Fireside I

Salviac village bisIt is to the Village Square that the townspeople come to exchange views and thoughts on their beloved spiritual philosophy, learning from each other in kindness and wisdom. Then when their minds have been filled, they retire to the tavern on the western side of the square where they share in social discussion, learning of each other’s events and challenges, happinesses and sometimes sadnesses, too. With a mug or glass in hand, they collect in front of the great Fireplace that dominates the long wall. Benches and chairs are often filled on market day with those who have come from farther away, bringing news of events and views the local people delight in hearing.

If you are feeling disoriented by all the philosophical talk by the fountain in the Village Square, then come sit down on the bench here with us for a while just to soothe your mind and share a mug of tea or coffee. Let’s all make sure the conversation is quiet and simple, caring and thougtful, exactly the kind of talk you might have around a warm hearth, the only light filling the room coming from the fireplace.

    YAY!! Tomorrow it’s Sunyay!

    Chai Lattes on the house! Or any other kind of latte you might like.

    What’re you all bringing to munch on?

    I’ll have to explore this typing problem with you a little more. Does it happen on all pages, or only on the Fireside page? It’s getting quite long now, and I was also thinking (like a) of starting a new page (but wasn’t fond of the idea of losing sight of all the old posts).

    My new gravatar… I’m sorry to lose Athos’ pic, but I thought I should change my image a little. And I so love Anne and Laura’s smiling faces, I thought I’d try the same.

    I checked it out and yes it is just the fireside page. Plus it is taking alot longer to load. If I remember correctly this is why Jamie started new pages at 1000 whispers.

    Hey y’all –
    Thanks for the invite – but I am working all weekend.
    Very very busy times right now – which is good for me!
    Perhaps one time I would love to see everyones lovely face!

    Yum! Shallot and cheese muffins a la Winnie! Ye Gads, I have the typing
    problem, too! There must be spooks in the keys! (My Happy Halloween contribution). That’s where the word spooky came from (just kidding). TexAnne! I felt that hug. Bone crushing. (Halloween again).

    First one into the Tavern this morning for the Fireside Get-Together puts the kettle on… and warms up the scones and muffins in the oven.

    Starting Fireside II… The old page can be found by scrolling down under ACIMVillage on the navigation bar. Please add your Fireside comments to the new page (click on Fireside II on the navigation bar). Thanks!
