2015.07.30 - 08.01 SL Retreat

 

Eos Amaterasu: Ok, welcome again, we :-)

Eos Amaterasu: spanning SL and RL and DL (Dream Life) seems to be the thing with PaB practice

Eos Amaterasu: I think retreat is just bracketing our everyday lives with special attention

Eos Amaterasu: so containing these SL sessions, where we can share that, within RL retreat seems good

Eos Amaterasu: I think that's really the basic thing, either prompting or finding a pause in whatever life

Eos Amaterasu: and seeing what happens

Eos Amaterasu: appreciating pause, and also in-between pause

Eos Amaterasu: a few days to segue into this weekend

Eos Amaterasu: and a few days to segue out

Eos Amaterasu: we each do that in unique and different ways

Eos Amaterasu: so we can share and be illuminated by both the differences, how we "sketch edges"

Eos Amaterasu: and recognizing the openness within that, and containing us

Eos Amaterasu: [done]

Eos Amaterasu: thinking of the special quality of retreat, in RL, in SL

Eos Amaterasu: and also thinking of "decide on one point".... one way to decide on something very small, but to find it everywhere

Eos Amaterasu: so in retreat we maybe recognize a little bit more that quality, which might be a micromoment, an instant, or maybe a little more stretched out

Eos Amaterasu: and then to use that to find it in everyday life

Eos Amaterasu: a memory, an echo, of it

Eos Amaterasu: not so much to recreate it re what happened in the past

Eos Amaterasu: but to recognize it more in the present and the future

Eos Amaterasu: a kind of sonar, echolocation

 Eos Amaterasu: a grin of recognition.

Eos Amaterasu: Cheers!
