Ah ha! So the laughter in LaughingGull is sinister...very good (-:
Maybe we should call it mini lurkerdom...
In thanks, 2 Vedic bits I love about Brahman:"Far in the distance I see the
owner of the house reverberating." Which I take to mean that the person I think
is the least like me, is actually an expression of my Self. Stops one in one's
tracks...if one is lucky!
"Braham says: my indestructible maya." Or as Tom Traynor may have said, it's
all just the Divine playing peekaboo, pretending not to see itself. Just for
the play of it.
Wishing fathers and everyone a very playful day.

Share, you caught me completely by surprise with a response...it's good to
hear from you! It was not my intention to draw you out of "lurkerdom"...I also
enjoy lurking in the shadows...sinister laugh...and really don't understand my
fascination with this place unless it's just to see what nuggets I can glean
from the posts...you've just offered up a few. Anyway, it's good to see "old
friends" returning to the place and I'm enjoying their posts. There's a
satisfaction...dare I say comfort...in knowing that we're not going to change
who we are, yet it doesn't matter, because it shouldn't prevent us from perhaps
finding some value in what each other has to say...we are always in control of
how what we read influences us, and can turn the "reaction/response" switch on
and off.

dear laughingG, thank you, not the least of which, for putting me with such
interesting, dare I say riveting, posters, the 3 Rs (-:
To my amazement, I have become a lurker, and a happy one at that. Same on the
Peak. And the recent FFL developments fascinate me. Most everything about
online communication fascinates me. Are all those very different voices really
inside my own awareness? I think so. Astonishment!
If we're not at peace with a certain voice that seems to be outside us, it does
no good to censor it. It will merely show up in our lives somewhere else.
Better to make peace with it, with all the parts of our self.

As I read through most posts, I often find something to appreciate in what
every author has written...Judy, TB, Xeno, CDB, Doug/Buck, Ann, Jim, Steve,
Nabby, MJ, and even folks that no longer (or can no longer) post here including
Share, Robin, Ravi, and even Richard (I guess these are the three 'Rs'). As I
read, I think that I can "sense" the author's intent in what they are
writing...sometimes it's malicious or purposely not playing fair in which case
I chose not to respond although I feel "bad" for the writer, sometimes I have
the "aha" moment and think the author is brilliant to which I sometimes respond
with a pat on the back or choose to contribute to the discussion for as long as
it holds my interest, sometimes I laugh out loud because the humor is subtle
and I "got" the joke (Richard contributed that type of humor), etc. etc...you
get the idea. <snip> #yiv5029269148 #yiv5029269148 -- #yiv5029269148ygrp-mkp
