Chatroom Meditation: Discussion Thread

[Jade]

I saw your message Nick - it posted right as I logged in, though you never showed up in the online list. I hope you are feeling better. My day yesterday ended with a headache so... I hope you feel better (I do! Had to take an excedrin this morning though)

But, in response to "intensity", I thought about your reply here plenum in this thread this morning and considered how I didn't leave the house yesterday, though I usually have been seeing hawks on Saturdays after our meditations when I venture out. But this morning we left to go to the grocery store, and barely a stone's throw from my front door was a large, beautiful Cooper's hawk positioned on a treetop. We pulled over and watched it, statuesque, and then it swooped down across the road in front of our car to go land on another telephone pole 50 feet away. It was awesome and one of the closer encounters I've ever had with a raptor!! - save for a few times when the juvenile bald eagles would come by my old place. Sometimes they were so close I felt they were literally chasing my car down.

After we pulled out onto the highway, another hawk flew (much higher) over our car. So two before I barely hit the road! They must have been just waiting for those 26 hours between the meditation and when we finally ventured out...
