2008.08.17 07:00 - Silence is Golden

The Guardian for this meeting was Fael Illyar. The comments are Fael's.

This meeting was very silent, which is quite unusual but lately has been getting more common. To me, this is a positive sign. People are getting to where they no longer ask questions. If you do have a question, however, please don't hesitate to ask. It'll make things clearer for everyone, even the ones who do the answering. Yes, even if they no longer ask questions.

Fael Illyar: Hi Avastu :)
Avastu Maruti: hello my friend

Gaya Ethaniel smiles
doug Sosa: just cause i'm afraid to say anything.
Wol Euler: lol
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Wol Euler: resistance is futile! assimilate!

Doug seemed to be hinting that he had a subject but ... ended up saying nothing.

Fael Illyar: do you have a possible subject, Doug?
doug Sosa: nope. :)
Gaya Ethaniel thinks Wol watches too much sci-fi
Wol Euler: :-)
Gaya Ethaniel: [2008/08/10 7:34] Avastu Maruti: anything that arises, arises perfectly
Fael Illyar: yes, perfect :)
Wol Euler: so to speak
Fael Illyar: whatever arises after that, also does so perfectly :)
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
doug Sosa: so why not sit back and let it happen?
Fael Illyar: Yes :)
Gaya Ethaniel has been sitting back a while since the end of the girl talk

Here's the first moment of silence. 3 minutes. After which Meesha arrives.

Faenik: ah :)
Meesha Cuttita: hello

Fael Illyar: Hi Meesha :)
Wol Euler: hello meehsa
Avastu Maruti: hello my friend
Wol Euler: *meesha, sorry
doug Sosa: :)
Meesha Cuttita: hi, i'm on an awfully slow computer, takes ages to rez

Another moment of silence. This time 7 minutes, discounting Faenik's line. 4 and 3 if you count that.

Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Gaya Ethaniel: Nice
Wol Euler is awake again
Gaya Ethaniel laughs
Fael Illyar continues sitting and listening.
Faenik: could be

3 more minutes of silence. Then Tomo disappears and Adams arrives.

Wol Euler: bye tomo
Fael Illyar: Hi Adams :)
Wol Euler: hello adams
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Avastu Maruti: hello my friend
Adams Rubble: sorry Gaya

Adams apologizes to Gaya but ... unfortunately, I missed what it was for. Perhaps she sat on Gaya?

Gaya Ethaniel: np at all Adams
Adams Rubble: Hello Everyone :)
doug Sosa: :)

Again 3 minutes, after which doug takes off.

Wol Euler: bye doug

Adams Rubble: bye Doug
Faenik: could be
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Adams Rubble wonders if it has been silent all morning
Wol Euler smiles. You can set your system clock by Doug.
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Wol Euler whispers very quietly "yes, it has."
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Fael Illyar nods 'all silent, all is well.'
Adams Rubble: :)
Wol Euler sings very quietly "stille nacht, heilige nacht ..."

Silence of 5 minutes here. Gaya then laughs for no apparent reason. It seems Faenik understood what it was about.

Gaya Ethaniel laughs
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow enquiringly.
Faenik: なるほど^^
Gaya Ethaniel laughs again 'Wol you are just too humourous for me'
Wol Euler: ah :)

Silence of 6 minutes, ends with Adams taking a more relaxed pose and moving a bit. Daily nap, perhaps?

Gaya Ethaniel: Looks relaxing Adams...
Gaya Ethaniel: Or not...
Fael Illyar: :)
Adams Rubble snores very very quietly
Wol Euler checks Adams' pulse. OK, she's still breathing.
Gaya Ethaniel breathes sigh of relief
Faenik: なるほど^^
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Wol Euler: It's a pity that Adelene is so seldom here, I would have liked to discuss further her views on compassion.
Gaya Ethaniel nods

Again, not counting Faenik, 8 minutes. 2 and 6 if counting. Looks like Faenik was wanting Adelene here as well.

Faenik: why not?
Adams Rubble: Bye everyone; see you at the Hall :)
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Fael Illyar: Ok, see you at the hall :)
Wol Euler: oh, nearly time for the guradians meeting
Wol Euler: later, adams.
Wol Euler: ok, I'm off. see you there, or elsewhere, or later.
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_

This meeting ends and a new meeting begins with much more talk :)
