The Guardian for this meeting was Yakuzza Lethecus. The comments are by Yakuzza Lethecus.

Yakuzza Lethecus: hello mari
Yakuzza Lethecus: have you been here before ?
Beautifulmarira Resident: hello there :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: i see you wear the grouptag
Beautifulmarira Resident: yes once already
Yakuzza Lethecus: ah, great so you know about the logging and alike :)
Beautifulmarira Resident: yes :-)
Yakuzza Lethecus: and about the 9seconds
Beautifulmarira Resident: yes though that wasn't explained well I think or maybe I'm confused about it
--BELL--
Yakuzza Lethecus: well, it´s one of the few formal elements we have i think
Yakuzza Lethecus: how you do the 9 seconds however is entirely up to you, only doing so is the formal part but even that i don´t do often
Beautifulmarira Resident: ak ok
Beautifulmarira Resident: ah
Yakuzza Lethecus: i have some guardians i usually prefer to read about that :), i can´t explain this myself very well
Yakuzza Lethecus: did you find our wiki ?
Beautifulmarira Resident: yes and it's very confusing :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: ha! it´s just a lot over the years but it´s nothing you would need to be here for 4 years :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: especially when pema pera, eos , eliza and some more are explaining it´s better, i have the ultimate beginnersmind :P
Beautifulmarira Resident: I am a beginner too
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey rosatta
Rosatta Resident: Hi, Yaku : )
Beautifulmarira Resident: hello Rosatta
Rosatta Resident: Hi, Mari : )

Wol Euler: ty
Rosatta Resident: Ty for catching me up : )
Rosatta Resident: Hello, darling Wol : )
Beautifulmarira Resident: hello Wol
Rosatta Resident: I put it on, but I'm not seeing what it is supposed to be
Rosatta Resident: Hi, Qt Core : )
Qt Core: hi all
Wol Euler: the onigokko? it's invisible
Wol Euler: but it works
Wol Euler: when somebody says the magic word, which is
Wol Euler: onigokko
Beautifulmarira Resident: oh
Wol Euler: hello eliza, just in time :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey eliza
Rosatta Resident: rofl!!!!!!
Wol Euler: this carries on until somebody says
Wol Euler: stop
Beautifulmarira Resident: oh wow
Wol Euler: the record is 63 minutes :)
Wol Euler grins.
Rosatta Resident: That is definitely playing :-D
Wol Euler: Friday 1pm is traditionally a silly session
Rosatta Resident: Hi, Elize - we haven't all gone made, honestly!
Eliza Madrigal: Oh darn... I'll come back then...
Wol Euler: :)
Beautifulmarira Resident: Hi Eliza
Rosatta Resident: lol
Wol Euler: eh, just sit a spell and wait, it won't take long
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Mari, everyone :))
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey qt
Eliza Madrigal: finally see the cushion ^^
Yakuzza Lethecus: good evening aga
--BELL--
Beautifulmarira Resident: So Yaku said that Eliza could explain these 90 sec breaks better than he could. What is that all about?
Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
Wol Euler listens.
Eliza Madrigal: aw... not true
Eliza Madrigal: I love to hear yaku elaborate when he does :)
Agatha Macbeth: Nabend Yak, evening all
Wol Euler: hello aggers
Eliza Madrigal: :) Hi Aggers
Yakuzza Lethecus: well, i just mentioned that for a newbie it would be better to not let me explain and i have a few examples of whom i would recommend to read upon
Agatha Macbeth waves to Liz
Yakuzza Lethecus: and i said pema, eos, eliza ... :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) it is one of my favorite things... to read in the sessions when people describe the group in different - so many ways
Wol Euler smiles.
Eliza Madrigal: but re the 90 seconds basically it is a clearing... a moment to "drop what we have (roles we carry etc) to see what we are" ...rest, reflect
Eliza Madrigal: sometimes it is a freshen-up to the topic we are discussing
Eliza Madrigal: but I guess there are a lot of ways to see it.... like a time tax
Wol Euler: they ca also be useful in slowing down the conversation, giving people a chance to cool off and reconsider
Eliza Madrigal nods
Beautifulmarira Resident: mmmm k I see
Wol Euler: basically, and officially, it's a mini-meditation
Eliza Madrigal: the beginning/basis to PaB was the suggestion to do a 9 second practice throughout life
Wol Euler: a minute and a half of mindfullness
Rosatta Resident: I've noticed that the 90 allow time to reflect and actually keep discussions more productive most of the time
Wol Euler listens to Eliza
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: one of the little ways in which we are *not* a typical philosophy group
Wol Euler: another being that we don't think conversation is a contact sport
Wol Euler: and that truth is not a blunt weapon
Agatha Macbeth: Are we a philosophy group at all?
Agatha Macbeth: Oops lost Liz
Wol Euler shrugs
Rosatta Resident: I experince PaB as a group that shares experiences and thoughts and insights and that allows us all to, as we take what we can use and leave the others respectufully, to move forward
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: that sounds about right, rosatta
Agatha Macbeth: That sounds about right yes
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Agatha Macbeth: (again)
Beautifulmarira Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: WB Liz
Yakuzza Lethecus: wb eliza
Wol Euler: wb
Beautifulmarira Resident: wb :)
Rosatta Resident: I have to ask, Wol what is the suit you are wearing?
Agatha Macbeth: The grey lady returns
Agatha Macbeth: I would say that is a Graves outfit, yes?
Rosatta Resident: Graves?
Eliza Madrigal brushes off
Wol Euler: it is indeeed graves,. well spottted
Agatha Macbeth: Mm, I'll look out the LM for you
Wol Euler: "paradox"
Agatha Macbeth: There ya go
Agatha Macbeth: Nice place, bit too futuristic for me tho
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen :)
Qt Core: hi Zen
Wol Euler: hello zen
Rosatta Resident: Ty I was wondering if it was designed for specific rp - or was futuristic
Zen Arado: Hi All
Agatha Macbeth: Yay Zenny
Yakuzza Lethecus: good evening zen
--BELL--
Rosatta Resident: It is very similar to clothing described in old science fiction
Agatha Macbeth: The philosphical DJ
Agatha Macbeth: :(
Wol Euler: retro-futuristic :)
Zen Arado: with short back and sides
Rosatta Resident: lol
Agatha Macbeth: Ah right - haircut
Wol Euler: indeed, quite a change
Zen Arado: an old idiom
Agatha Macbeth: Must be, I remember it
Zen Arado: Hi Eos
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey eos
Wol Euler: hello eos, happy friday
Beautifulmarira Resident: Hello Eos
Agatha Macbeth: Hello E, nice to see you
Eos Amaterasu: Hi gathering beings :-)
Zen Arado: a gathering
Zen Arado: funny word
Agatha Macbeth: Gathering storm
Zen Arado: shall we gather at the river
Agatha Macbeth: Or the fountain
Zen Arado: pab baptisms
Agatha Macbeth waits for John to appear
Zen Arado: wonders if Baptists do that with avatars in SL
Agatha Macbeth: Dunno any
Zen Arado: me neither
Wol Euler: SL baptism is an intriguing idea, given that everything else exists that probably does too
Agatha Macbeth nods
Zen Arado: there are churches in SL
Eos Amaterasu: pool and fountain conveniently located
Wol Euler nods.
Zen Arado: Kori goes to one
Rosatta Resident: They don't celebrate mass, though. They told me it is too sacred to do in SL
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, so I do know one then
Zen Arado: ah ..mmm
Zen Arado: or Holy Communion too I bet
Zen Arado: but ..hmm
Rosatta Resident: Probably
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, I find 6 groups with Baptist in their name in search
Zen Arado: wonders about sacredness and SL
Rosatta Resident: Checking out sacred sims in sl I found one that plays Coptic chant. That was very beautiful - at least I liked it
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh
Beautifulmarira Resident: interesting
Agatha Macbeth: That sounds good
Rosatta Resident: I had never heard it before
Wol Euler: say more, zen?
Rosatta Resident: It's not Middle Eastern and its not Gregorian
Rosatta Resident: But similar to both
Zen Arado: well why couldn't SL have sacred ceremonies too?
Rosatta Resident: I wondered about that , too, Zen
Zen Arado: I mean..we meditate here
Agatha Macbeth: PaB birthday party was pretty close :p
Rosatta Resident: The druids in Faery Crossing do
Eos Amaterasu: for me this is a sacred space
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Eos Amaterasu: not solemn :-)
Eos Amaterasu: scary sacred
Rosatta Resident: safe sacred
Zen Arado: acred onigokko ceremony
Zen Arado: :)
Rosatta Resident: I am grateful for everyone who comes ehre with that attitude, too. The tolerance and patience and desire to just explore and not control is like fresh air
Wol Euler smiles.
Eos Amaterasu wonders if the 90 seconds zone is safe, scary, sacred, all or some of those...
Yakuzza Lethecus: onigokko
Agatha Macbeth: Erk
Agatha Macbeth: Must be friday
Yakuzza Lethecus: stop
Eos Amaterasu just observed a strange native ritual
Rosatta Resident: That is the "Remember to play" sacred ceremony lol
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: By the strange natives
Eos Amaterasu wonders what deeply misguided books will be written by PaB anthropologists....
Wol Euler: personally I think that anything that is approached in a spirit of reverence is sacred
Rosatta Resident: Yes
Zen Arado: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Wol Euler chuckles.
Agatha Macbeth: Carried unanimously
Rosatta Resident: And Wol saying these things delights me, so I am now going to call her Darling Wol from now on
Eos Amaterasu: so say we all
Wol Euler: awwwww
Wol Euler smiles modestly.
Zen Arado: it's a kind of mindfulness isn't it?
Rosatta Resident: Yes, ty, Zen for that thought
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: She is darling Wol
Zen Arado: like in a Zen tea ceremony
Rosatta Resident: Yes : )
Yakuzza Lethecus: wb crashy eliza

Zen Arado: and mindfully

Eos Amaterasu: there's method in his mindfulness
Rosatta Resident: Even strang cerimonies that have avatars dashing madly about lol
Zen Arado: wb Eliza :)
Agatha Macbeth: Is it stormy in Florida?
--BELL--
Zen Arado: stormy weather
Eos Amaterasu: wow - that's such an unusual thing to do, to share silence with 10 people from all over
Eos Amaterasu is awestruck
Agatha Macbeth: That's us all over
Wol Euler nods.
Eliza Madrigal: no storms... just a disrupted service in the neighborhood blipping since yesterday
Eliza Madrigal: and yes it is :))
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Eos Amaterasu: hi Eliza
Eliza Madrigal waves
Zen Arado: don't know why
Zen Arado: there's no stars up in the sky
Agatha Macbeth: Cos it's daylight?
Zen Arado: :)
Eos Amaterasu: that would be terrifying
Eliza Madrigal: preparing us for dancing :)
Rosatta Resident: I loved what Eliza did with putting the pavilion in a forest Monday
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, Sun day
Wol Euler: yes, I enjoy those too
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Eliza Madrigal: Bleu created several scenes like that... does feel to set a warm tone and a feeling of cushioning
