Or the odd high C seeing as my range allows for a high D. As a choir girl I learnt many an angelic descant and most if not all Christmassy tunes. My brother could do lovely back up vocals I'm sure, as our father has a beautiful voice and we can jam as we drive...

amelia

He knows about his brother though, they had the same parents. I am their baby sister, their only sister, and I don't even know their names but we would share the same surname. I was told quite by accident about their existence by a British relative :!: I could come to America with you - I speak it a...

Ok I'm back from where I've been. Couldn't do any computer stuff. I had a wonderful time though which included dancing in Hungarian national costume (black material skirt with big colourful embroided flowers) to a gypsy orchestra. My uncle and aunt were visiting from uk. When I checked this out brie...

amelia

I only just checked this out as I have been away and it really is great. It is musically perfect, entertaining, interesting and fun. I wish I was there to harmonise with you again, that was fun doing that spontaneous evening a while back. I am sorry I am not. If you do do the american thing - I have...

Well I have joined facebook but have not been able to find forest in it. I needed to register in Australia and it gives me Australian anything to do with forest - all with australian addresses/localities. Any clues on how to override this, or, does the forest have an actual site/address thereof that...

amelia

And I am so in on this idea I am going to be doing it here but imagining I am doing it there. I love writing letters and sending postcards. Providing the envelopes - did you also say stamps ? Forest you don't cease to impress.

amelia

Ok, vaguely familiar with facebook - a friend sent me an email of her's and I have to join facebook myself to see it and communicate with her via that space or something. So, once I've joined how do I then use that space to relate to forest - does the forest have it's own facebook thingy? What I was...

amelia

I really wanna know what surgery the guy had so he could fit in the washingmachine in the first place?! He put a lot of thought into that one. I loved the careful placement ot the persian rug before he asked to be run over by the truck. Interesting priorities. The rug really takes the edge of the ro...

amelia

Wow, the photos I was taking have turned out so well. I took snap shots of sections of murals and here and there as the fancy took me. The`colours are amazing. An entire wall covered in photos of photos of forest artwork I think would be really cool and look great. Like a smaller wall, like the imme...

amelia

That is a really cool idea. I would be looking around for sure. It diffuses curiousity and suspicion and the gap or space for creativity that may eventuate to form a solution that may not be favourable to these places. I spose the police and law buildings are off limits, and the bank vaults ? What a...

amelia

Oh I forgot. As you enter that bellydancing shop shop, there is a small bookcase immediately to your left hand side. Many of the books - at a glance - are related to this topic in some way if you wanna check it out.

amelia

Oh I would LOVE to read that book. I would be working on my french AND my research into Arab eroticism. As a lover of dance I also became very interested as I learned Belly Dancing - arguably the most sensual erotic dance on the planet - how it fitted in/or didn't with Islam, historically, and now. ...

The system must count votes. I believe everyone should vote for this reason. Knowledge is one thing but it is the application of Knowledge that is the greatest wisdom. How a non vote is interpreted is also our responsiblity. Disgust, annoyance, disrespect or lack of trust causing a non vote to be ca...

amelia

Yes. It is the sysytem that needs to be changed but while it is there it is the only system in place so it does matter that we use the only thing offered to us... In Australia, both Woman and the Native Australian or Aboriginal (the originals), were declared people and afforded that legal construct ...

amelia

ps-there's a lake in this back garden and tony who is working here saw platypus ! He is making a list of all the birds he sees. This could be like my idea of the forest having it's own tarten - a healing tarten combining the original tarten of the land and then every country's flag colours represent...

amelia

Hello everyone. I have an idea. It could be very good or it could be impracticable. I put it to you to comment at the next meeting. Please pass it to another meeting group that it is better suited if appropriate. Thank you. I propose to only the forest, that I pay return airfare to Australia in exch...

amelia

Oh yes.

Forest you are the best.

Thanks to everyone who gave me hugs, smiles and kind words. Koszonom, merci, graci, gracias, hvala, ombrigado, arigato and terima kasih.

The best moments of my life have been at the forest.

Til next time. xo

Sacred geometry-deciphering the code. Stephen Skinner, Gaia books 2006. Very interesting. Makes sense why we became so mathematical, fixated on understanding with our minds, as it became possible for us to interpret, to the detriment of understanding things that we don't see, such as our feelings. A...

Mind Games. The guide to Inner Space. Classic mind training exercises for Imagination, Inspiration and Self Exploration. By Robert Masters & Jean Houston.

...that's put in by us I meant to say, sorry a typo. I'm taking out the o and putting a p back in. I agree with Dai about their language use. The original email is written in a condescending tone I haven't come across in a while and it can only do them, and, their level of representation good, to ha...

amelia

Hey all. My reference to protocol was them not considering ours; and ours is whatever we think/want/feel to do. Certainly with a collective consensus, but I am all about freedom and only was pointing out that I felt they should at least be going to some of the effort and time that I felt was being o...

amelia

But haven't we got enough to do, I certainly do, and if these people can't adequately promote themselves then what help are they to anyone. Giving them all this time is well over and above what they would receive anywhere else. The 'who you know' strategy was being adopted by them here without follo...

amelia

What I suggest IS appropriate is to thank them in their interest in Edinburgh's creativity, which is rife within the forest, but that we are unable to make an informed decision at this time and, this close to the festival. However, they are welcome to hold an information day/eve/event at the forest ...

amelia

Though bored by the first half-sentence of the original email, I pressed on, and what was clearly mentioned was for them to be able to "register people", though what they were offering was not clearly mentioned. To have a table where they can register people and to have given notice of this, and the...

amelia

I think this is LOVELY. Some of my friends used to home school their kids and I always did things with them, also when I worked as a Ranger I learned a whole stack of great Earth-Education activities and had to do school support things. Here I enjoy doing face painting and story reading. When I am t...

Are you refering to the little picture as the 'avatar'? I would like a little picture and don't know how to go about adding one. Can I choose a picture from my own collection, I also wonder. Please could someone further enlighten me. Thank you.

amelia

To be human is to create. Another blurb on this group would be 'where creativity serves economy'. Enormous credibility comes with agreeance for this group to be given place amongst [i]the real [/i]that is the forest. I don't like the idea. Sure have some of their pamphlets, but promoting them as one...

reduction in all green spaces is occuring world over. Would've been earmarked for something wayback. Here in Australia councils use 'golf course' for the 'avail for accom later' technique tho I believe Victoria has wised up to this. And the fact that it is student accom. Consolidating the low cost a...

amelia

sounds good. No help for the immediate future but can guide people through a routine. Have 3 mats. Perhaps I can help out sometimes. I do an amalgum of various moves and different movement influences but it has the same effect - 'yoga' the union of thought and action, and a way of enhancing and ensu...

My travels back to Australia ensured the chill I caught in Edinburgh became pleurosy and a chest infection. In this painful and unfamiliar state my thoughts are in the Forest unisex toilets, bottom of the stairs, veer right then straight ahead. I directed a woman thusly to them and I felt badly for ...

When oh when will the 'r' go back into celebrate...?

So far the reason given for not wanting my flag to be received in the forest cafe is that it was up in the past and of reasons of 'evolution' to not do it again. Is to do it again considered a regressive action ? Absolute truths are truths absolute. Guidance for humanity is needed more now than ever...

amelia

New to Edinburgh, Chandra told me I could get a cab to the Sat eve performance. I have no idea where it is other than a street address so I could get it from the forest if anyone else needs a lift. Anyone in need?

amelia

Greetings. Alex reminded me of the protocol when I climbed a ladder to string a coloured banner on the cafe wall. I donate my flag -of Tibetan influence and origin but altered for wider appeal- to the cafe and felt it appropriate and lovely and wonder if others are agreeable. It hung on my verandah ...
