Here and Now...What's Happening?
This is an excercise thread. Members can post as often as they like, as long as they describe their physical reality.
What you see, hear or smell.
Whatever is going on.
Here it is 5:55 am as I write this. I'm in bed, on my back, tapping these letters on my ipad screen. Ipad on my belly. Temperature just right, not too hot not too cold.
Husband on my left, snoring, big fat cat is lying on his chest getting ready to be fed in a few minutes.
Curtains still drawn. River noise...now a motor bike. Husband waking up.
Update: the above was written in September of 2011, and anyone can see that things have changed in the thread.
So here is the introduction to what is happening NOW, since we are in 2012 things have shifted a bit.
Here is something for our newcomers:
(apart from the formal "welcome to the thread")
First there was UFO sightings, crop circles, missing memories, mutilated cattle, weird secretive government behavior, wars, famines, corruption....
Then came the Internet.
Text, then graphics, then photos, then you tubes, all along forums where sh!t was being discussed and argued about.
The art of the anonymous insult was developed.
Then came Project Avalon, and Bill Ryan's standards in civility made it to the Internet
with a 95% balanced moderator team.
And still, people were arguing about other people's speculations.
A need for reporting reality (never mind how mundane) arose and I was prompted to start this thread.
To begin with the early posters shared those (never mind how mundane) moments of their lives...
which resulted in the discovery that we all had more in common than expected.
and somehow an intimacy developed.
Intimacy means comfort, and comfort means warmth, and warmth means energy.
As this energy was being exchanged it grew and grew and people started to feel their own energy levels going up.
And this, my dear newcomers, is the point of this thread!
You are all welcome to help yourselves here.
Anything you wish to share is accepted, without judgment...
We are a loving bunch.
Please feel FREE and COZY in the Village.
As they say in Costa Rica: Mi Casa es Tu Casa (which means in English 'my house is your house')
Or "Our Village is Your Village".
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
More traffic noises. Tv is on, Costa Rica national antheum. Two cats are talking in the kitchen, husband making coffee... Gurgling noises from coffee maker. Fridge door. Yawns. Ulli hunger feelings. Oh look. Curtains are open. Sunlight on mountain tops and distant clouds. BLUE skies.. Cat jumps on bed, licking itself after breakfast.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
8 am , news on the tv, of my 4 dogs (labs) 2 are outside , one on the couch and one on the floor by my foot, small light on in the living room , laptop on the ottoman and me sitting in the chair in the living room. battling minor cold, minor back pain in the lower,and am contemplating going back to bed for an hour before I head into work, my air cleaner is running in the living room,fish tank running, and a big pile of laundry is next to me in the other chair that needs folding .dishes in the sink behind me that need washing. Eyes are heavy and joints tight for now.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Ulli still in bed. Husband making more coffee noises, coffee in cup is being stirred...spoon noises. Ulli is aware of lower back pain, thinking of Pyrangello and sending healing energy to both backs. Thinking of stretching.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
7:20 AM, sitting on sofa with laptop in my lap, living room overhead fan on but should be turned off as it's a bit cool now Weak sun made its way around to shine in window. Happy I'm off work today; concerned I'm taking mom to the dr for heart problems. Fridge noise. Otherwise lovely silence.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
...fed horses, sheep...gonna get an apple fritter and some cereal...contemplating work on barn next door and next steps of finishing teepee on hill...feeling grateful and full of thoughts of 'higher communication' in these morning moments for some good reason...love, love, love to these moments...change is my now theme...
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
been up a few hours, since six am
posting and reading and listening to vids
lazy today, a bit sore from yoga yesterday
decided not to do any today
off to work in a bit
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Ulli still in bed 6:43 am, kitten brought toys on strings, dragged it up so I will play. Sun lighting up landscape of green mountains now. Clonking in kitchen, voices on TV, Spanish staccato news readers, can't understand a word as they speak too fast. Kitten licking her legs by my feet. Feeling appreciation for my Avalon friends.
Here comes a bowl of fresh pawpaw chunks with lime juice and honey. Breakfast in bed.
Heaven.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
decided my resistance to doing my yoga is the very reason I should do yoga today
starting my routine....
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
End of classical wakup on clockradio. Sound of keyboard tapping intersperses with soft razor buzz from husband shaving upstairs. Teen waiting for online English class, yawns. First chill of autumn reaching us still wearing shorts. Coffee beckons.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Back in bed after a two minute salute to the sun. (thanks Ernie)
Loud bird song outside now.
Thinking of recording it one of these days and uploading it to my profile page.
River noise seems to have quietened down, but I realize that is because the other noises have become stronger, cars in the distance, fridge, shower.
Feeling less of the chill now probably because of my 2 minute yoga session.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Aw, its literally like being with you guys reading your posts! Cool, shall join...
11:10 pm, in pjs, lamp's on, feet atop of desk typing groggily on...That and the little rumbles of my ancient computer are the only noise. About to switch off, going to bed, keep getting distracted by the random flashes of light - oh its 11:11 now. Yaaaaawn.
Goodnight people...!
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Hi I'm in gymea a suburb of Sydney it's 11.10pm I'm lying on my bed it's warm and smells like summer being born the full moon is glowing thru my net curtains bathing my room in a white fuzzy glow I hear the sounds of distant traffic I can never sleep when the moon does this I feel restless and full of thought
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
It is 8:20am Chicago Time. The windows are open and the breeze is cool. I am enjoying the silence of no tv's no radio and my sons are all at school (no noise) I hear the birds and an occasional airplane from O'Hare Airport. Sipping my coffee and reading Avalon!
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
All I hear now is the river and one noisy cricket. Bird song. No more traffic.
Both cats are fast asleep. Planning my day, construction guy coming next week to fix whatever needs fixing....gotta make a list.
Feeling the effects of this excercise already as it raised my awareness. Also feel powerful connectedness and gratitude not only for those who posted in the last hours, what...less than two hours?
but also for those who visited just to read. We are all connected.
While thinking of far away times and places we can forget this, but when we connect to the here and now we REALIZE our connectedness, it becomes a feeling....not just an idea.
And it must be remembered that the magic and power of our divinity only comes into play when _ emotional _ intent is practised.

Damn ulli, I could use the work, why do you have to live so far away?
Cheers,

Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Fred, This guy still owes me $500 which I lent him nearly 2 years ago. I thought I would never see the money again, but he called yesterday and said he felt bad for not paying me back and could he work off his debt.
Knowing me he will probably get a month of work and make more than he owes me.
Fred, to be honest, compared to US standards my house is a shack. I won't let an American see it unless it's at night, when you can't see the flaws...kind of like a disco in the daytime, minus the chewing gum on the floor, of course.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
glad I did yoga
had a block in lumbar region
loud crack, and it was gone - just like that
feel way better
Late for work, but I work for myself today so so what.
Setting up meeting with Avalonian tomorrow, 42.
I'm excited to meet him.
Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
It's 8:23 am in Costa Rica and I just got back from posting on Charlie Pecos thread, which left me feeling all mighty.
So many empowering threads are springing up all over Avalon.
I think when Bill Ryan zapped that Elenin comet it made a few sparks.

Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
In my living room/den now. The fridge noise from the kitchen is competing with the river noise.
Here is my view:

and here is the river:
