler: hmmm
    Bleu Oleander: my dogs love bleuberries
    Wol Euler: who started it, I wonder?
    Wol Euler: all the food at the retreat was fresh and organic
    Mickorod Renard: did Storm go?
    Eliza Madrigal: not this time Mick
    Wol Euler: much of it came from the farm itself, including the blueberries that we had at lunch one day, early on
    arabella Ella: how many were you in all?
    Mickorod Renard: ok,,i cud imagine him having a stock of pea shooters for blueberries
    Wol Euler: after lunch, we were talking about experiencing things-that-are, about "the is-ness of all that is"
    Wol Euler: and somebody mentioned the blueberries as an example of thing that are.
    Bleu Oleander: or were
    Wol Euler: and for the rest of the retreat, they were our totem, our token example of really-being-ness

    2010.08.09 19:00 - Talk about upcoming retreats
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i just looked at the pab wiki and saw a retreat in new orleans, omg
    --BELL--
    Corvuscorva Nightfire nods...tell me if you have any ideas for place or anything.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I've never been.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: holy crap
    SophiaSharon Larnia: I have a few
    SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: well thank god.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire grins.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :D
    SophiaSharon Larnia: (wonders why wait for the rest of 90 seconds when she tromped on it? )
    Corvuscorva Nightfire laughs.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: I know the nice places in the quarter
    SophiaSharon Larnia: and where to avoid
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: oh good!
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: send me all your best places, then.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: out of the quarter too, depends on the budget
    SophiaSharon Larnia: no need for transportation within the city itself
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: nods...I was thinking it could be retreat for those of us in the us who were a little uh..less than wealthy?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: unless you want to, but parking is awful (sneaky signs and such)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm retreat like though
    Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: a dimension I didnt explore when i was there
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: heh
    SophiaSharon Larnia: other the voodoo shops and the like
    SophiaSharon Larnia: haha
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: hehehe
    SophiaSharon Larnia: than*
    Corvuscorva Nightfire grins. I would love to explore the city some before or after the retreat
    SophiaSharon Larnia: retreat like, prob dont want to be in the quarter or around frenchmens street then, more the garden district? hmm
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: voodoo shops included.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
