florianix Resident: it was the mature way of discussion
Xirana Oximoxi: steve...I think you are the one that may have more stories about Pab :)

stevenaia Michinaga: Kira
florianix Resident: ok
stevenaia Michinaga: we are under their umbella
florianix Resident: ok
stevenaia Michinaga: quite a bit of structure under the hood
florianix Resident: yeah
Xirana Oximoxi: but the activitties of Kira are somehow separated of the ones of PaB...if I am not wrong
florianix Resident: ok
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Xirana Oximoxi: well....I think one should speak japanese anyway :)
florianix Resident: ok
Xirana Oximoxi: to participate, I mean :)
florianix Resident: i like the asian buildings around here
florianix Resident: and the museum of religious art
florianix Resident: or sacred art
florianix Resident: and the balloon
Xirana Oximoxi: me too:) they are build in a special way....very in concordance with the relaxed ambience
florianix Resident: yeah
florianix Resident: it gives me ZEN feeling
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: Some board members of Kira are also particpants in PaB
Xirana Oximoxi: yes:)
florianix Resident: ok San
florianix Resident: how do you like it here ?
Xirana Oximoxi: in what sense, florian?
--BELL--
florianix Resident: like it as a place for dicussion
stevenaia Michinaga: I view PaB as good food, you can keep eating it and you always come back for more
Xirana Oximoxi: for me it is more than a place for discussion.... we can share interests and know and talk with people of around the world
Santoshima Resident: sorry was away making tea
Santoshima Resident: how i like it here?
stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes you can just listen
Xirana Oximoxi: and slowly you know people and the people become friends :)
Xirana Oximoxi: listening is fantstic:)
Santoshima Resident: to me it's a place of reflection
Santoshima Resident: and discovery
Santoshima Resident: and a means of creative expression
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, much of what I learn here is about myself by listening to others
Santoshima Resident: and way to connect with others and self
Xirana Oximoxi: even when we talk about daily matters...the only fact of talking about it gives new perspectives and appretitions
florianix Resident: yeah
Xirana Oximoxi: appretiation
Xirana Oximoxi: (not sure if this word is correct )
florianix Resident: appreciation
Xirana Oximoxi: thank you:)
florianix Resident: yw
Xirana Oximoxi: ahh and I have improved my English at the same time:)
Santoshima Resident: :)
Xirana Oximoxi: I am sure that if I compare my firsts chats I can express a little better now
stevenaia Michinaga: I think that is one of the by products of how we talk about things, language and expression get more refined over time
florianix Resident: yeah
Xirana Oximoxi: yes:)
florianix Resident: and i like the sound of the birds and the water fountain
florianix Resident: too
Santoshima Resident: me too
Xirana Oximoxi: sometimes I don't know if the birds are here or 'here' :)
stevenaia Michinaga: if someone told me 5 years ago I would be talking about the nature of reality for 5 years, I think I would have thought one of us was crazy, now I know it;s both of us :)
florianix Resident: same to me
Xirana Oximoxi: hehe :))
stevenaia Michinaga: it;s like expression of art, the longer you use the tool or brush or pencil, the more skill you develope
florianix Resident: yeah
stevenaia Michinaga: like with any sort of meditation
florianix Resident: and as french cheese
Xirana Oximoxi: yes....good comparation
florianix Resident: you have to learn to appreciate it
Xirana Oximoxi: or playing any musical instrument too
florianix Resident: sure
Xirana Oximoxi: a lot of training
stevenaia Michinaga: like Renoir or Cézanne, same brush and paint, totally different skill and expression
stevenaia Michinaga: all good
florianix Resident: But the graphical environment is superb
florianix Resident: I never would believe I would be as an avatar in such a nice surroundings
Xirana Oximoxi: yes... we all bring our brushes here to paint the nature of reality... specially the 'inside' face of it
florianix Resident: yeah
florianix Resident: it is a nice combination
florianix Resident: of multi functional art
