wil

Hey wil! The title of your new thread sounds like it'd work well as the name of a low-budget film in a particular genre. Nudge nudge. Wink wink.

Hey quit with the albino pidgeons pooping all over meh page! lol, just kiddin, I'll take good care of da little birdies. Dey r sooo cute. And fascinating. Like synchronized swimmers, except not...

Lolz. *still hypnotized*

Poor birdie, yes, poor...zzzzzz...

That's really awesome. I've only ever been on the bad trips, and I've been on quite a few. The most I've seen is a flipper or a whale just breaching the surface such that it resembled a wave.

I went to P-town once with my family when I was in my late teens and we too went on a whale watch. Unfortunately no whales were sighted. Mostly I'm looking forward to some quiet away from so much technology. I told my girlfriend last night that I hope our room at the B&B doesn't have a television. I'm bringing a couple of books with me. Mysticism and Madness is about Nachman of Breslov and Meditation and Kabbalah is somewhat self-explanatory. Also bringing a few Hebrew language books so I can continue to practice while I'm away. I've been putting in 4-6 hours every weekday studying Hebrew with Rosetta Stone. I've found lately that sometimes my inner monologue switches to Hebrew, although at this point when that happens it's pretty much just describing my surrounding environment and the events that're unfolding around me.

My girlfriend and I are headed to a B&B on The Cape through Monday morning. Then we're heading over to the house my parents are renting there for two weeks and staying with them through Wednesday. I hope you have a good time in NYC and upstate NY. I've never been to NYC but some of upstate NY is beautiful. There are a couple of shuls I really want to check out when I finally do visit NYC.

Please do disrupt! Your thoughts are always welcome. I think what I'm addressing may be slightly different, but it could also be that we're using different vocabulary to say the same thing. Avi is very much a rationalist. From what I know of him, he seems to see religious practice, mysticism and the like as things that ought to be done away with. This is very much a classical Reform view, something that's a bit more rare today. For me it's better to hold onto all of that. What I think you're referring to is the type of person who goes with religious practice and belief but it remains something external. I don't see Avi that way. I think he's just very concerned with the rejection of all non-rational elements of religion in favor of a moral philosophy of religion. It's actually the very reason I suggested that book to him. I thought it'd jive with his views.

Didn't mean to poop on your party. Truth is I am not going to be free to travel for a while, and even next year is probably a no go. Truly I would go, but its just not in the cards until I've got some bread coming in and have a reliable situation. I thought Kansas sounded like a good plan, especially for those that will be driving to a get together.

Hey brutha! Just stopping by to wish you well ...

wil, you're PM tray is officially full. Please chuck some stuff out for further missives!!!

What praytell were ye harvesting?

Gah I figured you'd know it. Was randomness on my part. renewalish/neo-pagany/new ageish chant. "There is so much magnificence in the ocean. Waves are coming in, waves are coming in." Then there's the harmony which is hallelujah repeated over and over again.

Disco is the devil's music! :O

there is so much magnificence in the ocean? Don't know teh songz?

Waves are coming in?
