The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

Eos Amaterasu: Nice fresh pavilion

Bleu Oleander: 's current display-name is "Bleu".
Bleu Oleander: hi Eos :)
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Bleu!
Bleu Oleander: enjoying the new pavilion?
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, it has a light feeling, fresh
Bleu Oleander: yes
Eos Amaterasu: In a way it could work well as something transportable to urban areas
Bleu Oleander: urban areas?
Eos Amaterasu: thinking of RL... how to create little spaces, which Adams once alluded to, right in the city, that have this PaB quality
Bleu Oleander: ah ok ... yes this would work nicely

Eos Amaterasu: There's a sign on the church across the street from me: "All that exists rejoices in its existence" = Meister Eckhart

Eos Amaterasu: and today is Bloomsday
Eos Amaterasu: re-Joyce :-)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: forgot it was Bloomsday!
Bleu Oleander: read that book last year for the first time
Eos Amaterasu: !
Bleu Oleander: quite a project!
Eos Amaterasu: indeed!
Eos Amaterasu: highly vocal text
Bleu Oleander: but felt almost compelled to ... its one so many best lists
Bleu Oleander: I love Joyce's "the Dead"
Eos Amaterasu: Hmm, should give that a read
Bleu Oleander: there's a very interesting film version on youtube
Bleu Oleander: quite good
Eos Amaterasu: thanks for the tip
Bleu Oleander: the last scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6FGIaWaQxA

Eos Amaterasu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVJc9fzqAcI the full movie?
Bleu Oleander: full movie is up there too somewhere
Bleu Oleander: Huston's version
Bleu Oleander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkBn2EGgp4E
Bleu Oleander: that looks like the full movie
Eos Amaterasu: That one's "not available in your country"
Eos Amaterasu: but previous link is the full movie and available in Canada
Bleu Oleander: ah ok good
Eos Amaterasu: strange to think of country zones on the web
Bleu Oleander: yes
Eos Amaterasu: it is supposed to be "world wide" :-)
Bleu Oleander: right :)

Eos Amaterasu: language is our most amazing tool
Bleu Oleander: indeed
Eos Amaterasu: instantly vanishing vocal temporal sculptures
Eos Amaterasu: yet get repeated and passed on
Eos Amaterasu: themselves passing on entire and detailed worlds
Bleu Oleander: amazing to think about in that way
Eos Amaterasu: I think the Balinese "Monkey Chant" helps feel it that way
Eos Amaterasu: Chogyam Trungpa called the monkey chant "the sound of naked sangha"
Bleu Oleander: not familiar with that
Eos Amaterasu: originally heard it on a Nonesuch record, "Music from the morning of the world"
Eos Amaterasu: Javanese and balinese gamelan and monkey chant
Eos Amaterasu: lots on YouTube, will have to find a good one
Eos Amaterasu: Stories from the Ramayana about the monkey king
Eos Amaterasu: usually done as shadow puppet plays
Bleu Oleander: nice
Eos Amaterasu: "watch the shadows, not the puppets" (line from movie)
Eos Amaterasu: ("The Year of Living Dangerously")
Bleu Oleander: oh yes I remember that movie

--BELL--

Bleu Oleander: just now watching Balinese "Monkey Chant" ... visuals are amazing
Eos Amaterasu: yeah

Eos Amaterasu: I sometimes listen to crowds of people that way - like listening to people without knowing their language, just the sounds
Bleu Oleander: yes interesting to do that :)
Eos Amaterasu: but I guess we do that - like listening to opera without knowing the words
Eos Amaterasu: but something comes through
Bleu Oleander: yes exactly
Bleu Oleander: actually many times when visiting a place where you don't know the language
Bleu Oleander: so much comes through
Eos Amaterasu: our natural "ax" - speaking is more impressive than playing the piano :-)
Eos Amaterasu: But then there's Opus 111 by Beethoven :-)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eos Amaterasu: so many ways of rejoycing :-)
Bleu Oleander: and so little time :)
Eos Amaterasu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_PBRpS_7kY (Opus 111, Rudolf Serkin)
