The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

Eos Amaterasu: Hi Storm
Storm Nordwind: Hi there
Eos Amaterasu: Haven't done the new 4X voice tour yet
Storm Nordwind smiles
Storm Nordwind: There's no voice.
Storm Nordwind: The headphones are just a gimmick
Eos Amaterasu: oh
Storm Nordwind: It's similar to the one in the Theater
Storm Nordwind: Besides, my voice is not as cute as Rianna's
Eos Amaterasu: that's the train station announcer?
Storm Nordwind: Yes. Rianna Demina from Kira Japan
Eos Amaterasu: I guess here we could take the train to Japan
Storm Nordwind: More than one person wants this train to go to the beach!

Eos Amaterasu: Would you have any "framing" for the upcoming 90 seconds?
Storm Nordwind thinks
Storm Nordwind: I was just considering the 99 days. Not sure how to tie that in
Eos Amaterasu: ah, yes, that's starting up

--BELL--

Storm Nordwind: I didn't do the last two 99 days, so I don't recall whether you were involved or not. But I see there are four people so far this time.
Eos Amaterasu: I was involved in the first two rounds
Storm Nordwind: You must have felt the first round was worthwhile enough to do the second. How do you feel about it this time?
Eos Amaterasu: I wasn't planning to do this one
Eos Amaterasu: but it was quite interesting
Storm Nordwind: Oh?
Eos Amaterasu: in a way the idea is to record or witness or touch base re some commitment to some practice
Storm Nordwind nods
Eos Amaterasu: but the commitment to check in is itself a practice, or the practice
Storm Nordwind: yes
Storm Nordwind: Like the 9 seconds
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Eos Amaterasu: although in this case there is a page of comments for each of the 99 days
Storm Nordwind nods
Eos Amaterasu: a kind of liquid page
Eos Amaterasu: a page is the zendo
Eos Amaterasu: you step in it once each day

Storm Nordwind: Did you find there was any sharing of each other's journey (if there was such a journey)? Or were the entries isolated in some way?
Eos Amaterasu: it was both.... as time went on there was more cross-talk, appreciating each others' journeys
Storm Nordwind: Interesting. I wondered.
Eos Amaterasu: some resonance
Eos Amaterasu: for example, one person was doing a lot of standing meditation
Eos Amaterasu: and that resonated with me
Eos Amaterasu: in fact would feel I was doing it with that person in some sense when I would do it
Storm Nordwind: Ah I see. Wonderful :)
Eos Amaterasu: as real a sangha as any, in a postage stamp kind of way
Storm Nordwind nods and smiles

Eos Amaterasu: Hi Eliza
Storm Nordwind: Eliza! :)
Eliza Madrigal: curious patterning tonight :) Hello
Eliza Madrigal: nice to see you both, don't let me interrupt
Storm Nordwind often sits here - or one to his right - to see who arrives
Eliza Madrigal: ah
Eos Amaterasu: we were talking about 99 days, which Storm is starting (round 3)
Storm Nordwind: And I was asking all sorts of pushy questions ;)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal: yay
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: I sometimes find myself observing something, and then realizing I don't have the 99 days page to drop it into
Eliza Madrigal nods
Storm Nordwind: Wow that's interesting. Perhaps you need a blog. Or to use your twitter account more. Although perhaps the sense of sangha would not be there.
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, it's a bit different

Eliza Madrigal: the weaving effect can be surprising
Storm Nordwind: weaving?
Eliza Madrigal: interweaving I should say

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: with each sharing and responding in some ways, there just felt to me a tangible kind of interweaving... individual vibrant strings
Storm Nordwind: As Eos said earlier: "resonance"
Eliza Madrigal: yes :)
Storm Nordwind is not sure he can offer anything that anyone else would want to resonate to! ;)
Eos Amaterasu: very different paths and framings that people have
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: which you get to know a bit more over the course of the days
Eos Amaterasu: and something held through the individuals and the reports....
Eliza Madrigal: and it does feel more sharing of 'RL' as a quality, as I think you mentioned in the theme session Eos I
Eliza Madrigal: -I*
Eos Amaterasu: reaches more into RL lives, actually
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: great minds lag alike
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
Storm Nordwind chuckles

Eliza Madrigal: there is a tshirt for Zen to make :)
Eos Amaterasu: cool!
Storm Nordwind: The new shirtmeister
Eliza Madrigal: GMLA
Eos Amaterasu: heh heh
Eos Amaterasu: I think that's a part of PaB ongoing and future direction....
Eos Amaterasu: playing with RL intersections
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Ewan
Eliza Madrigal: sure would like that
Storm Nordwind is guessing Eos does not mean Tshirts
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Ewan :)
Storm Nordwind: Hi :)
Eliza Madrigal would love to have a RL t-shirt :D
Eos Amaterasu: Tshirts are good!
Ewan Bonham: hI fOLKS..
Eos Amaterasu: Pema certainly thinks so :-)
Eliza Madrigal: no doubt
Eos Amaterasu: we have to go back to San Francisco to get some Church of John Coltrain tshirts
Eos Amaterasu: Coltrane
Storm Nordwind: I haven't taken this off since Zen gave it to me, but then I'm too lazy to notice what I'm wearing (SL as RL) ;)
Eliza Madrigal: color suits you Storm
Storm Nordwind: The red?
Eliza Madrigal: yes

Storm Nordwind: Thanks... yes i think you're right
Storm Nordwind looks at his typist and sees... red :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Eliza Madrigal: re Coltraine, I was learning about something called 'vamping' recently... in Jazz...or Jass...
Eos Amaterasu listens
Storm Nordwind: improvizing?
Eos Amaterasu waits for Eliza to vamp
Eliza Madrigal: yes I guess it is... but new to me the way described...
Storm Nordwind: Oh please describe :)
Eliza Madrigal: the sense of layers of conversation in a jazz ensemble... familiar loops...
Eliza Madrigal: often given to the audience to satisfy the need for popular songs
Eliza Madrigal: but lots of room for the players...
Eliza Madrigal: so that both are happy
Eos Amaterasu: like voguing?
Eliza Madrigal: not sure :)
Storm Nordwind: pegs they can hang the new clothes they're creating moment to moment
Eliza Madrigal: yes!
Eliza Madrigal: and so the collaboration could go any number of places , because it is understood that listeners fill in so much

--BELL--

Storm Nordwind: All you need is a little trust and confidence (and some skill no doubt too!)
Eliza Madrigal: oh definitely
Eos Amaterasu: If you listen you may be impelled to respond
Storm Nordwind: And each musician must listen to the others while they play. Which sounds an odd thing to say, but consider how rare it is for someone to listen while they are speaking. :)
Eliza Madrigal: somehow I imposed the word heart when I read your lines at first :)
Eliza Madrigal: listen to the heart of the others
Storm Nordwind: How lovely! And of course you're right :)
Eos Amaterasu: feel their wind
Storm Nordwind: Listening to the heart of others is hard for some, but perhaps they can listen to how their own heart responds in the presence of others. :)
Eos Amaterasu: we are but mirror neurons :-)
Eliza Madrigal: trust to slow down or let go into it what presents somehow
Eliza Madrigal: the camaraderie and mutual respect is certainly part of what makes way for that ... magic in the middle, as described.. thought so much about we here :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Stevie
stevenaia Michinaga: wave
Eos Amaterasu: btw (for later listening): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dG2FK3_NfQ (thanks to Adams)
stevenaia Michinaga: s
Eliza Madrigal: ty, clicks and saves
stevenaia Michinaga: thx
Eliza Madrigal: also what is nice is the sense of 'experts' and 'novices' playing completely together
Eliza Madrigal: room for each at own groove level so to speak
Storm Nordwind: That was the Kira Cafe intent, modeled on Cafe Scientifique and doubtless others before it
Eos Amaterasu: I suppose that also happens when the audience participates, such as through dancing
Eliza Madrigal: oh, yes, same curious spirit
Eliza Madrigal: and jumping in (re dancing) :)
Eliza Madrigal: wherever you are ... jumping in fully there
Eos Amaterasu: maybe 99 days has some of that flavor too
Eos Amaterasu: every day there's a "single" (45 rpm, just a few minutes long)
Eos Amaterasu: (that really dates me :-)
Storm Nordwind is definitely the novice with 99 days, but is jumping in anyway!
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
Ewan Bonham: Thank yopu all..
Eliza Madrigal: fitting analogy actually
Eos Amaterasu: Ciao, Ewan
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks Ewan, nice to see you
Storm Nordwind waves
stevenaia Michinaga: lovely video
Storm Nordwind nods respectfully but enthusiastically
Eos Amaterasu: very striking (the whole movie is available on utube)

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: :) Thanks so much
Eos Amaterasu: also must midnight poof!
Eos Amaterasu: thanks and bye, all!
Storm Nordwind: Bye friends!
stevenaia Michinaga: night eliza, Storm, Eos
Eliza Madrigal: Night Friends
Eliza Madrigal: :)
