091722 Watching Out
And by the way, what
It’s Saturday, Sep 17 2022 and we’re in the Loma Mar Redwoods in a clearing with a very old cabin or walkway– (We found two old planks that were bolted to cross beams on the ground, and evidence of deliberate clearing. We found this by taking the upward trail and branching off the main trail a couple of times.)
older
Interesting …. we’re not really sure–
[beam me up? something up?] The stars called on. It sounds different than ambiguous
We’d like to speak to our forest friends and MC. (gives spiel)
I know, I know. Ok, so let’s say … via more (through more? via amore? through love?)
Love way? I’m curious what used to be here in this clearing. Looks like someone built something here, do you know
For walking there
Like a bridge?
Number one, the weather is together
It could be a bridge but there’s no water here, not sure what it would have been a bridge over. Who am I talking to? Am I talking to Madre Cuyendas, someone else?
Y’all (Dave thinks this was more like “yeah” confirming it is MC we’re talking to)
I’m speaking to y’all? Well, that’s good. Who am I talking to?
By aces back page, last resort
IDK what that means. What message are you trying to convey?
One of these. Of course, it’s a preview.
Of what?
Well that, it’ll breathe? Breech? Breed? She says she has one of the things.
What’s the thing?
Or, how to cut down on the training.
Well that sounds useful. (Dave thinks he hears a sound but there’s nothing) Cut down on training, what training are you referring to? Your training in something? Or something Dave and I are training for
Oh she’s here
Who? Hello to whoever it is, can you tell me who you are?
A rule of fizzle reaction (Dave thinks that isn’t right). Biggest!
The biggest person is here? Are you talking about MC?
All the way
I still don’t know if I’m talking to MC, but if so, we’re glad to hear from you
Welcome!
Thank you! I love this beautiful forest.
Hello!
Hello! Can you tell me more about who I’m talking to? Dave keeps looking to the left because he thinks he hears something. There’s a loud blue blue jay but IDK if that’s what he’s hearing.
Call you, there’s some …
We did call to you
This MAN
You mean Dave? Dave is the one speaking and holding the radio.
All the meed’tha and the favors
IDK what is meed’tha, it sounds Diehli
All of your (Spanish word)
Dave doesn’t understand Spanish, so you might not want to use those words.
Babble mascot. Trying to get outside and enjoy the day
It’s a nice day, yeah. So in previous sessions, it sounded like you were planning something really big that hadn’t yet started. But the last time we talked, it sounded like it did start. Can you tell me more about that situation? I hope I interpreted that correctly
You can do the same. You’ve heard. Schedule.
What is it that you’re trying to do?
A line (align?) above
You’re trying to align with something above. What was your goal with that project? What are you trying to accomplish?
So we can hear you. And we got it.
Ok, so you’re trying to hear us better. What have you been doing that’s working for you?
Right now you’ve got training, which is … (weird bird trill) (Dave thinks it was “witches”, not “which is”)
Are you calling us witches in training? Well, what kind of training do you think we need to do?
At least coming one. Fragrances! (I guess that could mean aromatherapy study but that seems pretty weird)
I don’t know of any training we’re in
Thrilled to be back, my voice
Are you saying we’re in a training? If so, what’s the goal, what are we trying to learn or that you want us to learn?
About that. The sound of the furnishings.
IDU that.
I freaked out, it’s stopping
What is the goal of the training we’re in? Dave keeps looking around, thinking he’s hearing something but I don’t hear anything but motorcycles in the distance
Elementally
We’re learning elemental things, like elemental magic?
Now we’re even
If we’re training, how are we doing? Good, bad?
I said one more thing is winding around, encounter the healthier, detecting higher, don’t come looking or not, it’s there. It’s sort of, uh …
That was a lot. I wish I could go back and listen right now to what you said
A landscape, a person
Yes, you are the landscape I think, and we’re the persons. How should the landscape and people communicate better
Think about it!
I think about it a lot but I don’t know the answer. Do you know the answer? If so, what is it?
And we’re back, back (birds chirp loundly)
Welcome back, I think the birds above are also back. So … I’d still like to know about what you’ve been working on. You keep saying that something was beginning, or hasn’t started, or is nascent or hasn’t been organized yet. What is the “it” that you’re working on
We have the above! Perfect for every day. Uh-huh! (They said this earlier, too, “above.” Could that be another word for air?)
What do you mean by have? You live there, you control it, it’s your territory? It could mean so many things
Even when it rains
It is going to rain soon, that will be lovely. Are you excited about it?
Or AND … I am, I am in nature.
Yes, we are in nature. What would you like us to know
Every time you manipulate
Go on. What are we manipulating, what are you referring to
A lot of … doesn’t matter. Are your friends on it?
What is “it” can you explain it? I don’t know what you’re referring to
Na na na. A person on the beat.
What would you like us to know most of all? What’s important for us to know? (loud birds)
LOUDER! (Note: as we walked up to this place, we heard more birds than we usually do and Dave said, “I think birds might have more to do with this than usual.”)
I don’t want to be too much louder because it’s disruptive to other people
I’ll probably be a hundred to the … I should be able to notice the jay (something)
A lot of times you talk about love. What do you want to tell us about love?
It almost seems like all day, so right
Yes, we do feel love all day
It can be a process
Do you have love in your life, too? In your existence?
Something else. A … (Dave missed that)
Try again.
The things there are, the ecstasy
You have ecstatic feelings in your life. What brings you those feelings?
There are … doing it … (something missing)
Try again. What brings ecstatic feelings in your life
Strolling, strange
Taking walks?
Doesn’t mean you couldn’t do it
So taking walks and doing strange things brings you ecstatic feelings?
El corazon
The heart. (Spanish translation of El Corazon)
Music quicker than ever
Music brings you ecstatic feelings
YES!
I wish I was a better musician. I should practice more. Where do you hear music?
KATE!
So you want me to play more music? Do you hear me every time I play music or only when I have this device on?
Remember stories of the children’s? (Fairy tales?)
oh, which stories about children?
A lay lay, aleta (Romanian word for fairy is iele?)
Tell me some details of the stories so I know what you’re talking about, which one
Dave: I’m hearing a mountain creek. (Dave said he heard more active bubbling and movement rather than flat)
The story of a mountain creek about children. Not ringing any bells sorry. Can you give me another detail?
Dave: I heard another word in spanish and the word perdido (it means “lost”)
Resorted to after
Perdido, does that mean lie? (no, it means lost)
It’s like the rain that always comes
When do you hear me when I play music or sing? I want to know so I can play music for you. Is it any time or only when we talk like this
I mean … nonstop
All the time, then. What if I wrote a song just for you, what would you think about that?
I think it said …
What would you think if I wrote a song just for you
Heart devices
What should be in the song?
A rounded day
What? Do you want … hmm … well, I can work on that. If you told me more about what your work is, what your goals and mission are, I can include that in the song
I love some!
Do you just want an instrumental song maybe
(Birds chirp) Agents
Why did you say agents
Have a … it’s hard to beat the equal opportunity. Endless pelicans.
You’ve said pelicans before. Tell me why you said agents.
Oh suddenly I’m been dreaming about the mist. I can see out to, again
I did dream about mist recently. Is that what you’re referring to?
Probably would have been best to carry water out here
We do have some water
A, a similar … those were the same. Coming in from every window
What’s coming in through the windows?
Againers. (could that have been “agents”)
IDU
Oh, delight! Have you long
Is it you coming through the windows?
I, salud
Why are you coming through the windows, what would make you do that
Where there was one, two. Who can it be? It’s extraordinary, all right?
It sounds like —
I can (can’t?) see for myself yet
Are you saying you’re expanding? Are you coming here where we are from somewhere else?
Lay of the land
Are you trying to learn the lay of the land?
Only the lonely can play
What do you like about our world?
Not like that
Tell me what is it like?
All girls wanna know me. I sense … had to go, winter’s coming
Yes, winter is coming, such as it is here. Is there winter where you are?
No more!
There’s no more winter where you are? Is that good or bad? (Dave looks around, hears something again). So … do you like talking to human beings like this
Hey girl, take it a little longer, watch out for … I’ll start it. All that’s left is moonlight.
Why did you say that? It’s sunny right now. Is it night where you are?
From a member of names, here she comes
Who’s coming
Stories and legends
Legendary mother, welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I’m curious about your mission
Watching out
What are we watching out for. Is there something we should be careful about? Something dangerous?
My, and the people
So you and your people are watching out for us
Good good
I’m glad. Thank you. Is there something dangerous that you’re trying to protect us from. WHen humans say watch out, it tends to mean somethign dangerous is coming, or something that can’t be overlooked. So when you say watch out, I wonder why you say that.
More like a series
A series of things to watch out for?
Normal adjacent
Are we in danger? Are you trying to protect us?
Hello, little surprised there
That surprised you? I’m trying to interpret what you said, and it’s tough. I’m curious how you interact with the earth that we live on. How does MC relate to the earth?
(Dave takes off headphones) I suddenly can’t make sense of anything. I kept hearing whooshing noises that sounded like they were made by a person or a thing running around us.
Kate: I didn’t experience anything like that.
