Time is 2012! 20.12 that was, finishing your post Rahkyt! And now when correcting it was 20.22. (But changed to 20.23 as i went to correct once more) Had to correct once again, to change places with the h and k in your name...had to remove an h in the end also....

Funny thing, i joined Avalon on the national holiday of Sweden June 6, typical Gemini country..

LOL the coincidences/synchronicities abound in such an amazing manner these days. Their meaning seems to correspond to whatever we need in that particular moment, which seems to be the entire lesson/meaning, the subjective attention given to each and every one of us in our connection to something beyond ourselves that, even while being so vast and all-encompassing, has time enough to pay attention to our own seemingly petty journeys through life ... I just can't get over it ... in all the best ways! If you are looking for it, they seem to always be present! Thank you for sharing that one ...

You're welcome! You know i almost have to stop myself from noticing and telling about my syncronicities, i never get "used" to them although they flood my entire life. MUST go to bed now, Early Morning T-rain! Oh that song reminds me of my youth...

For me, they become a source of abiding joy, once they occur and I recognize their meaning to whatever extent. LOL I suppose the depth of the synchronicities corresponds to our ability to discern them, as well as our greater understanding. We 'get' what we 'can' ... if we were more knowledgeable, or better connected to our Lower and Higher selves, perhaps we would get more out of them than we do ... good night to you then, I wish you dreams full of energetic coalescence and ultra-dimensional processing!

Oh, transiten, do tell us about *all* your synchronicities!

*Please*

You have an appreciative audience, here and now.

I had a great synchronicity the other day. I was working in the garden and found among my cayenne peppers one of the enormous grasshoppers that emerge here each summer (see picture). As I left the garden and walked up the steps to the house to enter the kitchen, I was thinking to myself what it would be like to eat such a huge insect. I imagined the juxtaposition of the hard exoskeleton textured against the gooey insides of the thorax and abdomen. I was wondering if I would cook it or eat it raw. As I entered the kitchen thinking of eating this insect, I flipped the radio on and the station was on NPR and the show was "Splendid Table" with Lynne Rossetto Kaspar. The first sentence I heard her speak was (paraphrase): "Around the world, there are more and more people accessing a food source that has not been eaten or even viewed as a food source before. More and more people are preparing and eating insects in different ways......."

I thought to myself: "Rock on, Life! What a splendid synchronicity!"

Let me know how it tastes!

Ohh my friends!!! Since ancient time grasshoppers eaten by my ancestors in Mexico... in Oaxaca to be precise.. I have to say: delicious with it savory lime flavor, salty and crunchy. But no more for me in some years now: Cannot take the picture of this hunted beings in big beautiful baskets. Every day I´m getting more and more incapable to eat so many helpfull beings. Something is going with me... Maybe an "excess" of serious meditation is making me more aware of life...

[REILLY]

We had crickets around for a while that were flavored like potato chips. I remember I liked the sour cream and onion flavor the best. The bacon cheddar flavor was kind of nasty. They reminded me most of corn chips.

@playdo I would totally roast those babies on the grill and have them with sriracha (delicious hot chili sauce).

I have become more acutely aware of what I am eating in just the past two weeks. I feel more alive. I bless the food and its source. There's an interesting thread about that floating around Avalon's intraweb somewhere.

Natürlich schmecken sie ganz lecker! Honestly, the only way I'd eat that thing is if there weren't a scrap of nuthin' else to eat, roasted over a fire with sriracha or fresh cayenne (substitute your favorite pepper) and drenched in lime juice. Maybe a little cumin............. That sounds pretty good, actually.

My adventuresomeness extended to chocolate coated ants once as a child. They were introduced here in Oz way back when; mid to late sixties perhaps. They "hit" the scene around Christmas time, back in the days when exotic foods were only available at that time of year.

I tried one.

They have not been available here since.

That my friend, is the extent of my adventuresomeness. I am the son of a butcher's daughter, and hence get my protein fix from more traditional sources.

Playdo, The best part would be the look on your wife's face. Of course, mine would not be very keen to this idea, either. IIRC, she never even tried the crickets.

Tony, don't you love how my buddy Playdo, here, was able to take us straight from synchronicity to eating bugs?

The ladies left us unattended, and I would say we've been relatively well behaved. I can't wait to see junebug's comment of this most recent turn of topic. Thanks, Playdo.

Well, whilst Playdo has certainly provided us with an excellent example of synchronicity, the subject does not exactly break new ground here, whilst eating grasshoppers on the other hand, that is something worth getting our teeth into (in my case, albeit metaphorically).

Junebug as we are all aware is a marvellous cook, and I am quite confident that she would have no trouble at all in managing to incorporate insect into one of her dishes. Tell you what I'll do; I'll put a couple of pictures here for her; you know, to give her a bit of inspiration.





There we go, two birds with one stone! That'll give her some inspiriation, and also make amends for the fight the other day after science class.

Speaking of birds, it's awfully quiet here without them And they reckon we men are the war makers! How about a beer mate...is there a game on?

Oops! Sorry Starsha, you snuck in while I had my back turned!

Now Liliane's here as well!

Oh my god, what have I done?

Heyoka and All!

"Speaking of birds, it's awfully quiet here with them And they reckon we men are the war makers! How about a beer mate...is there a game on?"

Well did you notice you posted that before me

Talking about synchronicities!

I'm off to Stockholm now

9.17 a.m Here and Now...just got back from the school which is just opposite my house, so I get to listen to the little ones at playtime, which is so beautiful. Is there any sound more joyful and uplifting than children at play?

Its damp and misty outside, kinda eery but I like it. Am now sitting on my bed drinking a cup of Welsh Brew tea made locally with Yoshi my cat purring gently next to me. Am wondering if anyone in the village has noticed Lisa subtly changing the subject from crunchy bug eating! eeewww. Thankyou Starsha for popping in Il have blueberries too please!!!
