The Guardian for this meeting was Agatha Macbeth. The comments are by Agatha Macbeth. This particular session seemed to comprise three distinct segments: the first ending as Eliza leaves, followed by a somewhat poignant second part, and finally an interesting dialogue between Adoro and Cal after I left. Read this one through carefully, it is worth it.

Yakuzza Lethecus: hi aga
Agatha Macbeth: Hello again yaku :)
Agatha Macbeth: How did you say you got your tag purple again?

Maybe Yaku fell asleep again, as he appeared to miss this question...

Eliza Madrigal: Ah, no the lama of my temple is in town and teaching, so that will be a gift :)
Bertram Jacobus: whaow
Eden Haiku: And it seems it is going to be Eliza's year of enlightenment. I thought she was already ;))))
Bertram Jacobus: how cool eliza ! :-)
Agatha Macbeth always confuses lamas with llamas
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, llamas are gifted

--BELL--(1330)

Eliza Madrigal: Oh My... Eden is going to jump out of the cake!
adoro Rhapsody: peace of cake
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Calvino Rabeni: Hello and happy birthday - is anyone inside the cake?
Agatha Macbeth: The one-L lama, He's a priest. The two-L llama, He's a beast. And I would bet A silk pajama There isn't any Three-L lllama.
Archmage Atlantis: You think Aggie.....really
Agatha Macbeth: Ogden Nash
Eliza Madrigal: funny that my lama actually has a picture of himself with a llama no his facebook page :) funny guy
Eliza Madrigal: *on=no
Agatha Macbeth: But no 3L lllama?
Eden Haiku: remembers a lama who looked like a llama :)))
Eliza Madrigal: not yet
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Agatha Macbeth wonders what a 3L lllama would look like
Archmage Atlantis: Haven't met her yet, so no 3 lllama for me
Archmage Atlantis: Ah
Eden Haiku: Lllama is when you reach 3rd dan I guess :))
Agatha Macbeth: Could be a mammal with spiritual tendancies
Archmage Atlantis: A creature of myth
Eden Haiku: laughs at Aga's remark
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Eden Haiku: I think you are the most spiritual Being Agathita :))
Archmage Atlantis: Lately, I just turn at the rabbit hole without seeing it
Agatha Macbeth ponders
Eliza Madrigal: agrees with Eden
Agatha Macbeth: 'Follow the white rabbit'?
Eden Haiku: "In the spirit of fun in the fun of spirit" it said at a bar I used to go ;))
Archmage Atlantis: Lately, he has been a dwarf belgian bunny
Eliza Madrigal: oh my... just saw what you named the log Eden! eek ((( )))
Agatha Macbeth watches Morgano swallowing cake
Eden Haiku: wondering how it looks like
Archmage Atlantis: with cure flooply ears
Eden Haiku: I know, but no pressure Eliza, I think you are already there. No worries!
Eden Haiku: Already enlightened (((Eliza)))))
arabella Ella: what did you name the log then Eliza?
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, sweet
Agatha Macbeth: Let's hope it's true :p
Eliza Madrigal: Eden gives me the present of seeing me at the end
Eden Haiku: I called it 'The Year of Her Enlightenment" Ara
morgano Bravin: yummy cake
Eliza Madrigal: dessert before dinner :)
Agatha Macbeth: The dessert song
Archmage Atlantis: I think, you may mean, Agie, lets hop it's true
Agatha Macbeth groans
arabella Ella: lovely title Eden
Archmage Atlantis: You started the puns.....I only followed
Eliza Madrigal: Starting at the end to some extend does mean that we see each other as lacking nothing :)
Eliza Madrigal: *extent
Eliza Madrigal: not 'on the way' anywhere
Agatha Macbeth: I need to think about that Liz
Eliza Madrigal: so it is a beautiful blessing :)
Archmage Atlantis: yes, tis, Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: Am I too serious today? birthday hazard :)
Agatha Macbeth: Naww
Eden Haiku: Too serious, you ??? No way !
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Bertram Jacobus: the party pooper title belongs to me plz ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: how so Bert? :) have a topic? heheh
Agatha Macbeth: Do you poop at parties Bert?
Bertram Jacobus: i got it looong time ago from a canadian guy and liked it at once ! :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Ah well, with Canadians anything is possible [grin]
Eliza Madrigal now considers herself honorary Canadian, feeling quite at home in Nova Scotia :)
Eden Haiku: ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Mm, with the rotting logs...
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Agatha Macbeth: And the blueberries
Eden Haiku: And the beautiful mushrooms...
Archmage Atlantis: Still in US, thought I might go to Canada in that old war
arabella Ella: and lions
Eliza Madrigal: Indeed!

--BELL--(1345)

morgano Bravin: the mushrooms sound fun
Eliza Madrigal: rotting logs seem particularly apt to focus on, on one's birthday... hehehe
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe they were magic...
Eden Haiku: A bit confused about old wars and lions in Nova Scotia...
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Eliza Madrigal: and what mustrooms spring from
Eliza Madrigal: mushrooms rather... what an odd typo
Agatha Macbeth: A mustroom in the restroom
Archmage Atlantis: Blackberries, picking with my cop dad, looking for the men who stole rides on the railroad
Eliza Madrigal: The lion is about the moment one 'meets their lion' as in has an experience which 'wakes them up' to live differently
Eliza Madrigal: to 'get real'
Archmage Atlantis: Those were good berries
Agatha Macbeth listens for growling
Eliza Madrigal: the lion's roar unhinge-ing everything....
Eden Haiku: Ah! nice ;)))
Eliza Madrigal: might be an illness for one, or an argument/break up...
Agatha Macbeth: Where does that saying come from?
Archmage Atlantis: I said this once, the cat inside me is a snow panther......the rodent is a badger......the dog is a coyote
Eliza Madrigal: Well it was a story Wol told, in this case... better to let her share it perhaps
Archmage Atlantis: We all channel many
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, when she gets back online :((

I should point out here that Wol had emailed earlier to tell us she had lost ASDL connectivity

Eliza Madrigal: but the symbolism applies easily, yes
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zon
Zon Quar: hi hi hi
Eden Haiku: Saw a nice card with a kitten looking in a mirror: she was a lion in the reflection! Loved it!

Calvino Rabeni: bark less, wag more
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha, yes
Calvino Rabeni: hiss less, purr more
Agatha Macbeth: Thereby hangs a tail
Eliza Madrigal hums 'let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me...'
Eliza Madrigal: that might be a nursery rhyme... not sure
Archmage Atlantis: I fear, we have only given the dream
Eden Haiku: Oh, what was your great grandmother saying again? Rise and shine?
Agatha Macbeth: Your cake seems to have become unanimated Liz
adoro Rhapsody: lets make our dreams come true
Archmage Atlantis: That it can be real, that we have not given
Calvino Rabeni: ... consume less, savour more ....
Eliza Madrigal: well first we offer a dream, then offer up the dream...
Archmage Atlantis: And that it will not be peaceful......we have given even less of that
adoro Rhapsody: than its tiurn out to be aa nightmare
Eden Haiku: Yes, offering up our dreams is important too :)
adoro Rhapsody: letting go
adoro Rhapsody: on the wings of archmage
Eliza Madrigal: Appreciation ... dreams into awareness
Calvino Rabeni: when opened, the grasping hand turns into ... ?
adoro Rhapsody: tenderness and softy dreams
Eliza Madrigal: ah, rest
morgano Bravin: maybe we are a result of our combined thoughts
Agatha Macbeth: The Dreamtime?
adoro Rhapsody: co creating dreams
Agatha Macbeth plays her dijeridoo
Calvino Rabeni: yes, that time is now
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, the Austro peoples
Zon Quar: waves..
Archmage Atlantis: The first to walk in the dream time
Agatha Macbeth: 'Can you guess what it is yet?'
Eden Haiku: waves to Zon

Agatha Macbeth nods

Agatha Macbeth smiles
morgano Bravin: the tat will always say the same,,will it mean the same to you?

Archmage Atlantis: Fair question morgano
Archmage Atlantis: Perhaps, perhaps not
adoro Rhapsody: when u get older it maybe fet another meaning for u
adoro Rhapsody: get
morgano Bravin: perhaps what u have lost is what you were given, but what the tat says is what u give
Archmage Atlantis: perhaps
morgano Bravin: which is important
adoro Rhapsody: or what u see is not what u get
Archmage Atlantis: I try to live a moral life.......I fail many times
Eden Haiku: Will go for a walk now the sun came up after the rain, bye everyone. Enjoy your week of vacation Agathita :))

Qt Core: By Eden
Agatha Macbeth: See you edie, take care
morgano Bravin: bye eden,,u dont have a lil haiku for us?
Archmage Atlantis: Because what is moral, is not an easy question

--BELL--(1415)

adoro Rhapsody: sure
morgano Bravin: I think that even if we had the right answer it wouldnt have much value unless you had to work it out
adoro Rhapsody: bravo !
Calvino Rabeni: yes good insight!
Agatha Macbeth: Bravo Bravin :)
adoro Rhapsody: brave heart
adoro Rhapsody: maass

Qt Core: bye Ara
Calvino Rabeni: bye Ara :)
arabella Ella: i will go and be mad elsewhere for a short while :)
Agatha Macbeth: Bye for now dears, do be careful out there
adoro Rhapsody: namaste

At this point Yours Truly poofed, but the conversation continued awhile

--BELL--(1430)

adoro Rhapsody: is there something we could share ?
adoro Rhapsody: or just silence to share ?
adoro Rhapsody: could
Calvino Rabeni: I was wondering what "self service" means in your ideas, Adoro?
adoro Rhapsody: ok that u make your own interpretation or meaning of something
Calvino Rabeni: oh, ok
Calvino Rabeni: I see
adoro Rhapsody: in cloud computing we see more aas services
adoro Rhapsody: saas = software as a service
adoro Rhapsody: or security as a service
Calvino Rabeni: what is the relationship between cloud computing and the meaning of a personal thing such as a tatoo?
adoro Rhapsody: and we see also more self service concepts nowdays
adoro Rhapsody: ok no realition yet
adoro Rhapsody: no relation yet
adoro Rhapsody: pure associating
adoro Rhapsody: i like that
Calvino Rabeni: ah ok
adoro Rhapsody: sometimes it brings creative solutions
Calvino Rabeni: when traditional services are broken up, then it forces people to be creative
adoro Rhapsody: but Qt can tell us more about creative design in Milano
adoro Rhapsody: thats the good of a crisis
adoro Rhapsody: but dont think i am in crisis now
Qt Core: Me and creative design are quite estranged from each other
adoro Rhapsody: but its core business in milano i thought
Qt Core: maybe creative, but design ...
adoro Rhapsody: ok
adoro Rhapsody: not all milanese are designers
Calvino Rabeni: when corporations no longer provide security and commoditize labour, then it becomes fashionable for who were "workers" before, to become "entrepreneurs"
Qt Core: yes, but not mine ;-) most if not all fashion stores/brand would go bankrupt if more people would be like me
adoro Rhapsody: ok
Qt Core: more than fashionable the only choiche
Calvino Rabeni: That sounds like an idea of Lao Tzu
adoro Rhapsody: thats good for crisis
adoro Rhapsody: lao tze is a new brand of rituals cosmetics
adoro Rhapsody: see www.rituals.com
adoro Rhapsody: the tao product line
adoro Rhapsody: its a kind of food balm
Calvino Rabeni: that's creepy
adoro Rhapsody: sorry for this comercial break
adoro Rhapsody: sure
Qt Core: many people are dumped and then "rehired" as professionist, so almost no social costs for the hirer
adoro Rhapsody: sure
adoro Rhapsody: thats is misuse
Calvino Rabeni: yes
adoro Rhapsody: mediaval times come back
adoro Rhapsody: medieaval
Qt Core: and those very little professionists starts having to say bye bye to vacation and ill time, loans and such
adoro Rhapsody: sure
adoro Rhapsody: thats crisis
adoro Rhapsody: we see the same in health jobs
adoro Rhapsody: office helps u with solicitating course or tips to be an entrepreneur
adoro Rhapsody: but they like to see u go

--BELL--(1445)

Qt Core: i find sad how those little entrepreneurs are called here, "partite iva", losely translated as "vat codes"
adoro Rhapsody: it looks like it will be an ever lasting hard world
adoro Rhapsody: denigration is part of the game
Calvino Rabeni: I was for a long time in favor of the idea of "life long learning" - then at some point, I read that some people consider it a strategy of corporations to turn knowledge workers intonto commodities, just like they did for factory workers many years ago
Qt Core: but this isn't a new name, it has many years
adoro Rhapsody: yes reuse it
adoro Rhapsody: its of all times
adoro Rhapsody: we lived in a social utopia some decades
adoro Rhapsody: now its hard to be back again some ages ago
Qt Core: i've read some articles that were saying that the golden generation was the one born just after WW2
adoro Rhapsody: the baby boomers
adoro Rhapsody: its the reaction on crisis
Calvino Rabeni: I don't think so - I think it was the ones born during the 30's
Calvino Rabeni: because they hit peak earning potential in the 50's
Qt Core: that enjoyed the economic boom when young, got "rich" in theyr 30/50 and will enjoy the social services in their old age
Calvino Rabeni: the boomers were a bit too late for that
adoro Rhapsody: ok
adoro Rhapsody: sharp analyse
adoro Rhapsody: cal
adoro Rhapsody: u could be right
Calvino Rabeni: the golden age bubble was the post-ww2 era, and whoever was 25 - 40 probably was the best timing
Calvino Rabeni: many boomers are less secure financially than their parents
Calvino Rabeni: and were less well fortified by the "work ethic"
Calvino Rabeni: which was somewhat dismantled by the counterculture of the 1960's
adoro Rhapsody: they couldaffort it , it was a luxury problrm
Qt Core: nowadays there are really a few of them, but people old enough to have endired both world war were used to say that young people needed to experience (even if not as soldiers) a war to understand life
adoro Rhapsody: my grandfather said that too
Calvino Rabeni: I think they meant an old-fashioned war, not a modern war
adoro Rhapsody: when we didnot eat our potatoos
adoro Rhapsody: ofcourse
Calvino Rabeni: the modern wars are managed, so that there is not a strong sacrifice or inconvenience for the population
Qt Core: if you are not the target of a smart bomb, that is
adoro Rhapsody: but the pictures are all over the world
Calvino Rabeni: pictures are easily turned away from
adoro Rhapsody: so the mental impact is much bigger
adoro Rhapsody: ok u r right
Calvino Rabeni: poverty, job disruptions, need to cooperate for survival, many dead friends and relatives, sacrifice ... that is not easily forgotten
Calvino Rabeni: media doesn't do much to help people understand war
adoro Rhapsody: sure
Qt Core: why should they ? :-(
adoro Rhapsody: ok
adoro Rhapsody: there seems to be no need for them
adoro Rhapsody: so it goes on and on
Calvino Rabeni: no need for what?
Calvino Rabeni: wars?
adoro Rhapsody: need to stop pictures about wars
Calvino Rabeni: ah
adoro Rhapsody: its just an industry
Calvino Rabeni: plus a social welfare program
adoro Rhapsody: abolute right

--BELL--(1500)

adoro Rhapsody: war disguised as social welfare ?
adoro Rhapsody: a wolf like a lamb ?
adoro Rhapsody: sorry no politics here
Calvino Rabeni: no disguise, the war shows as the main face of it
adoro Rhapsody: well its late here
adoro Rhapsody: midnight hour
adoro Rhapsody: so something lihgt or a joke before i go to bed ?
Calvino Rabeni: nice idea, hmmm
adoro Rhapsody: orinoko ?
Calvino Rabeni: does your country have a food calendar?
adoro Rhapsody: yes
Calvino Rabeni: so does this one - each day has a special food
