Room For All

Welcome to Wondercafe2!

A community where we discuss, share, and have some fun together. Join today and become a part of it!

If you go round enough DOS FAX't will settle in as a sudden flash ... peculiar insight about buried things ... unseen angels and demons? Tis Black and White in the finest form and no teaching is as good as teaching others pedantry ... the passing on of a Levantine torch? Tis enlightening when in the human tunnel vision ... so it goes if you are believing the straight and narrow stuff when there isn't room enough for the lighter story on that bloody thin red line that covers all kinds of peculiar behaviour by directors of polity ...

Did the hero David dance rye in the streets? That's spirited!

It is the kind of eclectic swirls that go on in the brain storm ... torid a' dore ation ? Baffles the thinking process ... a real enigma ... unless you can balance emotional intelligence activity!

Tis like a blow to the side of the headman ... in Oz ... that could be a tubular support system ... like those puzzles in Dan Brown novels that brown off people that can't accept creative symbolism ... or icon-ism as a metaphor that one-way people like to practise iconoclast behaviour upon ... like book burning ... bier ignition ... Tome-as flaming kerygma? Hot tongues between the pages suggest the dance of compassion!

Tis a gift of flat out seduction through written word ... some are hard against that trend ... thus isle literacy in the darker vein ... passage through the darkness of heart? When a man hasn't a clue about what's been pulled over him ... love's veil?

The man can feel stoned over something his neighbour's wife did ... like streaking in the market place ... don't look Alice ... we can't have you copying what's going on out there as a norm ... the house man who rules wishes you to be pure ... while he looks over exterior things ... as Exclusion Prin. that can extend his thoughts but not yours!

Can the marketplace be a backyard thingy?

Nancy wishing you well on your next adventures as you retire form teaching.
As for tomorrow sometimes those words that strike close to the heart need to be said by (relative) strangers. It might be just what they need to hear.
There is a hymn -from last red Hymnbook-not this one-that talks about change and has a line "All stagnant traditions ignore"

Great line Tabitha - you made me go looking .. here's what I found - http://www.musiklus.com/anthology/item/355/the-present-tense

Lyrics
Thank you, O God, for the time that is now,
for all the newness your minutes allow;
make us alert with your presence of mind
to fears and longings that move human kind.

Thank you, O God, for the time that is past,
for all the values and thoughts that will last.
May we all stagnant traditions ignore,
leaving behind things that matter no more.

Thank you for hopes of the day that will come,
for all the change that will happen in time;
God, for the future our spirits prepare,
hallow our doubts and redeem us from fear.

Make us afraid of the thoughts that delay,
faithful in all the affairs of today;
keep us, Creator, from playing it safe,
thank you that now is the time of our life!

Does one gain pedantry from the past ... giving us a clue to where we're going ... another stage of awareness from an altenate perspective? Some much ground to cover that some consider baseless ... grass roots thingy!

Thus in the spring tide: "up she comes!" Omega' odd ... a prodigal item ... great icon?
 
Any of the room denizens been to Seattle? We're taking an Alaska cruise in August and plan to spend a few days in Seattle either before or after. We'll be heading to Mt. Rainier for one day (not sure if we'll go ourselves or take a tour) but otherwise I'm still reviewing options. Not planning to visit Vancouver on this trip. Been there before so we'd rather use this trip to see Washington State.

Seattle is busy but worth the visit. Make sure you go to the fish market, it's world famous. If you have the time to dip into Oregon, Mt St Helen's is cool to see.
 
I love Seattle.
Pike's market
The original starbucks store-just so you can say you've been there-It's not the one kitty corner to the market but further down-the mermaid has breasts in the logo
Enjoyed the tour of Underground Seattle-you literally walk under the sidewalk.
I'm into the goldrush and there is a great free museum
REI-flagship store- (MEC was modeled on REI) indoor climbing pinnacle-free-have heard some great talks there by chance ie Jim Whittaker-first american to climb Everest
The Needle-consider booking dinner in the restaurant and skipping line up for tower
The aquarium-right on the ocean
EMP museum-pop culture-near base of needle
and a great tattoo artist my daughter has used. There is also a great outlet mall by the casino.

We also did a trip to Forks washington-as that is where the "Twilight series" is set.

I've been to seattle about 6 times. Each time just for a few days. Once like you on my way to a Alaskan Cruise.
 
oh and if Victoria is your thing-there is the Clipper-a passenger only boat from Seattle to Victoria several times a day.

Actually, our cruise docks in Victoria for an evening. Apparently there's some regulatory thing that forces them to stop in a foreign port and since Vic is on the way from Alaska to Seattle, it got picked.
 
Phew ... got my son & his gf dropped off at the airport just a while ago ... they're on a 'trip of a lifetime' to France for 6 weeks. They've got tix for 6 Euro Cup games, including the semi-final, which they are thrilled about. It's been fun to watch them spend the past year learning about France, researching & planning, growing into the excitement. But it was a stress filled few hours leading up to departure!! We were half an hour later than planned leaving the house; there was an accident that snarled up traffic just south of the airport - so another delay; but they got there, moved quickly through next steps & security & texted me to say they're enjoying a beer and celebrating! I think I'll go pour myself a glass of wine!!

I am aware of needing to manage my own anxieties while they're away, with an elevated threat of terrorism due to the Euro Cup (security will be pretty amazing I think); extensive labour unrest with threats to close down the metro, trains etc; and more recently the flooding of the Seine - which is abating now I think. They are both smart & savvy people, and I pray they will have an amazing and safe journey together.
 
Seattle is great. I haven't been for many years. Last two times was just to see concerts and back again...at this place - a little dive renowned for its music:

It's much like Vancouver and Victoria. The U.S. Version.

Here's a list of the best music venues if you get a chance, Mendalla:

Then I saw this musician, Chris Whitley, play at Showbox in Seattle, and once in Van in the late 90s early 2000s also. He died in 2005 from cancer. RIP. Hard to tell on video but he had the strength of a five piece band on stage by himself...phenomenal guitar player with an eerie but endearing presence. Like a cross between Hendrix and Jeff Buckley. Not everyone's cup of tea but he was mesmerizing to me. His daughter is a great musician in her own right, now. I digress...but Seattle's known for growing, and hosting, great musicians. (And I know this vid was not in Seattle but I was trying to find a good live one).

Dirt floor ... bottom line of the over worked as an underdog? The theme and genre of: "That Lucky Oleson!" A perspective in Nordic trends ... cool but good for collectives ...
