The Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The minimal comments are by Eden Haiku. 

 

Eden Haiku: Hey Yaku :))


Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning eden


Eden Haiku: Any topic on your mind this afternoon?


Yakuzza Lethecus: nothing in specific


Yakuzza Lethecus: how to bring a new topic to life artificially ?


Eden Haiku: So we can share a bit of silence if you like ;)


Yakuzza Lethecus: ok

 


--BELL--

 


Eden Haiku: How was your day at work?


Yakuzza Lethecus: a coworker collapsed, she was brought away by the ambulance


Eden Haiku: Oh, sorry to hear that.


Yakuzza Lethecus: i hope she’s fine and that it isn’t too serious
Yakuzza Lethecus: they didn’t know what’s wrong


Eden Haiku: Oh, that is worrisome. Do you know her well?


Yakuzza Lethecus: we are only 4 employee’s in the company


Yakuzza Lethecus: and i usually bring her to her daughters home after work, so yes we know each other well there


Yakuzza Lethecus: hi storm


Eden Haiku: Hope she will be ok.Hi Storm!


Storm Nordwind: Hi there :)


Eden Haiku: Yaku was sharing that a coworker collapsed at work today.


Storm Nordwind: Oh dear :(


Eden Haiku: How are you this morning Storm? Early for you ;)


Storm Nordwind: It is early, yes. But how could I resist my friends here ;)


Eden Haiku: How sweet of you to say ;))


Eden Haiku: It is raining here, the rain brings a peace the birds enjoy noisily, responding to the birds in SL!


Storm Nordwind smiles


Yakuzza Lethecus: i have nice weather around here


Eden Haiku: Noisily is not the right word though...happily rather.


Storm Nordwind loves the rain when he knows it will eventually stop!


Yakuzza Lethecus: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yakuzza...67731/sizes/l/


Eden Haiku: Right, they are saying it will clear up this afternoon ;)


Yakuzza Lethecus: this was yesterday afternoon


Yakuzza Lethecus: just a webcam shot


Eden Haiku: Oh pictures Yaku, thanks!


Storm Nordwind: Where are you Yaku? ;)


Eden Haiku: A view from your window?


Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, from the window where i am sitting


Storm Nordwind: Wonderful


Eden Haiku: Yaku lives a fairlyland!


Eden Haiku: Smooth hills and cows. I love cows!


Yakuzza Lethecus: hehe, if you live here it's normal and you come even up with more negative thoughts :P
Yakuzza Lethecus: cattle


Yakuzza Lethecus: they never saw the bull :P


Yakuzza Lethecus: :)


Eden Haiku: That was a citygirl’s point of view yes.


Storm Nordwind has lived in all sorts of places


Eden Haiku: having fond memories of my uncle's farm when I was a kid.


Eden Haiku: Was a worshipper of cows even then...Their eyes are so quiet...


Eden Haiku: Still cool in Colorado today?


Storm Nordwind: Currently 10 degrees


Eden Haiku: Brrr


Yakuzza Lethecus: at least with sun ?


Storm Nordwind: It's fine :)

It's the 8cm diameter hailstones that are the problem! :)


Eden Haiku: Hailstones, wow!


Storm Nordwind: Fortunately not this morning

Eden Haiku: Loves the mist in the pond


Eden Haiku: On my first PaB session, Mick told me that we meditated when the mist appeared so I was concentrating real hard not to miss it ;))


Storm Nordwind wonders whether or not, one day, to surprise everyone with an acrobatic fountain :)


Eden Haiku: What would that look like Storm?


Eden Haiku: Maybe you can give up a glimpse this morning?


Storm Nordwind: The spray going up and down and around - in time to music maybe


Eden Haiku: Oh you would have to script it first...:))


Storm Nordwind: no no - a special artistic and engineering feat - far too difficult for the spur of the moment - honest


Storm Nordwind: :)


Yakuzza Lethecus: i just hope sl stay’s alive at all


Storm Nordwind: vry true


Eden Haiku: Are there rumors of SL eventually going down?


Yakuzza Lethecus: at first only the fact that they fired 100 employees


Eden Haiku: Caught a tweet this morning that said: people are still on Second Life?


Eden Haiku: They did? Oh that is worrisome...


Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, i have to admit even last year when i joined i didn’t think of finding places like this


Yakuzza Lethecus: i thought sl is a dead thing with crappy graphics


Yakuzza Lethecus: hi eliza


Eden Haiku: Me neither. I had no idea. I thought it was all about shops.


Eliza Madrigal: Hi :) Sorry to be late!


Eden Haiku: Eliza


Yakuzza Lethecus: you’ll never be late :)


Eden Haiku: Eliza, good morning!


Eliza Madrigal: Good Morning :))


Eden Haiku: You just missed Storm, he might have crashed...


Eliza Madrigal: Oh, I see... hope the weather there is not terrible again?


Eden Haiku: It seems cold at least...


Eliza Madrigal: Cold in June... hmm


Eliza Madrigal: And you Eden, are you all prepared now?


Eden Haiku: Yaku was sharing about Second Life firing out about 100 employees recently. We hope our world won't collapse!


Eden Haiku: All packed, not at all :) Still a lot to do...


Eliza Madrigal: :) Packing is funny... one of those things one continually thinks they are finished with but it seems never...


Yakuzza Lethecus: will you stay connected to the world ?


Eliza Madrigal: Sorry to hear about SL employees though...


Eden Haiku: What complicates things is I have to leave the house welcoming for my boyfriend when he will be back jet-lagged from Paris in a week before he joins me, then leaving things here cause I will be back to greet my friends from India who will spend 3 days in Montreal before going to their French course in Quebec City. Fun but lots of juggling!


Eliza Madrigal: Oh, yes those are joyful stresses, but still stresses :)


Eden Haiku: Yes, Yaku, I have Wifi connection in the country house. (Well, as I learnt later in the day, there is a glitch with the Internet connection over there, might take a while...Very annoying!)


Eliza Madrigal tries to imagine Eden not using the ipad... hehe....


Eden Haiku: Though I'm a bit concerned because it is another server company and I have to install the wifi gizmo myself...


Eliza Madrigal: Do you have techie friends there, Eden?


Eden Haiku: Picturing myself laying on the moss with my cat and iPad.


Eliza Madrigal: Hey, Storm :)


Eliza Madrigal: ooooooooh :))


Yakuzza Lethecus: wb storm


Eden Haiku: Welcome back Storm! Did you have time to script a spectacular fountain for us?


Eliza Madrigal: haha... paintings of our time will have computers and cell phones.... "girl lounging in hammock with ipod..."


Storm Nordwind: Hello again - forgot to turn the fan on and overheated

 


--BELL--

 


Yakuzza Lethecus: at least linden labs announced that there will be an client for iphone and ipad "soon"


Eden Haiku: Well Eliza, it seems I am their techie friend, so I will have to count on Apple Care if there is any glitch.


Eliza Madrigal smiles


Eliza Madrigal: That seems a terrific thing, Ya... especially as people are constantly running around, etc


Eden Haiku: But maybe our techie friend here would know something: if the modem is from another company, it should be working with my Macs still?


Eden Haiku: I don't even know how these devices talk to each other ;)


Yakuzza Lethecus: usually it should :)


Yakuzza Lethecus: if u use wifi there you might have a router there which communicates with the external or build in modem


Yakuzza Lethecus: :P

Eden Haiku: Yes, the thing is we are getting a new router with wifi. In past years, we were only conncted through cablelines, no wifi.


Eden Haiku: That was before iPod and iPad, things change ;))


Eliza Madrigal: :))


Eliza Madrigal: What is this place like for you, Eden? Another sacred spot?


Eden Haiku: Ah yes, an artists village. Wonderful place, with so many friendly people!


Eliza Madrigal: Oh, so it isn't that you are hiding away.... just changing settings....


Eliza Madrigal: (though sometimes hiding away is fun) :)


Eden Haiku: Yoga centers, coffee shops, international art symposiums.


Eliza Madrigal: Ah! heart of a town then...


Eden Haiku: No no, really a village,. We are close to the river and it is in the middle of forest.


Eliza Madrigal: Sounds lovely


Eden Haiku: The art symposium is held every 2 years by a local artist in the forest. Installation art. Let me look for a link ;)))


Eliza Madrigal: In the forest? wow... yes thanks


Eden Haiku: http://jardinsduprecambrien.com/accueil.php


Storm Nordwind: Good afternoon Zen


Zen Arado: Hi all


Eden Haiku: Did not find the English page but there must be...Hi Zen!


Zen Arado: sorry I'm late


Yakuzza Lethecus: hey zen


Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen :)


Eliza Madrigal: I love this picture on the front though... blending...


Eden Haiku: Not much pictures though...No techies in this village as you see...:)


Eliza Madrigal: haha


Eliza Madrigal: Still, a village that recognizes the 'need' for art as expression of nature...


Eden Haiku: I saw the most wonderful art exhibit there in this symposium, an artist from a nearby town. Danielle Lagace. She created an installation with branches and black roses embroidered with quotations from one of our great mystic saints from the 17th century Marie de l'Incarnation.

 


--BELL--

 


Eliza Madrigal: She's the only artist link I clicked on just now!


Eden Haiku: http://www.expo.umontreal.ca/exposit...passees62.htm#


Eliza Madrigal: oops... not... the artist is tricia middleton (sorry) [and also sorry bell]


Eden Haiku: Link is with Universty of Montreal but we saw it first in the little gallery in the village.


Eliza Madrigal: wonderful way to spend the Summer, Eden


Eden Haiku: She also uses lots of quotes from "Women running with wolves' of Clarissa Pinkola Estes.


Eden Haiku: Yes, hoping I will find time to write a bit :-)


Eliza Madrigal: Only recently am I learning how much that book has influenced so many!


Zen Arado: she seems quite feminist


Eliza Madrigal: I remember that I gave a copy of that book to a neighbor who looked at me like I was crazy...


Eden Haiku: Feminist in the most wonderful way Zen, I'm sure Jan would appreciate the wild woman archetype!


Eliza Madrigal: yes :))


Eden Haiku: Gave so many copies of that book too ;)


Eliza Madrigal: :))


Eden Haiku: Did you ever hear her tapes Eliza?


Zen Arado: embroidery on the outside...repressed agression, anger and pain on the inside


Eliza Madrigal: No... never thought to look, Eden


Eden Haiku: Got them through Sounds True. She has the most wonderful storytelling voice!


Eliza Madrigal: Thank you :) Making note...


Eliza Madrigal: Zen, say more?


Zen Arado: just quoting from the description Eden gave


Eliza Madrigal: Ah :)


Eden Haiku: http://bit.ly/bm9Jvh (link to the Sounds true catalogue.)


Eliza Madrigal: ty


Zen Arado: about Danielle Lagace


Zen Arado: I cheated...used Google translator


Eliza Madrigal: That's not cheating, but smart :)


Eden Haiku: Yes, she creates objects with traditional women's tools like pins and embroidery and she evokes the soul.


Zen Arado: I like to try to read French tho


Zen Arado: and then check with translator


Eden Haiku: Very smart!


Eliza Madrigal: I had a wonderful mentor for a few years, who brought me back into a love of traditionally 'female' arts.... she is a poet and gourmet chef, and writes about food equisitely...


Zen Arado: good way to learn


Eliza Madrigal: until then I think I subscribed more to the notion of the english patient quote of "a woman who sews should never admit it"


Eliza Madrigal giggles


Zen Arado: I had to sew a rakusu 2 years ago


Zen Arado: found it difficult


Eden Haiku: :The English Patient" is such a great novel. I love Michael Ondaatje. The "tact of words" he says...
Eden Haiku: Rakusu?


Eliza Madrigal: I've not read anything else of his... that list gets long :)


Zen Arado: the little bib thing Zen students wear after you take the precepts


Eden Haiku: "Running in the family" is especially good.


Eliza Madrigal: Ah, if small probably more difficult to sew... and to get it just right?


Yakuzza Lethecus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakusu


Eliza Madrigal: ty Ya


Zen Arado: ty Yaku


Zen Arado: ys and the teacher is quite fussy about the stitching


Zen Arado: Hi Bleu
