Solobill was the guardian for today’s afternoon session. He provided me with the following chat log, and with his own comments interspersed. So in the rest of his entry, Solobill is the `I’ voice.
I arrived at 12:55 and Dakini was already inside the tea house.
Dakini Rhode: hi Bill :-)
Solobill Laville: Hi Dakini!
Dakini Rhode: r u in charge of logging?
Solobill Laville: Do you mean tracking the chat?
Solobill Laville: “Logging”?
Dakini Rhode: yes tracking
Solobill Laville: lol
Solobill Laville: Yes
Dakini Rhode: lol
Dakini Rhode: cool
Dakini Rhode: i should mention
Dakini Rhode: i’ll be taking a meeting in RL
Dakini Rhode: in a few minutes
Solobill Laville: OK
Dakini Rhode: as soon as it’s over
Solobill Laville: No worries
Dakini Rhode: i’ll be present in the room
Solobill Laville: I meant to turn my typing back on….
Dakini Rhode: until then
Solobill Laville: OK
Dakini Rhode: pretend I’m “meditating” or something :-)
Dakini Rhode: sleeping
Dakini Rhode: zoning out
Solobill Laville: he he
Dakini Rhode: haha
Solobill Laville: deep in the VOID!
Dakini Rhode: camping
Solobill Laville: multi-tasking…
Dakini Rhode: haha
Dakini Rhode: ever go to a place where there are lots of avatars camping?
Dakini Rhode: and nobody’s home?
Solobill Laville: no, only a few
Dakini Rhode: surreal
Solobill Laville: that’s strange…no?
Dakini Rhode: odd
Dakini Rhode: especially when you consider
Dakini Rhode: the energy to keep the computer on…
Dakini Rhode: probably costs more than they’re earning
Solobill Laville: A laptop is about 20 Watts / hr if I remember…
Solobill Laville: sigh
Dakini Rhode: time for me to “zone out”… sorry
Solobill Laville: bye for now
Storm arrived.
Solobill Laville: Good to see you!
Storm Nordwind: Hi both :)
Solobill Laville: Dakini is *concentrating*
Dakini Rhode: i’m not here yet :)
Solobill Laville: Oh, she’s back!
Dakini Rhode: no gone haha
Storm Nordwind: On a virtuous object I hope :)
Solobill Laville: lol
Storm Nordwind: I have been surveying
Solobill Laville: I’ve missed a lot over the last few days!
Storm Nordwind: If you leave Pema alone for a few minutes he will have bought more land
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Solobill Laville: lol - I noticed!
Solobill Laville: Do you see even more?
Storm Nordwind: In the future? I have no doubt
Storm Nordwind: If you see twisted red and white poles in our land, those are my surveying poles
Solobill Laville: Ahh…
Storm described his SLandscape architecture efforts.
Storm Nordwind: I need to see how far I can terraform the land
Storm Nordwind: So I have been “reverting” little square all over the place to find the natural level.
Storm Nordwind: Then I know I can sculpt the land +/- 4m from that level
Storm Nordwind: and of course that level varies a lot over the whole of SL in general and our lands in particular
Solobill Laville: Where are you doing that?
Storm Nordwind: Every 50m or so across the big plots to the north of here so far
Storm Nordwind: Those are the ones to be forested first
Storm Nordwind: They form the biggest contiguous plot
Storm Nordwind: So I have to get it right first time
Storm Nordwind: before I plant trees
Solobill Laville: Is there only a +/- 4 meter limit?
Storm Nordwind: On most regions that are not private islands yes
Solobill Laville: OK. On islands I’ve seen big chasms.
Storm Nordwind: And it’s not a delta on what we find when we buy it
Storm Nordwind: It’s a delta of LL’s original
Storm Nordwind: Some places we have are already at their max or min
Solobill Laville: Is this near the void I read about?
Storm Nordwind: No
Storm Nordwind: That is an ocean region. Pure ocean
Solobill Laville: Wow.
Storm Nordwind: We have part of the sim next to it
Storm Nordwind: called North Coastal - the name of the plot so far
Storm Nordwind: There are balloon rides around those three plots
Storm Nordwind smiles
Solobill Laville: I read! I want to take one!!!
Solobill Laville: Maybe later.
Storm Nordwind: After this session perhaps?
Solobill Laville: How long are they?
Storm Nordwind: The round trip of the three coastal plots takes maybe 10 minutes
Solobill Laville: I think I need to take a rain check until later…
Storm Nordwind: Sure
Storm Nordwind: You can fly them yourself
Storm Nordwind: But better shared with champagne
Solobill Laville: Of course!
Solobill Laville: lol
I tried to pick Storm’s brain and get caught up on PaB and the additional sessions.
Solobill Laville: How are things going here?
Storm Nordwind: The turnout varies here
Storm Nordwind: I filled in two graveyard shifts in the last 24 hours and there was just me
Storm Nordwind: The practice itself continues to be interesting
Storm Nordwind: as you can see from the blogs
Solobill Laville: Yes.
Storm Nordwind: Very odd to find myself writing a blog at all
Storm Nordwind: Always hated the format to read
Storm Nordwind: Now I write one copiously!
Solobill Laville: Excellent! I think there is a real interesting aspect of this kind of “minimal consistency” with PaB
Storm Nordwind: How do you mean?
Solobill Laville: 9 seconds - minimal, every 15 minutes - consistency
Storm Nordwind: I see
Solobill Laville: It bleeds over into the next 9 seconds
Storm Nordwind: Yes, if you are disciplined enough! :)
Solobill Laville: Yes, the snake in the grass…
A large white and green beetle was noticed wandering around the tea house.
Storm Nordwind: We have a bug with us
Solobill Laville: Is there a way to communicate what we’re doing yet?
Storm Nordwind: To whom?
Solobill Laville: Passers-by…interested parties
Solobill Laville: Searchers
Storm Nordwind: I think that will evolve soon
Storm Nordwind: One thing you’ll see when Pema posts the blog from 12 hours ago is that I believe we need a logo
Storm Nordwind: I’ve set out the limits and goals of that in the blog
Solobill Laville: Ha! funny, and true…
Solobill Laville: I’ll check it out…I may be able to help.
Storm Nordwind: And I’ve tasked my fiancee with doing it since she is a long term professional artist
Solobill Laville: Oh, even better!
Storm Nordwind: three decades of experience and very talented
Storm Nordwind: brb
I finally notice the beetle and Dakini “returns”.
Solobill Laville: Oh, there’s your bug!
Dakini Rhode: hello
Solobill Laville: Welcome back!
Dakini Rhode: my meeting lasted a bit longer
Dakini Rhode: than i expected
Dakini Rhode: hi Storm!
Solobill Laville: he is *concentrating*
Solobill Laville: lol
Dakini Rhode: Storm now? haha
Solobill Laville: Yep
Dakini Rhode: funny session with us zoning in and out
Dakini Rhode: every day
Dakini Rhode: at the time for this session
Dakini Rhode: i have a meeting in RL
Solobill Laville: We were talking about a logo, and a message to newcomers…
Dakini Rhode: oh good!
Dakini Rhode: its interesting to see
Dakini Rhode: how when i’m asked to explain what we’re doing
Dakini Rhode: i find myself grasping
Dakini Rhode: at something that slips thru my fingers
Solobill Laville: I think it’s simple - it is a SL sangha
Solobill Laville: no?
Dakini Rhode: does it seem PaB is buddhist?
Solobill Laville: no
Dakini Rhode: Zen Retreat is buddhist
Dakini Rhode: i think a sangha is building there
Dakini Rhode: definitely
Dakini Rhode: very nice
Dakini Rhode: good feeling of how we support each other
Dakini Rhode: same thing for PaB too,
Dakini Rhode: now that I think of it
Dakini Rhode: yes, I know what you mean, Bill
Dakini Rhode: i convinced myself
Storm Nordwind: back
Storm Nordwind: catching up
Solobill Laville: I think you’re perspective is a bit different perhaps, and perhaps Storm’s too
Solobill Laville: For someone like me
Dakini Rhode: yes we all have a different perspective
Storm Nordwind: Which is good
Storm Nordwind: And yet I love the support that goes on just in the circle of blogs that are evolving
Dakini Rhode: please tell us how you see it, then
Solobill Laville: Yes; but I mean in terms of what is “this place”…
Solobill Laville: Just speculating
Dakini Rhode: ah
Dakini Rhode: this place SL, or the teahouse, the zen retreat, or playasbeing here?
Dakini Rhode: ha ha lots of places
Solobill Laville: I don’t see any of that as different, is what I mean
Storm Nordwind: or “reality”
Dakini Rhode: that’s cool
Solobill Laville: Just different things “here”
Storm Nordwind: that is not so far removed from my view
Solobill Laville: Yes, Storm, that is the real cool thing!
Dakini Rhode: what is “here” - is it the shifting group
Dakini Rhode: which changes every time?
Dakini Rhode: is it our internal sense
Storm Nordwind: or the perception of RL and SL as being the same?
Solobill Laville: The latter is what I was referring to.
Dakini and Storm discussed land matters and life matters.
Dakini Rhode: Storm you’re more on the outer fringes of
Dakini Rhode: our virtual space
Storm Nordwind: you mean the terraces?
Dakini Rhode: i still don’t see
Dakini Rhode: a purpose for tentacles
Dakini Rhode: going to the sea
Storm Nordwind: Oh I understand your meaning
Storm Nordwind: You want the reason?
Dakini Rhode: yes you’re near the Void
Dakini Rhode: i don’t know if i need the reason
Dakini Rhode: i’m happy to let the reason evolve
Storm Nordwind: This whole project is being driven. Though not by any single one of us, and that includes Pema
Dakini Rhode: i feel it’s guided…
Storm Nordwind: yes
Storm Nordwind: I think more than guided
Storm Nordwind: more propelled!
Dakini Rhode: like i said another time…
Dakini Rhode: i feel like i’m hanging onto the back
Dakini Rhode: of the caboose
Storm Nordwind remembers
Storm Nordwind: yes i understand that
Storm Nordwind: But that has been my own real life for the last 1-3 years anyway
Storm Nordwind: This is merely symptomatic!
Dakini Rhode: haha mine too
Dakini Rhode: for at least that long
Storm Nordwind: Yes well actually the last 15 years
Dakini Rhode: i need to drop
Dakini Rhode: anything not needed
Dakini Rhode: to not feel rushed
Storm Nordwind: But over the last shorter time, I recognize the signs
Storm Nordwind: In my case, 2 years or so ago, Kuan Yin came into my life
Storm Nordwind: She pressed the GO button
Storm Nordwind: Lit the blue touchpaper
Storm Nordwind: and she has very gently but absolutely insistently pushed me into a more wonderful place than i could ever imagine
Dakini Rhode: haha when i started having sittings here
Dakini Rhode: is when it all really started
Dakini Rhode: that little willingness
Dakini Rhode: to serve
We broached to the subject of compassion as a new guest, Trevor, arrived.
Solobill Laville: I think what you two have built here is an expression of your compassion, and creativity
Storm Nordwind: More than that Solo
Solobill Laville: A light for us moths!!!
Dakini Rhode: it is an expression
Storm Nordwind: We are acting as conduits
Dakini Rhode: for me, of what maybe inspires me
Dakini Rhode: but making a space
Dakini Rhode: maybe where anyone can be inspired
Solobill Laville: Inspiration is the great elixir.
Solobill Laville: So, thanks, humbly…
Storm Nordwind: Greetings Trevor
Trevor Berensohn: Hello everyone
Solobill Laville: Hello Trevor.
Dakini Rhode: hi Trevor!
Trevor Berensohn: thank you for inviting me Dakini =)
Dakini Rhode: yw Trevor
Dakini Rhode: we were sitting here discussing a sort of exercise we’re jointly doing
Trevor Berensohn: Ah
Dakini Rhode: sort of a postmeditation practice i call it
Trevor Berensohn: I’ll join in if I can
Dakini Rhode: 9 seconds every 15 minutes
Solobill Laville: That’s pretty good Dakini.
Dakini Rhode: :-)
Dakini Rhode: watch our minds
Dakini Rhode: change our view
Dakini Rhode: I need to use my own words
Storm Nordwind: You may wish to look at a description http://playasbeing.wordpress.com
Trevor Berensohn: Oh cool
Trevor Berensohn: I tried that the other day
Trevor Berensohn: or something like it I think
Dakini Rhode: did you?
Solobill Laville: Go on, Trevor.
Trevor Berensohn: Yes I had been down after the death of a friend’s kitten for a couple days
Dakini Rhode: aw i have a little cat sharing my lap right now
Trevor Berensohn: So I decided to replace my bummed out thoughts just for that day with this: Everyone who sees me will reach enlightenment
Storm Nordwind: A great thought
Dakini Rhode: that’s powerful
Trevor Berensohn: Felt like walking through paradise with the most amazing beings for a day
Solobill Laville: Excellent!
Trevor Berensohn: Much more fun then being all sad
Storm Nordwind bows to that wisdom thought
Trevor Berensohn: So perhaps just knowing you has inspired me
Solobill Laville: We were just discussing compassion.
Solobill Laville: That seems quite on topic.
Another guest, Prosper, joined in. Prosper struggled a bit maneuvering in the tea house.
Prosper Telling: mind if I join you?
Solobill Laville: Please do!
Dakini Rhode: Hello Prosper
Dakini Rhode: please!
Trevor Berensohn: Welcome Prosper
Solobill Laville: Hi, Prosper.
Dakini Rhode: (i just made the doors phantom)
Dakini Rhode: first the roof, now the doors
Dakini Rhode: to make it easier to get in here
Trevor Berensohn: Thank you I arrive in the roof
Dakini Rhode: haha Trevor
Solobill Laville: SL - easy to fly, hard to walk and sit!
Dakini Rhode: some of us arrived in the roof
Dakini Rhode: and got stuck up there!
Trevor Berensohn: Hahaha sorry I missed that D
Solobill Laville: lol
Trevor jumped right in.
Trevor Berensohn: Can I ask what definition of compassion?
Trevor Berensohn: So I know what ballpark we’re playing in =)
Solobill Laville: Storm? want to answer that one?
Prosper Telling: Sorry,,, have a lag.
Dakini Rhode: lol LOTs of mention of that in the blog
Storm Nordwind: I will speak on for myself, but I see it as the wish to remove suffering from all sentient beings
Trevor Berensohn: Ah wonderful
Trevor Berensohn: I like this
Solobill Laville: I think that is what Trevor was talking about too.
Trevor Berensohn: Only motivation that seems worthy of us
Dakini Rhode: a wish, and also is it a feeling?
Solobill Laville: I think so, loving-kindness.
Dakini Rhode: a heart connection with all beings?
Storm described his view of compassion.
Storm Nordwind: I saw a picture of an American Buddhist temple recently. It had a special garden
Storm Nordwind: I blogged about it
Storm Nordwind: It was called the garden of the arhats
Trevor Berensohn: Oh my
Dakini Rhode: a saw that photo
Storm Nordwind: i,e, beings that have gone beyond to liberation
Storm Nordwind: but it had a profound effect on me
Dakini Rhode: i dreamt about a place like that
Storm Nordwind: and not what you might expect
Dakini Rhode: a long time ago
Dakini Rhode: it was not what i expected in the dream either
Storm Nordwind: I knew I did not want to follow that path
Dakini Rhode: it led to rebirth
Trevor Berensohn: the dream?
Storm Nordwind: These beings were no longer giving back
Dakini Rhode: the dream i had
Storm Nordwind: they were hollow shells
Dakini Rhode: two conversations at once
Trevor Berensohn: Ah
Solobill Laville: Arhats were hollow shells?
Dakini Rhode: your garden reminded me of my long-ago dream
Trevor Berensohn: I’m curious Storm. What path… no follow?
Dakini Rhode: but i’m not sure
Dakini Rhode: real arhats are like that
Solobill Laville: Not Boddhisattvas you mean?
Storm Nordwind: Yes that’s what I mean
Storm Nordwind: beings wanting to be free for themselves and not for others
Storm Nordwind: A good intention
Storm Nordwind: but not one that can motivate me
Dakini Rhode: very blissful for awhile
Storm Nordwind: The way of compassion is the only one that moves me
Trevor Berensohn: I am confused; a bit new to this
Dakini Rhode: but i think
Dakini Rhode: we all make it together
Dakini Rhode: because we’re not truly separate
Trevor Berensohn: oh the difference between Bodhisattva and Arhat?
Trevor Berensohn: It seems good that some go on & some stay
Solobill Laville: What temple?
Storm Nordwind: the garden was at the Hsi Lai Temple
Prosper Telling: The basic difference between Theravada and Mahayana then?
Storm Nordwind: The picture is here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...hat_Garden.jpg
Solobill Laville: thanks.
Dakini Rhode: yes maybe Prosper
Trevor Berensohn: Oh thank you
Solobill Laville: Yes, Prosper, I think you are pretty much correct.
Storm Nordwind: Between Hinayana and Mahayana/Vajyrayana
Storm Nordwind sees his spelling is not quite correct!
Solobill Laville: lol
Trevor Berensohn: But there is compassion in Hinayana, surely
Solobill Laville: Of course!
Dakini Rhode: maybe its the difference
Trevor Berensohn: But it’s not different
Trevor Berensohn: ?
Dakini Rhode: between different levels of understanding
Prosper Telling: If I may pose a question, in the Diamond Sutra it says a Bodhisattva does not dwell in concepts of self, other, individuated existence or life span…
Dakini Rhode: wow that is SO appropriate
Dakini Rhode: i just realized that
Dakini Rhode: again
Storm Nordwind nods and smiles
Prosper Telling: So isn’t there a point where liberation of other is liberation of self and vice versa.
Dakini Rhode: that’s what i think Prosper
Dakini Rhode: if you get to the point you’re liberated
Dakini Rhode: you see you’re not separate
Trevor Berensohn: Yes sometimes I get the feel that as I am liberated so is the whole universe
Dakini Rhode: so there can be no instance of liberating only yourself
Solobill Laville: There are those who argue, of course, everyone and everything is already there
Storm Nordwind: We are a bunch of people here who are at that point? :)
Dakini Rhode: yes
Solobill Laville: Just don’t know it
Dakini Rhode: yes Bill
Trevor Berensohn: Haha then we are truly silly
Dakini Rhode: haha
Trevor Berensohn: So what is this, then
Dakini Rhode: we are fooling ourselves?
Trevor Berensohn: this here & now that seems to be
Dakini Rhode: play?
Dakini Rhode: playing?
Solobill Laville: Great questions
Prosper Telling: Just flowers in the sky as as I can tell
Dakini Rhode: beautiful way to see it
Storm Nordwind: We are sitting in the comfort of our RL homes discussing this. I look out and see suffering everywhere through ignorance of what we are discussing. I feel an urge to help there
Trevor Berensohn: Brb bank fax… my apologies
Dakini Rhode: you express your compassion
Dakini Rhode: and your insight
Dakini Rhode: and people are automatically helped by that
Dakini Rhode: i think
Solobill Laville: It takes a certain level of letting go to be at that point
Solobill Laville: Many people can’t move very far beyond themselves I think
Prosper Telling: And for others, SL is a way to connect with folks who are a bit far from Dharma friends
Solobill Laville: Yes, Prosper
Suddenly a white glowing orb falls (Eru’s avatar) through the phantom roof…
Dakini Rhode: wow Eru
Dakini Rhode: I want that avatar!
Dakini Rhode: I need that avatar
Solobill Laville: Follow the light….
Storm Nordwind: You are that avatar
Trevor Berensohn: Hmmm all faxed and back now
Dakini Rhode: haha but i want to look like it
Dakini Rhode: wb Trevor
Trevor Berensohn: ty
Solobill Laville: Hello, Eru.
Trevor Berensohn: I’m sorry I’m new again. what’s an avatar exactly?
Dakini Rhode: like tinkerbelle
Dakini Rhode: it’s the shape
Dakini Rhode: the form you have in SL
Trevor Berensohn: Oh ok sorry
Dakini Rhode: well that’s what i meant
Dakini Rhode: that’s actually the shape i think
Dakini Rhode: i want eru’s shape
Solobill Laville: he he
Solobill Laville: We know what to get you for your SL birthday!
Dakini Rhode: ball of light
Dakini Rhode: haha
Storm Nordwind: And not he cuddly bug to your right? Poor thing!
Dakini Rhode: hmm
Solobill Laville: Maybe the bug will go to the light!
Storm Nordwind: The bug is after more basic things!
Dakini Rhode: i do not feel i want to look like the bug
Trevor Berensohn: maybe the bug is the light
Dakini Rhode: but that is an attachment
Dakini Rhode: or an aversion
Storm Nordwind: both are the same
Solobill Laville: Yes, Storm’s right on that I think
Storm Nordwind: brb
Trevor Berensohn: Is a preference an attachment?
Solobill Laville: If you’re attached to the preference, a Zen master might say
Trevor Berensohn: But same and different seems to miss it somehow
Dakini Rhode: wanting only the good stuff and not wanting the bad stuff
Dakini Rhode: quotes around good and bad
Solobill Laville: Yes.
Dakini Rhode: relatively speaking
Trevor Berensohn: But wait. but it’s not good or bad, just a label I thot
Dakini Rhode: yes
Trevor Berensohn: Haha good and bad is the game
Solobill Laville: There really is no such thing as good and bad, we just call it so
Trevor Berensohn: So why did we originally do this?
Dakini Rhode: because we had the thought
Dakini Rhode: we are separate?
Dakini Rhode: and then we had the thought
Trevor Berensohn: Start seeing things all separate & stuff
Dakini Rhode: we had to preserve our separate selves?
Dakini Rhode: and everything went downhill from there?
Trevor Berensohn: Phenomenonenon
Solobill Laville: We are a bit hard-wired that way, I’m afraid.
Eru changed his appearance into a more human-like form.
Solobill Laville: Well Eru has made quite a transformation!
Trevor Berensohn: Yay for Eru
Eru Males: I am Eru.
Dakini Rhode: still transforming?
Dakini Rhode: hi Eru
Solobill Laville: Hello, Eru.
Solobill Laville: Have a seat.
Eru Males: It is alright.
Eru Males: You may call me Eru now.
Trevor Berensohn: This is so weird
Solobill Laville: What?
Trevor Berensohn: We’re talking about the stuff that I’m hesitant to talk about first life
Trevor Berensohn: WB Prosper
Trevor Berensohn: and Storm
Solobill Laville: This is a great community to share these ideas.
Dakini Rhode: we love talking about this stuff
Dakini Rhode: eat it up
Trevor Berensohn: My helper is trying to get online
Trevor Berensohn: She told me yesterday that she decided she wants to reach enlightenment as quickly as possible to help everyone
Eru has summoned a red fox and is hopping it around the tea house, through all of us, and into the fire.
Solobill Laville: Storm, don’t look now but there a fox in the fire!
Trevor Berensohn: I hope she can join us soon
Eru Males: Do not be concerned.
Trevor Berensohn: Erm…
Dakini Rhode: a firefox!
Solobill Laville: lol
Trevor Berensohn: Ha
Storm Nordwind groans
Prosper Telling: lol
Trevor Berensohn: Cuuuute fox
Kitsune: I am a spirit.
Dakini Rhode: we need some wildlife here
Solobill Laville: I think I like Eru!
Dakini Rhode: now we have the bug and the fox playing in here
Eru Males: Eru is an attendant to Inari.
Trevor Berensohn: good I missed them
Solobill Laville: Hmm
Dakini Rhode: I bet Pema knows Inari
Solobill Laville: Dakini, is there a sitting tonight?
Dakini Rhode: yes!
Dakini Rhode: a sitting tonight, 6PM SLT
Solobill Laville: Great.
Solobill Laville: I’ve been out of town, and am glad to be back.
Dakini Rhode: i’m glad you’re back
Solobill Laville: thx :)
Trevor Berensohn: Get this fox off me lol
Eru Males: He likes you.
Solobill Laville: Prosper, is this your first time here?
Prosper Telling: Yup.. just ported nearby and overhead a kewl conversation
Solobill Laville: Excellent, welcome!
Dakini Rhode: i’m lagging quite a bit
Trevor Berensohn: Glad ur here Prosper
Trevor Berensohn: Good things happen round here
Storm Nordwind: There are many cool places to explore within a short walk too
Solobill Laville: Yes, this whole are is wonderful. Storm’s gardens are awesome.
Solobill Laville: Storm, did you share the PaB url with Prosper?
Storm Nordwind: I can. It’s http://playasbeing.wordpress.com
Dakini Rhode: is Inari the Japanese fox god?
Dakini Rhode: Shinto?
Eru Males: No.
Storm Nordwind: There is a small shinto area close by to the north east
Eru Males: Yes, we know.
Eru Males: It is the shrine of Susan-no-okami-sama
Trevor Berensohn: Hmmm something for everyone
Dakini Rhode: lots of religions represented in this little area
Storm Nordwind: There is even a Christian church
Dakini Rhode: wonderful shrines, gardens
Storm Nordwind: and the shell of a synagogue
Storm Nordwind: A Daoist temple
Trevor Berensohn: Oh that’s good. I grew up Christian
Storm Nordwind: A Confucian place
Trevor Berensohn: What about a Greek temple?
Storm Nordwind: I built one
Storm Nordwind: for a friend
Storm Nordwind: But it is not used for the Greek gods
Storm Nordwind: It is called the Angel Temple
Storm Nordwind: It is also close by
Trevor Berensohn: Ah ok
Trevor Berensohn: I like the greek architecture
Storm Nordwind: You will like his simple gazebo then
Storm Nordwind: *this
Trevor Berensohn: I think I’ve seen it then?
Storm Nordwind: Possibly. To the south of here and slightly east
Trevor Berensohn: Dakini you get to do this several times a day? wow
Dakini Rhode: not me personally, Trevor
Dakini Rhode: but some of this group meets here 4x a day
Dakini Rhode: different people at different times
Dakini Rhode: every 6 hours
Trevor Berensohn: Wow that will remind me to do my six times bk
Trevor Berensohn: or it will remind me of this talk
Dakini Rhode: 1, 7, 1, and 7 - if you stopby, you’ll find someone here
Trevor Berensohn: what time is it there now?
Dakini Rhode: that’s all SLT
Dakini Rhode: same as PST
Trevor Berensohn: Ah ok
Solobill Laville: That is the time on the top right of your SL window.
Trevor Berensohn: Ah I see it now. thank you
Solobill Laville: And PST, yes.
Dakini Rhode: or PDT now
Solobill Laville: Oh, didn’t know that, but it makes sense. May…
Solobill Laville: Does anyone mind
Solobill Laville: if I conclude the 1:00 session?
Dakini Rhode: lol not at all Bill
Trevor Berensohn: Not my place to say lol
Storm Nordwind shrugs
Dakini Rhode: sure it is, you’re the guardian!
Solobill Laville: I need to run.
Dakini Rhode: r u ok with saving the chat?
Trevor Berensohn: kk good to meet you Solo
Solobill Laville: Yes - I will compile it.
Solobill Laville: You too, Trevor!
Dakini Rhode: we log the chat and post it on the blog
Storm Nordwind: A very long one this time!
Solobill Laville: Yes, until we meet again, peace!
Trevor Berensohn: Ah fun
Dakini Rhode: is this OK with you Trevor?
Storm Nordwind: Are the newcomers ok with that?
Trevor Berensohn: Of course it is
Dakini Rhode: if you want anything omitted, just let Pema know
Storm Nordwind: No avatars are injured in the process ;)
Trevor Berensohn: Ha
Solobill Laville: Not permanently anyway!
Dakini Rhode: :-)
Solobill Laville: bye for now.
Storm Nordwind: Pema likes you to break up the sections like he does too
Trevor Berensohn: “no actual injury occurred.”
Dakini Rhode: bye
Storm Nordwind: bfn
