Here and Now...What's Happening?

Thought maybe we could have a little chill-out area (every good party needs one.)

Too many candles? Mmm... Not sure. Just saw the party food and got a bit excited

There’s minty refreshments and raw chocolate mini-cakes for everyone.

Thank you to Ulli, and to all who keep the Avalonian threads flowing with wonderments.





Peace, freedom and a breeze of healing to all in the Here and Now

Melinda, would you consider coming back here as decorator-in-chief for the next milestone party?
That ambiance you created was just beautiful.

I didn't see any guacamole among the food spread. I guess I'll bring some. Do you think a 55 gallon barrel will be enough?

Congratulations Ulli!...and all the great contributors to this epic thread.

I think what separates Avalon from most alt forums is the sense of community here. Its very unique. This thread is a major reason for that.

Congratulations to Ulli, and all the villagers.

For me, this place has always been the beating heart of Avalon.



Lots of love to you all.

Thanks everyone for dropping by.
Today was a good day.
Ate our first avocado from our own tree. Also first 3D astro client in years, who made it to our house here in the country.
Relaxing now, with wine, cheese, crackers, olives, and
Morcheeba music.

Ulli... thank you! It would be my honour.

The chill-out zone is where my sensibilities tend to shimmy toward.
But for the celebratory festival as a whole we can open up a box for all to contribute. Mmm... Yes let's...

Should you feel inclined, send your contributions in >

Wow, love it, especially that PO.Box number.

Many belated congratulations to Ulli and all contributors to the Hear and Now thread for attracting so many readers. For personal reasons, I have not been around so much of late, particularly earlier in the year. I was surprised to find the forum popularity curve at alexa.com shows a dip when I am not around so much



This of course is not to suggest in any way that one individual contribution is holding the thing together, which would be totally silly; it does suggest however that many individual contributions are being made and received with that intention, and that overall it is working.

Congratulations Ulli, I hope we get to see 5,000,000 very soon.

It also means that many individuals are simultaneously being moved or inspired to participate (or not) in the forum. Sort of like a flock.
I was also less active during the earlier part of the year, as an extremely dry season here meant I spent a lot more time in the garden, keeping my wilting plants alive. Others may have had reasons of their own.

I think what separates Avalon from most alt forums is the sense of community here. Its very unique. This thread is a major reason for that.

We're a daisy if we do........

(very inside jokeish)

note: couldnt find an isolated "daisy" quote. darn. really wanted that one.

Hey, how about this for a tombstone?

Because using it as a cake might make one wonder what's inside.

Drifting down the village road towards the sound of partying... I stop to give a gentle whirl to RunningDeer's tai chi vortex, peer inside the healing pool Dennis created, dodging splashes, looking up at the cliffs where the village shamans reside, lights in their windows, catching drifts of conversation at the bay sea wall. Music bursts forth from the party, kids and cats running down the road, Lady K laughing at the antics, Ulli directing the Avalon roadies carrying the daisy cake to the hall, lol.

Thank you Ulli and all.

Good morning. Lets start the week with an appropriate chuckle.

A Buddhist monk approaches a burger food-truck and says “make me one with everything.”

The Buddhist monk pays with a $20 bill, which the vendor takes, puts in his cash box, and closes the lid.

“Where’s my change?” the monk asks.

The vendor replies, “change comes from within.

The ‘NRJ in the Park’ (NRJ in French sounds like energy) festival near Angers drew over 43,000 spectators for a free concert on Friday, and since the whole country was soccer-crazy until last night, it featured a sequence of Icelandic clapping recorded in a video here.

The interesting thing about this event is that, despite the fact that the country is still officially in a state of emergency, or actually because the country is still officially in a state of emergency, it was covered by zero police: not a single one. And the really interesting thing is that the whole event seems to have passed off without incident: I am sure we would have heard about it if anything had happened.
http://www.ouest-france.fr/pays-de-l...iciers-4361836
The organizers complained of course, to be told that there are major events that pose a terrorist threat and other ‘family’ gatherings like this one that don’t. But how do the police know they can take a night off or turn up en masse somewhere else? Those terrorists must be pretty dumb if they can’t even show up where they’re not expected. And/or they must be losing their knack, because the Euros, one of those major events that allegedly do pose a terrorist threat, also passed off without incident, and so has another, the Tour de France, at least so far.

Meanwhile, France lost the football match and the cup, but may be winning the battle of war and peace. It is getting very hard to find an answer to conspiracy theorists who claim that terrorist attacks are turned on and off at will.

N.B. If you’ve been short-changing Buddhist monks, that counts as stealing and lying. Here change comes from without. Don’t forget the money box on the way out.
