Eos Amaterasu cups a little spark in his hand
Eliza Madrigal smiles thankfully
Eos Amaterasu: searchlight casting.... (re how doing....)
Eliza Madrigal: mmm
Eos Amaterasu: bubble of life inquiring into itself

Eos Amaterasu: (I found the titles of the talks at the Origins of Life conf that Pema's attending very exciting)
Eliza Madrigal: I've not had a chance to look yet, what jumped out for you?
Eos Amaterasu: limits of life, hydrothermal vents and life, RNA evolution and my grandfather's axe, etc
Eliza Madrigal: oh, much jumping, sparking, bubbling
Eliza Madrigal: ty
Eos Amaterasu: RNA synthesis inside protocell vesicles
Eos Amaterasu: Biology and the chemistry of the possible
Eliza Madrigal: "active RNA droplets"
Eos Amaterasu: :-)

Eliza Madrigal: so much happening in our world
Eliza Madrigal: discoveries, uncoveries
Eliza Madrigal: connections between things that never seemed to have connection before
Eliza Madrigal: "interesting times"
Eos Amaterasu: hmm
Eos Amaterasu: connection to layers here?
Eliza Madrigal: I think so

Eliza Madrigal: amazed by the wisdom of time
Eos Amaterasu: say more?
Eliza Madrigal: hm... what angle to approach from....
Eliza Madrigal: on a PaB community level of things, it is really interesting the project druth is inspired to work on...
Eliza Madrigal: looking at the whole group... archives and active sessions both, stories from memories, inclusiveness of people here and not here
Eliza Madrigal: discovering the 'whole' in a fresh way
Eos Amaterasu: mining, or better still cultivating, years of resources
Eos Amaterasu: how will that be expressed?
Eliza Madrigal: yes... layers unfolding
Eliza Madrigal: I walked there today and clicked on little items that will be pointers to various things
Eliza Madrigal: bridges everywhere
Eos Amaterasu: there = ?
Eliza Madrigal: :) figuratively

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: behind Sunshine's village spot - looks like a transparent version of this pavilion
Eos Amaterasu: will check it out
Eos Amaterasu likes "transparent version of this pavilion"
Eos Amaterasu: doubly transparent
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal: feels like a kind of bringing out of a feast for the whole table
Eos Amaterasu: hmm, looking forward to it...
Eos Amaterasu: PaB logged history takes on a forward life of its own
Eliza Madrigal: and unlogged history....
Eos Amaterasu: double hmmm
Eliza Madrigal: druth is asking for people's lesser known stories.. so for instance today I remembered that it was Corvie (who visited last night) who first shared "enoughness"
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: corvus corax the bearer of enoughness
Eliza Madrigal: fulfillment in openness
Eos Amaterasu: should do an egyptian style relief carving
Eliza Madrigal: relief carving?
Eos Amaterasu: indented on a wall, so to speak
Eos Amaterasu: the raven bearing enoughness, sideways view
Eliza Madrigal: ...of a bird with a note in its beak

Eliza Madrigal: Pema's picture.. the guardians of the void... is probably one to share as well
Eos Amaterasu: do u have a link to that?
Eliza Madrigal: might be able to find it
Eliza Madrigal: I think Pema has a picture
Eliza Madrigal: photo of picture
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Eliza Madrigal: and I sent the lines from TSK, where play as being came from
Eliza Madrigal: they are more beautiful than I remembered...
Eliza Madrigal: shall I paste them?
Eos Amaterasu: yes!
Eliza Madrigal:

"Even if we cannot awaken to this universal synthesis immediately, we can begin to recognize and live in accordance with such an integration on a personal level. This expressive play-as-Being is always inspiring because it is an infinitely-varied play. We cannot stagnate while being appreciative of such an unbounded drama. Nor can we continue to preserve an achievement orientation, because we find fulfillment in what we are ourselves, in what is at hand. We are no longer seen as the embodiment of a lower knowing, but are instead the embodiment of Being. As such, we no longer need an anxious outward directedness. There is a subtle fulfillment present and constantly going on. Given Being's endless play, there is no fixed way to 'get' this fulfillment, since it is too 'near' to 'get', and is so ever present that no particular approach is necessary or possible. There is no way for us to walk out of this fulfillment--it is always spontaneously arriving."

Eos Amaterasu: "always spontaneously arriving"

Eos Amaterasu: the raven is always there with enoughness

Eliza Madrigal: that's it :)

Eliza Madrigal: would you like to come with me to see druth's spot before you sign off for bed?
Eos Amaterasu: okay, that would be great
Eliza Madrigal: night pavilion
Eliza Madrigal: one sec and I'll send :)
Eos Amaterasu: thanks, pavilion, 'nite
