2013.03.23 13:00 - "You are not alone"

The Guardian for this meeting was Bruce Mowbray. The comments and photo are by Bruce Mowbray.

It had been a strange day, full of frustrations and doubt.  When it came time for my session, I sat for 15 minutes - alone - then made a quick dash to the Dome to check out the exhibits - then came back to the Pavilion.  About 25 minutes after the hour, Vorder appeared, and we chatted a while.  This is what we said:

Bruce Mowbray: Hello, Vorder.
Vorder Forder: hello
Vorder Forder: Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: I was just getting ready to leave. . .
Bruce Mowbray: ;-) until you appeared (!)
Vorder Forder: don't let me keep you
Bruce Mowbray: I've been sitting quietly....
Bruce Mowbray: pondering the theme...

Bruce Mowbray: "Appreciating the presence of appearance as a presentation of/by Being"
Vorder Forder: what is more important
Bruce Mowbray: wondering if it could mean anything at all to someone entirely new to PaB.
Vorder Forder: that's a good idea

 --BELL--

Vorder Forder: we have to notice when we are ready to be silent and at that time is make wonders
Bruce Mowbray: Please say more....
Vorder Forder: there is no need to say more
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: Readiness is all.
Vorder Forder: is it ever
Vorder Forder: but I can keep on for hours
Vorder Forder: if you like
Bruce Mowbray: Well, I guess I was ready to be silent, then.
Vorder Forder: you will find it all there.....not my words
Bruce Mowbray: So, has spring come to Iceland yet?
Vorder Forder: but for a simple soul like me I have to talk all the time!
Vorder Forder: wow
Vorder Forder: it's very close
Vorder Forder: the spring
Bruce Mowbray: I live alone, but also find myself talking to myself all the time.
Vorder Forder: I think of it as a light
Vorder Forder: we got all the light we need
Bruce Mowbray: pity the poor person who wanders by -- because I would subject that person to the diatribes otherwise reserved for myself, I'm afraid.
Vorder Forder: ummm
Bruce Mowbray wonders if all-in-all we don't get everything we "need," when everything is considered.
Vorder Forder: ah
Bruce Mowbray: light and everything else...
Vorder Forder: yes of course
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Vorder Forder: it's simple if we look at it
Vorder Forder: if we bring light to it
Bruce Mowbray: Now that's what I would call "Prosperity Consciousness" ---
Vorder Forder: to the spot that is missing
Bruce Mowbray: "I have now, and always will have, everything I need -- and far more than that."
Vorder Forder: I don't know what you call it:)
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Vorder Forder: might be missing
Bruce Mowbray: Nothing is missing.
Vorder Forder: but not if you look for it
Bruce Mowbray: and nothing is in excess.
Vorder Forder: yes right
Vorder Forder: nothing is missing
Vorder Forder: only the things you haven't looked for
Bruce Mowbray: Appreciation . . . . Readiness . . . . Acceptance . . . .
Bruce Mowbray: It's all here.
Vorder Forder: and by the time you look for it you've been there all the time
Bruce Mowbray: Yes!
Vorder Forder: just like youbute
Bruce Mowbray: I'm afraid a lot of my life has been lived through the rear-view mirror, though.
Vorder Forder: you are not alone
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: I will need to be going during the next break -- Please do not be offended by my leaving, Vorder.
Vorder Forder: I am not sure letting things go means to let the mirror go
Vorder Forder: we have to keep it clean
Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm.
Bruce Mowbray: Mirrors are important too, I suppose.
Vorder Forder: like the lens of our camera
Bruce Mowbray: yes.
Vorder Forder: I like the idea
Vorder Forder: the focus of your camera
Bruce Mowbray: Many levels of interpretation there.
Vorder Forder: the cleaning of your lens
Vorder Forder: etc
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Vorder Forder: and to keep
Vorder Forder: asking if you have the right to get the photo shot
Vorder Forder: not my words
Bruce Mowbray: The "right"?
Bruce Mowbray: I don't understand what you mean.
Vorder Forder: only with a different
Vorder Forder: ummm
