[MD] an eagle

SA:  We are critics of life.  Does something measure
up to who we are is our valuing process, I guess.

Marsha:
> Form is emptiness.  Yes.  Emptiness is 
> form.

SA:  yes everything is dependent upon everything else,
dependent origination this is how emptiness involves
no strict boundaries, where even our self goes back to
our parents to their parents, etc...

Marsha:
> It felt like there was a mirror facing a
> mirror in my 
> head.  Nothing else to say.  Nothing to say. 
> Nothing.  -  The Heart 
> Sutra is a serious book.

SA:  Yes... this mirror experience is what I was
discussing, but this mirror is not a mirror as being I
stand here and look into a mirror and the mirror
merely shines back me standing here.  This me in the
eagle, this valuing that the eagle explains about me
so well is due to the eagle not just mimicking me, or
mirroring me so well even in deep experience, this me
the eagle is, is me in the eagle, not a mirror
strictly speaking.  Something about this eagle is me
that I find in the eagle, it is found this way, just
as what is not me about the eagle in a certain way is
not me.  It depends on how we are approaching this
experience.

Marsha:
> But after line 6, I lost my

> understood what was

> patterns, I choose these.  If I am fortunate, they
> will choose me.

SA:  You choose the patterns that you lost your
concentration after you read line 6?  Did you get your
concentration back?

Marsha:
> It turns out I wasn't ready to dance yet.  These
> books are warm and gracious.
  
SA:  oh


rain, then no rain, but now rain,
