Wol Euler was guardian for this session.

Yakuzza Lethecus: guten morgen
Wol Euler: hello yaku
Wol Euler: sorry about that, I was reading Eliza's email about the guardians' meeting
Wol Euler: hello qt
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning qt
Qt Core: Hi Wol, YAku

--BELL--

Wol Euler: how is everyone today?
Qt Core: quite good, almost ahead of day plan ;-)
Yakuzza Lethecus: pretty well, have my 2nd coffee and was thinking about asking a silly question :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: do you drink espresso or coffee in the morning the two of you ?
Wol Euler: plain coffee if at home
Qt Core: never drank a cofee in my life
Wol Euler: I only drink espresso or cappucino away from home, to keep them special :)
Wol Euler: O.O
Wol Euler: never drank coffee?
Wol Euler: but you live in Italy!
Wol Euler gasps and nearly faints
Qt Core: iknow, but i never liked the smell
Wol Euler: O.O
Wol Euler: good morning, arch
Qt Core: sometimes i may eat coffee, in desserts
Qt Core: hi Arch
Archmage Atlantis: It is a koan
Wol Euler smiles.
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning arch
Archmage Atlantis: The water, that element, commanded me to come here
Wol Euler nods.
Archmage Atlantis: The earth, the sky, the water
Wol Euler: I'm glad you did.
Archmage Atlantis: And the forth element
Archmage Atlantis: The heavens
Archmage Atlantis: I must go
Wol Euler: bye arch
Wol Euler: well, that was short but sweet
Qt Core: yesterday i found myself laughing at myself while "playing" with firestorm dialogs placing
Wol Euler: the pause is coming up, shall we practice open contemplation? just breathing, being aware of what happens around (birdsong) but not responding to it, just let it wash past
Wol Euler: hello rhi
Qt Core: hi rhi
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Wol

--BELL--

Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Qt
Yakuzza Lethecus: morning rhi
Rhiannon Dragoone: morning, yaku
Wol Euler opens her eyes and smiles.
Wol Euler: does anyone have a report to give on their 90 seconds?
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi milakel!
Wol Euler: (hello mila)
Qt Core: as i was "ready" for it i appreciated more that over the pab bell i have the nearby chirch bell reminding me about it
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: for me it was like a flashback to the silent day of the Halifax retreat last month
Rhiannon Dragoone: Hi Velveta
Velveta Crumb: hello everyone :)
Qt Core: it play at each 30 min, at on sundays 15 mins before masses
Wol Euler: when I sat on the verandah for most of the morning, watching and listening
Velveta Crumb: excuse me im in a text only viewer
Wol Euler: ah, there you are :) hello vel
Rhiannon Dragoone: None of us have ever had that problem,right, Wol?
Velveta Crumb: os have no idea how i look or what my avi is doing
Qt Core: hi vel, lovely dress
Velveta Crumb: ty qt
Rhiannon Dragoone: Oh, you look grat, but you are floating above us
Wol Euler: yep
Wol Euler: vel, have you been here before?
Velveta Crumb: ah that is what i set this viewer to do - fly - to keep me out of peoples way
Velveta Crumb: ah yes
Velveta Crumb: i did come here with a friend fo mine
Velveta Crumb: is this a spirit as senses meeting?
Wol Euler: okay, so you've had the introduction and you know that we publish the session logs
Wol Euler: good :)
Velveta Crumb: dont remember the intro but dont worry i'm quick to catch up :)
Velveta Crumb: np about publishing sessions
Wol Euler: good :) ty
Velveta Crumb: yw :)
Velveta Crumb: oh and ty yakuzza for the tp
Rhiannon Dragoone: ty Yak for Vel's tp.
Velveta Crumb: so is this a sas meeting or pab?
Wol Euler: oh, I just noticed Vel's question earlier: [01:37] Call me Vel (velveta.crumb): is this a spirit as senses meeting?
Wol Euler: right :)
Velveta Crumb: ty!
Velveta Crumb: lol
Wol Euler: no, it isn't, this is Play as Being
Velveta Crumb: ah
Rhiannon Dragoone: What is that? A spirit of senses meeting?
Velveta Crumb: i'm curious about the SAS
Wol Euler: it's a meditation group
Velveta Crumb: do you have a nc on it
Wol Euler: yes indeed :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: If you do, I'd like one too, Wol
Velveta Crumb: sorry i meant on the SAS
Wol Euler: ah :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, that's what I meant too
Wol Euler: no, I don't know about that at all
Velveta Crumb: ah np
Velveta Crumb: Yak you are a member of SAS?
Yakuzza Lethecus: no i am in bleu's group
Yakuzza Lethecus: but not in real life
Yakuzza Lethecus: she's doing that, but the group is kind of inactive
Yakuzza Lethecus: somehow i was busy posting a log and didn't realize that you didn't speak of pab
Velveta Crumb: haha
Velveta Crumb: not the military thingy
Velveta Crumb: i mean SPIRIT AS SENSES
Velveta Crumb: oops
Yakuzza Lethecus: but when blue oleander is here you should really ask her about the group
Yakuzza Lethecus: she's doing that group and it's really facinating but lately it's a bit inactive

--BELL--

Velveta Crumb: sh i drr
Velveta Crumb: oops
Velveta Crumb: i mean ...ah i see
Velveta Crumb: actually i correct myself ..that should be Spirit of the senses
Velveta Crumb: i'll have to be going
Velveta Crumb: i'll look up blue
Velveta Crumb: ty anyway
Rhiannon Dragoone: Woops! There she went
Wol Euler: when I hear of people on text viewers, I always think of the first computer games
Wol Euler: "you are in a corridor, it is very dark"
Yakuzza Lethecus: sl like zork :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: lol
Wol Euler: games like interactive novels
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, it is like being blind and partially paralyed
Qt Core: or just being on a text chat
Rhiannon Dragoone: no, not entirely because subconsciously you are there, in full view of others, unable to move , see, and you're dependent on others.
Rhiannon Dragoone: So it's like being handicapped.
Wol Euler: that must be very uncomfortable
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, you get insights into the handicapped; People don't believe you ccan't do certain things; you know, the first time I was here, I was told "just click on objects until you can sit" by one guy who was getting angry that I wasn't sitting
Qt Core: i haven't tried it yet but plan to someday, i would think that the main issue would be not to disrupt others apparating in wrong places
Rhiannon Dragoone: And at another sim, the owner was upset that I wasn't sitting and that my back was to the group
Wol Euler: wb mila
Yakuzza Lethecus: wb mila
Rhiannon Dragoone: wb, mila
milakel Resident: hi :)
milakel Resident: crashed last time :/
Wol Euler grins.
Wol Euler: "getting insights into the handicapped" is probaly a good thing.
Wol Euler: perhaps we should all try a text viewer for a day
milakel Resident: text viewer is easy. it's like irc.
Rhiannon Dragoone: I think so.
Qt Core: wondering if a always crasing one would be good too
milakel Resident: quite handy, in fact
Qt Core: *crashing
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, I have two--one is my phone and anothr is on my computer. Radigast.
Rhiannon Dragoone: Radigast allows me to do almost everything; I even went to work as a dancer with it.
Rhiannon Dragoone: So it is like being blind; the phone is like being blind and partially paralyzed
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: brb, RL calls
Wol Euler: back, time to sit again? open contemplation?

--BELL--

Yakuzza Lethecus: hello dar
Rhiannon Dragoone: Hi Dar
Dar Innis: hi
Wol Euler: hello dar
Yakuzza Lethecus: i just had an example that i should only do ONE thing at a time :)
Qt Core: hi Dar
Wol Euler grins.
Yakuzza Lethecus: i totally messed up an IM and confused myself
Dar Innis: hi
Wol Euler: care to say more, yaku?
Wol Euler: apparently not :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: well, the guest before didn't even look for this place, i wasn't reading the IM well and somehow i thought the person IMed me about THIS group and not the other
Yakuzza Lethecus: so i said we have a meeting even right now
Yakuzza Lethecus: so not reading fully brain filled in what i didn't read somehow and i created a lot of confusion in myself and possibly in that person
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: one might say, that is the normal state of life :) We hear a few words and assume what the rest of the sentence will be
Wol Euler: or see an image and assume what its context is
Wol Euler: it's useful and good to be reminded of that, to remember to "wake up" and look around carefully
Qt Core: time to go, bye all
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye qt
Wol Euler: bye qt, enjoy the day

--BELL--

Yakuzza Lethecus: bye dar
Dar Innis: have fun
Wol Euler: bye dar
Wol Euler: well the session seems to have come to a natural end.
Yakuzza Lethecus: well silence :)
Wol Euler: yes :)
Wol Euler: silence is good
Rhiannon Dragoone: yea, it has
Rhiannon Dragoone: And it's about time for me to log
Wol Euler nods.
Rhiannon Dragoone: So I think I'll be on my way.
Wol Euler: goodngiht, rhi, sleep well
Rhiannon Dragoone: Thanks for being the guardian, Wol
Yakuzza Lethecus: good night rhi
Rhiannon Dragoone: ty
Rhiannon Dragoone: gn, Yaku,
Wol Euler: my pleasure, rhi :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: Mila
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye everyone
Wol Euler: bye yaku, take care
Wol Euler: please feel free to remain in silence here, but I have to get ready for work
Wol Euler: bye for now
