The Guardians for this meeting were Storm Nordwind and ShinjuJin.

ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Storm
Storm Nordwind: Hello ShinjuJin

ShinjuJin Resident: how are ya doing?
Storm Nordwind: Not too bad thank you. And you?
ShinjuJin Resident: pretty well, thoughtful today
Storm Nordwind: I guess that one up on thoughtless! ;-)
ShinjuJin Resident: :P
ShinjuJin Resident: took a dear friend to the hospital, to take her dad off of life support. He seemed so small
Storm Nordwind: Ah... that is a moving occasion.
ShinjuJin Resident: dad was center of family... only one everyone talked to
Storm Nordwind: When the hub is gone, what will the spokes do?
ShinjuJin Resident: that's the question, and the thoughtfulness

ShinjuJin Resident: you know, the two daughters, and the mom... none of them can really hug
Storm Nordwind: It is a lost and precious art
ShinjuJin Resident: was like statues, and they really need to embrace one another
Storm Nordwind: Suddenly they have to find themselves. Perhaps they defined themselves previously, to themselves and others, by a relationship. Now they may need to start anew. So it can be an opportunity. At least that is to be hoped.

ShinjuJin Resident: from your lips...er, fingers
CuriousBeing Resident: hi
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Curious, good to see you again
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Vorder

Vorder Forder: do you have a topic or is it floating?
ShinjuJin Resident: no particular topic

Vorder Forder: the pool is not very deep....I think

Vorder Forder: or getting wet in a fog

--BELL--

Vorder Forder: thank you
ShinjuJin Resident: you too
Vorder Forder: how did you spend that 90 secs
Vorder Forder: ?
ShinjuJin Resident: I am seriously approaching these pauses now, clearing the space
ShinjuJin Resident: no browsing, with fingers or without :)
ShinjuJin Resident: others?
Vorder Forder: around the circel in 90 sec
Vorder Forder: I agree

CuriousBeing Resident: trying to pause simply, but many interruptions
Vorder Forder: very important interruptions
CuriousBeing Resident: can be :)
Vorder Forder: so be it
ShinjuJin Resident: I notice my mind look for something to lean on and there is a choice whether to do so

ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Agatha
CuriousBeing Resident: hi Agatha
Agatha Macbeth: Evening all
Vorder Forder: hello Agatha
Storm Nordwind: Hi Aggers
ShinjuJin Resident: How's the day Aggers?
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, 24 hours?
ShinjuJin Resident: :P
Agatha Macbeth: Or did they shorten it?
CuriousBeing Resident: seems shorter these days
Agatha Macbeth: Does to e yes
Agatha Macbeth: and me
Vorder Forder: very short on my side
ShinjuJin Resident: no rule that you have to count all 24.. can choose to have a 23 hr day and leave an hour out... or 90 seconds
ShinjuJin Resident: creative accounting
Agatha Macbeth: Which we did in October of course
CuriousBeing Resident: :)

Agatha Macbeth: Maybe time's a fluid thing
Agatha Macbeth: Shame Pema's not here
Vorder Forder: line or a circel?
ShinjuJin Resident: went to see Interstellar, which tried to grapple with the question of whether time is a thing
Agatha Macbeth: And is it?
Vorder Forder: what did you think about that film?

CuriousBeing Resident: I saw that as well, did you like it?
ShinjuJin Resident: bit of a mess but had interesting parts
CuriousBeing Resident: yes
Vorder Forder: a bit to long but good idea
Agatha Macbeth still never got round to watching Il Mare
Vorder Forder: I liked it
Storm Nordwind: I never venture to cinemas any more.
ShinjuJin Resident: Agatha, Il Mare is on youtube, at least in the US... wonder if you can see it that way
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUqzc67nda4 )  <--- LINK TO FILM
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Vorder Forder: they had a fight on the glacer that part was not doing anything for the story
Agatha Macbeth: I'll look
ShinjuJin Resident: The film felt like a bunch of different films in one
Vorder Forder: that part was filmed not far from where I live
ShinjuJin Resident: really?
Vorder Forder: fight in any form never helps not i even in a film
Agatha Macbeth: Land of fire and ice

ShinjuJin Resident: Do you watch films at home though, Storm?
Storm Nordwind: Rarely. There is little attraction for me generally. And the fuss has died down by the time they arrive free on cable.
ShinjuJin Resident: what does it take to get Storm interested in a film?
Storm Nordwind: Hmm... no idea. I would have to have nothing else to do, I guess. And there is always something else to do. :-)

ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Isn't there just
CuriousBeing Resident: lots of choices
ShinjuJin Resident: for me I want something to push me to the edge of my thinking

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Just don't fall off
Vorder Forder: you don´t have to wear a
Vorder Forder: what is the world the for thing you use jumping from a plane
Vorder Forder: paracude
Vorder Forder: a yes I think that is the word
ShinjuJin Resident: chute
Agatha Macbeth: Paracude is a good word
Vorder Forder: you don´t need that thing
ShinjuJin Resident: an experience I have only had in SL
CuriousBeing Resident: like jumping with attitude - paracude
ShinjuJin Resident: ha ha
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Storm Nordwind: Aha you mean parachute. :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Hoping for a soft landing

Vorder Forder: there is no ground
Vorder Forder: without paracute
Agatha Macbeth: There is no spoon
ShinjuJin Resident: "thought that is nowhere supported"
Agatha Macbeth: We regret that thought is no longer supported: please upgrade
Vorder Forder: no spoon needed
ShinjuJin Resident grins, exactly
Agatha Macbeth: Thought 2015 maybe?
ShinjuJin Resident: thought 3000
Agatha Macbeth: Well that's planning ahead
Agatha Macbeth: Future proof so to speak
Storm Nordwind: Oh Hal. Just make it 9000 ;-))
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
ShinjuJin Resident: aha :)
Agatha Macbeth: This is highly irregular Dave
Storm Nordwind chuckles

Vorder Forder: what do you think about that Billð
Vorder Forder: ?
Agatha Macbeth: Open the pod bay doors Hal
Vorder Forder: Bill?
Vorder Forder: don´t be shy Bill
Agatha Macbeth: Is he a Viking?
Vorder Forder: no no
Vorder Forder: Álfur
Agatha Macbeth: Oh him
ShinjuJin Resident: time, a space oddity
Vorder Forder: elf
Storm Nordwind: In Icelandic.
Vorder Forder: yes Álfur
Vorder Forder: álfur
Vorder Forder: same as elf

ShinjuJin Resident: the scenes in the film were haunting... desolate vistas. Do you feel that near where you live Vorder?
Vorder Forder: ummm I don´t have to go far for that feeling
ShinjuJin Resident: fascinating. Is it something you seek out sometimes?
Storm Nordwind does not recall ever feeling desolation. Always, it seems. life teems.
Agatha Macbeth: There's no I in teem
Vorder Forder: yes of course
CuriousBeing Resident: lol
ShinjuJin Resident: Life teems! love that

Storm Nordwind: that is profoundly true Aggers! :)
Agatha Macbeth nods
Vorder Forder: Wormhole is being used today

ShinjuJin Resident: not often :)
Agatha Macbeth: Holes are curious things
Vorder Forder: going back in time or into the fugture
Agatha Macbeth: Lots in Blackburn I hear
Storm Nordwind smiles
Storm Nordwind: Though they're rather small, Aggers ;)
Agatha Macbeth: They are indded
Agatha Macbeth: But they still had to count them all
Vorder Forder: oh
Storm Nordwind: Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
Agatha Macbeth: Yep
Vorder Forder: hehe
ShinjuJin Resident: I'd love to tell you all...
Vorder Forder: Albert Hall
Agatha Macbeth: The hole story
Vorder Forder: yes

Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how that thing on the comet's doing?

ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Korel
Korel Laloix: Osiyo

CuriousBeing Resident: hi Korel
ShinjuJin Resident: listening to the lullabye

CuriousBeing Resident: teeming with life?
Agatha Macbeth ponders comet crickets

Agatha Macbeth: Alice?
CuriousBeing Resident: her too
Agatha Macbeth: Down the wormhole
ShinjuJin Resident: alice 3000
Agatha Macbeth: Alice bot
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Korel Laloix looks up Dave Bowman

CuriousBeing Resident: Shinjujin are you enjoying your new facade?
ShinjuJin Resident: I am, would like to experience more, hope to
ShinjuJin Resident: you?
CuriousBeing Resident: yes its somewhat interesting
ShinjuJin Resident: I feel stronger, scrappy
ShinjuJin Resident: what have you noticed?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
CuriousBeing Resident: mostly just hard to follow the log
Storm Nordwind: scrappy?
Storm Nordwind: As it in spoiling for a fight?
ShinjuJin Resident: a little tougher, and not exactly spoiling for a fight but up to it
CuriousBeing Resident: I feel a bit quieter
ShinjuJin Resident: like I could handle a climb

Storm Nordwind: If you changed your avatar but kept your name, would you feel the same?
CuriousBeing Resident: no
ShinjuJin Resident:  quieter because of difference following the log?
CuriousBeing Resident: the name is the thing for me
ShinjuJin Resident: I did that a few times, and yes i agree the name is BIG
ShinjuJin Resident: and the commitment to stick with it a while
Storm Nordwind: Your name ShinjuJin, is perhaps what empowers you. That is why I asked.
CuriousBeing Resident: not sure how long I will

--BELL--

ShinjuJin Resident: may be. I quite like the name, although it wasn't what I set out for, and was a long collaborative process between SL and I to finally arrive here
Storm Nordwind: If you kept the same avatar but changed the name to Nancy Gentlefeather (or something) I wonder if you'd feel so "scrappy".
CuriousBeing Resident: should see if ScrappyBeing is available :)
Storm Nordwind chuckles
ShinjuJin Resident: ha ha ha
ShinjuJin Resident: fluffy wunderkinds
Agatha Macbeth: Erk

ShinjuJin Resident: Do you feel more curious, Curious?
CuriousBeing Resident: not really, just quieter
ShinjuJin Resident: I feel allowed to take more time now, but I am not sure if that is the change, or Storm here as co-host
ShinjuJin Resident: likely both
ShinjuJin Resident: clock slowed a little
Agatha Macbeth: Wind it up maybe?

Storm Nordwind is reminded that as co-host he should apologize in advance for his non-attendance next week, as it is Thanksgiving in the US.
ShinjuJin Resident: Oh, yes :)
ShinjuJin Resident: no worries, hope you have a wonderful holiday
Agatha Macbeth: What are you giving thanks for exactly?
ShinjuJin Resident: I am not sure of my plans yet... kids are away
ShinjuJin Resident: always something, Aggers?
ShinjuJin Resident: teeming life?
Agatha Macbeth: Who'd be a turkey

CuriousBeing Resident: general gratitude
CuriousBeing Resident: too much to enumerate
ShinjuJin Resident: indeed, but a good exercise to try
CuriousBeing Resident: yes
CuriousBeing Resident: try to do that often
Agatha Macbeth: Doesn't Canada have on in a different month?
Agatha Macbeth: one*
ShinjuJin Resident: different day, but I am not sure about month
Storm Nordwind: October 13 this year
Agatha Macbeth: Probably giving thanks for something different
Agatha Macbeth: Like snow
Storm Nordwind: (Second Monday in October.)
ShinjuJin Resident: I think I will make a point of stretching to limits with attempts to enumerate, as a practice this year
CuriousBeing Resident: nice write down actually
ShinjuJin Resident: nice idea
CuriousBeing Resident: find at least one new thing each day
CuriousBeing Resident: could be nice to do as a wiki 99 day thingy

ShinjuJin Resident: there is an exercise I do from time to time but hadn't done in a year, of "writing how your life seems at this moment" then stopping and just sitting for an hour or three, without writing or anything. Then, afterward, writing again. I can't explain why but it is always a profound experience
ShinjuJin Resident: that isn't a bad idea at all = 99
CuriousBeing Resident: will try that
Agatha Macbeth loves a 99 in the summer
ShinjuJin Resident: Was something Stim suggested years ago and I've kept it up
ShinjuJin Resident: :)

ShinjuJin Resident: time to go... chinese food getting very cold :)
CuriousBeing Resident: ok nice to see you all
ShinjuJin Resident: am thankful to see you all
Storm Nordwind smiles
Agatha Macbeth: Cute boots
Agatha Macbeth: Take care
CuriousBeing Resident: bye all
ShinjuJin Resident: take care
Agatha Macbeth: Oh your hair is different K
Korel Laloix: Yes it is.. smiles
Agatha Macbeth: I got used to the blue look
Korel Laloix: Gift from a friend... so tring it out.
Agatha Macbeth: Nice
Korel Laloix: Wish my hair could have this much body RL.
Agatha Macbeth grins
Storm Nordwind: Age and change of diet has robbed my hair of its body this year.
Korel Laloix: If I did this to my RL hair it would be arrow straight again in a couple of hours.
Agatha Macbeth: Goes well with the feathers
Korel Laloix smiles

--BELL--

Korel Laloix: Been wearing a lot more in RL recently.
Korel Laloix: Talking point at work if nothing else.
Agatha Macbeth: I can believe it
Korel Laloix: I have these holders made of silver on a beaded small pipe like this one... and with a clasp I can change the feathers whenever I want or get new ones.
Agatha Macbeth: That must look amazing
Korel Laloix: The look is not the really important part on some though... I wear the feathers from my totem when in the right mood, and some of those are not bright or interesting really.. visually at least.
Korel Laloix: Spiritually though, it can be a real lift.
Agatha Macbeth: I can believe it

Korel Laloix: So you have anything you wear or keep with you that has a spiritual presence for you?

Agatha Macbeth: That's an interesting question
Agatha Macbeth: I never really thought about it
Agatha Macbeth: Sadly I need to visit the RL toilet and do a few things...
Korel Laloix: ok.. SMILES
Korel Laloix: OK.. smiles
Agatha Macbeth: Have fun and be good
Storm Nordwind: Bye for now!
Korel Laloix: Take care.. thanks for the book reference.. I will see if I can buy it for my tablet.
Korel Laloix: ciao bella
Agatha Macbeth grins
Agatha Macbeth: Books are way better than kindle
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Stormy
Korel Laloix: Yes.. but I am cheap.
Storm Nordwind: ha - yes!
Korel Laloix: Ciao
Korel Laloix: Back to RL for ma as well.
Agatha Macbeth is old fashioned
