I'm sorry, Venus got to them first, the towels are in use.

[quote="rohiniranjan"][quote="tourbi"]I clapped, to say I enjoy you.  And then I was using the one with the phone to show waiting for the ring of the phone.

For me, I have worked a lot with symbols.  The emotes for me are a way of showing the symbolism.  The first e-mail I got was an e-card with animation.  I fell in love with it immediately.  I have a huge collection and now easy ways to share.
I think they can speak for me when words aren't enough or I'm concerned about how that words will be interpreted.  I have seen so many arguments started because the person didn't understand the tone of a message. I feel the emotes can help clarify.  It's like a Spirit Guide, or entity on the other side trying to convey a message, it always helps when I understand their symbolism.  
One of the Master teachers I had on the other side for a while, smiles a great deal.  My visual friend would see him as a smiley face.  I could feel the energy.  I wish I could see them, more than just little.  Lights.  
I wrote too much. [img]http://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/emotions-smileys-free/write22.gif[/img] (that's me, happily lost writing to you)[/quote]


Dear Tourbi,

The path was narrow and embracing a ledge of a mountain where to the left was the granite and to the right was the precipice! Being part of a tour group, the luxury of giving in to one's acrophobia, clinging on to the granite to the left and holding up the traffic was not an option!

I have seen the arguments too, and felt their heat too in my face. Interestingly though, like soap bubbles, they tickle and then pop! When they return as they do, like a hapless moth helplessly drawn to the flame of their discovery -- the bather relaxes as they fulfil their decree and destiny as a soap-bubble must!

Far away from the bath and the bubbles and the water is the electric presence of the electronic reality that pumps in the beautiful and soothing music and I hear in some cases it is the TV (what a decadent being the human being has become!).

Actually, there is nothing wrong with any of this after a hard day of work. As long as we do not forget the soap bubble which shall arise and try to tickle our nose as we laugh at it like we would if a toddler made a face and a menacing gesture at us. A stranger toddler!

Thanks for being there for all of us for what would be heaven without an angel?[/quote]

PART II

Way back in early 90s when I was a member of the new age forum on compuserve, the prototype of what many of the folks take for granted on the Internet cyberreality, Sedona (Arizona) had only been recently discovered and there were postings about Energy vortexes (they were *propaahly* called Vortices back then!) and being younger some of us astro-technical types pooh poohed those! We were not biased since we also did not take seriously the coming of the Messiah as the Maitreya and Benjamin Craem from UK! Well, on that latter count we were not wrong it seems, so far? Right??

Recently, I had a chance to visit Sedona and Grand Canyon. I knew quite a bit about those nidii of energy and the myths and rest surrounding those and I read up a bit more and then some.

Somewhere I read that when visiting an energy spot/energy vortex like Sedona is supposed to be, one is brought face to face with one's fears. Fears and Phobias heighten and intensify.

It came to my acute realization during that trip that I had a problem with unprotected heights! Grand Canyon for instance. The parts of it where there were railings right down to the edge of the precipice, I was okay, as I am when flying in an airplane! But an unprotected drop without a railing! Forget it!!

It was such a damper for me. Here I was having travelled thousands of miles to connect to the Sacred energy of Sedona all of which involved a bit of climbing, gentle for most but impossible for me, I was a bit disappointed.

I took a tour when I arrived there just to get the scope and to set my bearings straight. As we were driving by the Airport vortex, the weakest of them all, I felt this absolutely unmistakeable sensation that I first experienced when I was attuned to Reiki for the first time. The tour-guide said, "Wow, if you felt it so strongly here, then at the other vortices you would feel it really strongly". I felt but not quite as 'personally' as I did at the weakest spot, namely the airport vortex.

Later on, I hiked to the airport vortex and realized the kindness of the mountain! Since I could not climb up to meet and greet it, IT came down to me. Like a gracious parent happy to see his son ...

No problem! I have her hair-dryer in my custody!! It is all in the planning!!

Hmmmmmmm, Looks like her hair is wind dried and the towels are missing.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the energy vortexes.  If we are open the Universe always find a way to meet our needs.  What a wonderful experience you had. I'm glad you were/are open to receiving the gifts/lessons.

this has been such a enlightening, delightful, energetic, loving thread.
thanks, both of you!!
