    Eden Haiku: :)
    Riddle Sideways: was nice not to
    Eden Haiku: yes

         Meant to bring this up at Guardian meeting, but no time.  Seems 90 sec is the time some get their opinions poked in.


    Eden Haiku: Today is the Day of the Dead in catholic church.
    Eden Haiku: A year ago, on that day, I walked into this pavilion for the first time :)
    Riddle Sideways: oh, it is not on halloween
    Bleu Oleander: so 1 year at PaB Eden?
    Riddle Sideways: wow, happy anniversery
    Eden Haiku: Yep!
    Eden Haiku: Thank you ;)
    Bleu Oleander: wonderful!
    Eden Haiku: It has been a wonderful year, yes!

    Bleu Oleander: don't remember when I first came here
    Bleu Oleander: I was involved with Kira first
    Eden Haiku: I remember when I saw you first Bleu, in sessions :)
    Riddle Sideways: Pema, remembers for me :)
    Eden Haiku: Had seen you in Kira before and then here
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: we were doing our salons at Kira
    Eden Haiku: You have been here from the beginning Riddle, or almost?
    Riddle Sideways: yep
    Riddle Sideways: here a year and you still come back
    Riddle Sideways: must be worth something
    Eden Haiku: You were in this black and blue avatar with a white face and lots of dark hair Bleu.
    Bleu Oleander: oh yes
    Eden Haiku: Oh yes, I find Play as Being is a very precious community.
    Riddle Sideways: Bleu, your wardrobe/inventory must be huge
    Bleu Oleander: 15,000
    Riddle Sideways: wow

         Gentle Reader, you are advised to pass around the next section, Not worthy of your time.
    Eden Haiku: If you would pardon the long quote, I would like to ask you a question Riddle.
    Riddle Sideways: ok
    Eden Haiku: The quote is from your interviwe. Read it a long time ago and saved the quote.
    Eden Haiku: "As comfortable as you have made me with SL and PaB friendships there are still things in my life, my past and my thinking that have not fit in yet. Perhaps some day I can relate to the group some of those examples. Some in the group may know what a live blade coming at you does to time. Most would know the equivalent of being on stage in front of 10,000 and hitting the wrong B# and then just smiling the smile of joy. I have the greatest of inner needs to discuss out of body mishaps and flukes with somebody that has done same. Are we ready to discuss parallel universes/realities. Or speak of Magic. There are simple, complex and chaos levels. We always discuss the simple. We edge up to the complex at the end of the hour. When will be explore chaos, the chaotic states, the over whelming of the rules, the overrunning of 'your' borders. Riddle in PaB Chronicles by Adams #3 A
    Riddle Sideways: oh dear, that was a long time ago
    Eden Haiku: I would love to hear you talk more about parallel universes & realities... But I realize you guys might have political concerns on your mind today...
    Riddle Sideways: Adams, forced me to be interviewed :)
    Eden Haiku: hehe
         Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning
         Riddle Sideways: Hi Yaku
         Eden Haiku: Hello Yaku :)
    Riddle Sideways: Politico in minds as in "get over it" and be done now
         Bleu Oleander: hi Yaku
    Riddle Sideways: my state (and Bleu's too) are in much need of fixing
    Riddle Sideways: but this election might not be enough
    Eden Haiku: yes Bleu, this avatar reminds me of you the first times but it was not this exact one. There was blue in it ...
    Bleu Oleander: hmmm
    Bleu Oleander: yes my state too!
    Yakuzza Lethecus: this morning before work i saw a short report about the us elections and that there was never so much money donated and that company´s don´t have any limits anymore

         [Blantingly pointing out-ly-ness] Does EveryBody get how overly egoistical America is with this "United States" name being shortened to "US".  Well, of course you do if you are "THEM" and not "US". 

    Eden Haiku: Do you also vote on many levels (local and so on...) for the mid-term elections?
          Riddle Sideways: WB Alf
    Yakuzza Lethecus: while 3/4 of the donations are for the republicans
         Riddle Sideways: did you crash?
                     --BELL--
    Bleu Oleander: sooo much money
    Riddle Sideways: yes, sooooo much money given to advert compaigns
    Eden Haiku: gently tapping on Riddle's fingers who has been typing during the silence...
                 Oh crap, caught at talking in the silent time :(
          Alfred Kelberry: thank you, riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: and we do vote on local and state stuff
          Yakuzza Lethecus: hey alf
          Alfred Kelberry: just got logged off
    Eden Haiku: ah, so many issues on this day...
          Alfred Kelberry: "region experiencing problems" :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: especially those atack ad´s seem to be an issue
    Riddle Sideways: oh sorry, was that what that bell was :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/...deo800144.html <- if somebody can understand german
    Alfred Kelberry: what is it?
    Eden Haiku: giggles at Riddle's beginner's mind
    Yakuzza Lethecus: well, just what i saw this morning about the attack ads in the american election
    Yakuzza Lethecus: that approx 3 billion dollars have been spent into the campains
    Riddle Sideways might believe that
    Alfred Kelberry: attack ads... so boring :)
    Eden Haiku: Understood enough of the video to see how blunt politicians are at lying...
    Riddle Sideways: in my state one candidate has spent $150M of her own money
    Bleu Oleander: a sorry state of affairs!
    Riddle Sideways: so, yes... let us talk of a kinder/gentler parallel universe
    Alfred Kelberry: :)
    Riddle Sideways: where nice volunteers do things for the good of all

    Eden Haiku: And yet this parallel universe can be just a step away...
    Riddle Sideways: step, is a nice word
    Riddle Sideways: step as in... you can do it, if you choose too
    Eden Haiku: yes
    Eden Haiku: what is stopping us to take this step?
    Riddle Sideways: yourself
    Eden Haiku: yes
    Bleu Oleander: many do take the step
    Riddle Sideways: maybe trite, but that is all that is stopping us
    Eden Haiku: many do, I do sometimes, sometimes I do not dare
    Eden Haiku: I fall back into patterns of shutting up
    Bleu Oleander: need to support those who do, even if you can't do yourself
    Eden Haiku: right
    Riddle Sideways: thats what this group can do
    Riddle Sideways: almost all of us have bared our minds here. and been rewarded
    Riddle Sideways: another thing. there are more then one way to step
    Riddle Sideways: many directions
    Bleu Oleander: lots of ways
    Eden Haiku: side steps are good too :)
    Riddle Sideways: if you travel on only one path
    Riddle Sideways: and take only forward steps
    Riddle Sideways: then you go to that place
    Eden Haiku: but if you wanna dance, then...
    Riddle Sideways: which is very very nice
    Riddle Sideways: just that it is not all
    Riddle Sideways: exactly, if you want to dance
    Riddle Sideways: "It's a lot like Dancing"
    Riddle Sideways: by and about one of my heroes
    Riddle Sideways: long ago, I found my happy place
    Riddle Sideways: and wanted to go back there again
                        --BELL--
    Alfred Kelberry: :)
    Riddle Sideways: (you can never go home)
    Eden Haiku: The book sounds interesting Riddle. Have you studied with Dobson? http://www.aikidojournal.com/bibliog..._details?id=27
    Riddle Sideways: seems the dance steps were forgotten
    Riddle Sideways: only trained with him once
    Eden Haiku: 'happy place" like in Lia's musings, I love this expression...
    Riddle Sideways: was injured another time and could not train. Had to sit and listen (deeply)
    Eden Haiku: Your avatar's appearance of an aikido practioner is it?
    Riddle Sideways: well, if I remember
    Eden Haiku: ;)

    Eden Haiku: Bleu you are back to dark :)
    Riddle Sideways: Blue has sooo may shades / hues
    Bleu Oleander: felt like my old self in the stripes .... feels better now
    Riddle Sideways: well, when I tried to go back to "the same ol place"
    Riddle Sideways: ya, can't get there from here
    Riddle Sideways: I went to a different place
    Riddle Sideways: and then yet another
    Riddle Sideways: really did reenforce this parallel universes therory
    Eden Haiku: Like being in your Crookd House, opening a door opening on other doors, adjacent possibles?
    Riddle Sideways: yes, so many discribe that way
    Riddle Sideways: hallways of doors
    Riddle Sideways: for me there was an exercise that I was suppose to turn 180
    Eden Haiku: a door opening into open sea as in a Magritte
        [[[YES]]]]
    Riddle Sideways: and I only went 90
    Eden Haiku: how so?
    Riddle Sideways: again, did not do what instructor said
    Eden Haiku: ah
    Eden Haiku: that is how you eneded into your 'happy place'? Not turning 180 but 90?
    Riddle Sideways: not sure which angle of view point is which now
    Eden Haiku: not even sure what we are talking about :)

    Riddle Sideways: which had exercises on how to
    Eden Haiku: wonders if Yaku is still with us or in sonme Spanish class...
    Yakuzza Lethecus: now i hear the bangles in my mind
