During the Morning Sitting: a fly & mosquito took leisurely walks over my face.
Yesterday evening there was loud shouting from female voices. At this morning’s breakfast, Hernan told me he was woken at 01.00 by a kitchen person of responsibility to address an ongoing argument. When I went into the ballroom c. 06.50, one of the two arguers was asleep on the floor, having abandoned their sleeping quarters during the night.
One of the posted House Rules has this:
Please act towards others with goodwill and with courtesy;
Otherwise, be polite.
In a course that works at this intensity, there are many opportunities to become irritated, even angry, with other participants; particularly rooming companions. The question for the participant is: how to honourably deal with anger?
The questions for the GC staff: how to deal with those who are unable to manage their anger; and the situations that result?
Meeting with Hernan regarding dealing with the eruptions.
10.28 Music is a quality organized in time, in space & in silence.
21.41 Personal meetings from 10.30 throughout most of the day. Many of these meetings addressed personal life issues of some magnitude.
Lunch at 13.00.
A good observation on frown-hand lock, which equivalates to mouth-hand lock.

Personal meetings after dinner. During one of the meetings: in Guitar Craft, we are asked to be In tune, in time & in tone. What is in tone?
Best shot this evening: something like, a good tone reflects inner generosity. Good tone reflects a good heart & positive feelings. A person with good tone is someone we’d like to be near. It sounds right, it feels right.
Another comment: sometimes Silence visits without being clothed in Music.
Meeting at 21.00 with Beginners & Immediates. A performance challenge was offered with names of Performance Groups chosen from two Hats of Nunez. Accidentally, the names of Beginners & Immediates have been mixed up in the selection.
A meeting with the Guitar Circle of Mexico at 21.30 in the Chapel; included discussing the possibility of a Guitar Circle course in Mexico.
A high-information day.
23.05 A spontaneous conversation with Dr. Mike covering a wide variety of arisings.
