First Day of Course
Wednesday, April 12 2006
Lunlunta, Argentina
8:39
Woke up at 5:30 w/ a stomach ache. Despaired about it getting better by the sitting. Spent some time in the bathroom to no avail. Not much (and now, no) toilet paper anyway. Last minute decision to attend the sitting. Was OK. Someone had a problem though – a seizure? groaning/growling and shaking. Some nearby folks attended to her. A strange punctuation to the sitting.
Figured out what to do about the guitar. As I lay in bed last night: wind the string the other way around the post. Success! I still have to carry the tuner knob around, and remember that I should turn it the "wrong" way, but much better.
Think I will shower now, if it's free. Hoping I feel better while working on lunch. Also hoping more toilet paper arrives.
16:38
Feeling better. Lunch was good. "Leftover soufflé" w/ a corn/onions side and coleslaw. Inaugural meeting was 3 hours – Lunch team made introductions, then went to do that. Got the summary later from Mary Beth.
AT lesson w/ KT at 15:15. Back sore. Need to release lower back (release hips, really).
20:52
Dinner: eggplant w/ a bit of red sauce and cheese. Mostly tasted OK, some nasty. Plus some mashed squash and slices of some sort of potato. Some observations and comments about the day. DK: loving the eggplant wile preparing it. Flan w/ dulce de leche and caramel for dessert. Yum. Sat outside for a bit (cloudy, then not). Worked on Moving Force a couple times w/ Alejandro M. Earlier, worked outside w/ Igor, AM, and Pablo. MF, Calliope, T3R, then EOTN w/ Pablo. Showed him a bit of triangulation. Igor and I worked on Red a bit, not agreeing on much.
23:31
KT circle in dining room at 21:30. Awkward at first, circling up + people kept arriving. Glenn requested it at dinner, so figured he was running the show. EOTN, free circulation, some dual circulation. Much dissonance, some of it good. Needed an official translator. Glenn talked, a bunch didn't understand, funny things happened. Trying to organize Hope failed rather miserably, then somehow worked. Broke into a smaller group (RobR, Glenn, me, Carolina, Jorge Salinas, Ruth), mostly played IBE and Askesis.
On the dinner team tomorrow. Currently sitting in the "Hall of Aspiration", Glenn typing on his IMac; Igor and Tim Butler riffing Bach in harmonic minor (actually just playing with the harmonic minor scale).
