    Dash Earthboy: my first in about what? more than a week?
    Eos Amaterasu: this moment is enough


    Dash Earthboy: Eos, could the moment also be half full?
    Eos Amaterasu: :-)

    Eos Amaterasu: just like this moment
    Paradise Tennant: smiles all round :) waves hiya o .. eos .. sine .. dash ..arch :)


    Eos Amaterasu: can you touch the fullness?
    Archmage Atlantis: Who is "you" in your question, Eos?
    Eos Amaterasu: good question, Arch :-)
    Eos Amaterasu: let's rest in that one as well
    Archmage Atlantis: k


    oO0Oo Resident: Billy Joel's Lullaby..(so beautiful) full moments.. recognised as living on.. half in and out of time and space
    Eos Amaterasu: I am half empty
    Dash Earthboy: in my current sleep-deprived state, it's best I not rest too long
    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?
    Dash Earthboy: focus
    Paradise Tennant: smiles at eos
    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
    oO0Oo Resident: hi Aph

    Eos Amaterasu: Arch has realized the half empty
    Dash Earthboy: hey Stev
    Eos Amaterasu: presented on a platter by humour


    oO0Oo Resident: hi Stevenaia
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Stevenaia
    stevenaia Michinaga: waves
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya Stevenaia

    sinequanon Sahara: well we have the goddess of Love
    stevenaia Michinaga: smiles
    Aphrodite Macbain smiles divinely
    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
    Aphrodite Macbain: Who was Mathnawi?

    --BELL--


    oO0Oo Resident bows to splash of wonder
    Paradise Tennant: namaste arch
    Paradise Tennant: rumi
    stevenaia Michinaga: hello Bert
    Aphrodite Macbain whispers "Hi Bertrum"

    oO0Oo Resident: [for the log: bye Archmage Atlantis.. guardian of flight]
    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


    oO0Oo Resident: shall we try creating one?
    sinequanon Sahara: persian...arabic ..and urdu poetry meters are more restrictive then english poetry
    Aphrodite Macbain: a poem Samuo?
    oO0Oo Resident: a prayer
    sinequanon Sahara: a lot of emphasis is made on rhyme and rhythm
    Aphrodite Macbain: to whom or what should the prayer be sent?
    Eos Amaterasu listens deeply
    sinequanon Sahara: the free verse and the blank verses are very uncommon here
    stevenaia Michinaga: everyone
    oO0Oo Resident: :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: to everyone?
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Aphrodite Macbain smiles
    Eos Amaterasu radiates omnidirectionally
    Aphrodite Macbain gets dizzy
    Paradise Tennant: smiles
    stevenaia Michinaga: what better place to direct a prayer.. no direction, every direction
    Eos Amaterasu: no need to spin, Aph
