    Adams Rubble: Lovely spring morning here

    Eos Amaterasu: yes, here also the leaves are popping their buds, and weather alternates showers and blue skies

    Bleu Oleander: ty Eos :)
    Bleu Oleander: hi Xiri
    Adams Rubble: yes, it is a nice pavilion
    Bleu Oleander: thx!
    Eos Amaterasu: it has a bit of a neutral or plain earth quality which allows colors of avs and topics :-)
    Xirana Oximoxi: hello Adams, Bleu, Eos :)
    Eos Amaterasu: hi Xirana!
    Adams Rubble: I also like the set down seating
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Adams Rubble: I like the pillars too. they are a bit reminiscent of Stonehenge
    Bleu Oleander: that's a fun connection
    Eos Amaterasu: and the snowglobe cover up above
    Bleu Oleander: does have a snowglobe quality :)
    Bleu Oleander: reminiscent of play :)
    Adams Rubble: does anyone have anything they would like to discuss with us?
    --BELL--
    Eos Amaterasu: I like that pairing: be silent in mindfulness, and then, continue being mindful, presumably in noise and action and talk....
    Bleu Oleander: yes a nice suggestion
    Eos Amaterasu: I don't know if mindful is the complete word: be alert and curious and sparkly
    Adams Rubble: sparkly?
    Bleu Oleander: sparkly ... fun :)
    Eos Amaterasu: dots of delight at little syzygys
    Xirana Oximoxi: I was thinking about the importance to be silent and comfortable sharing the silence with otheres...which does not happen always... but, maybe in SL the feeling is a bit different
    Bleu Oleander: comfort in silence with others ... nice
    Eos Amaterasu: hmm.... a while back I went to a classical piano concert, and was struck with how the audience was silent throughout, paying attention....a rare occasion for group silence
    Eos Amaterasu: here there is short group silence with nothing on stage :-)
    Eos Amaterasu: (except ourselves)
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Bleu Oleander: reminds me of the Cage piece 4'17 I think it was called?
    Bleu Oleander: the silence was the piece
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Bleu Oleander: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3
    Bleu Oleander: 4'33"
    Eos Amaterasu: Cage's most important work, he felt
    Eos Amaterasu: very similar to the 9 seconds or 90 seconds
    Bleu Oleander: yes was thinking that
    Adams Rubble: <cough>
    Eos Amaterasu: need to get the MP3 of that piece :-)
    Adams Rubble: hehe
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes, I did not know this work, but it remeinds me the 90 seconds :)
    Eos Amaterasu: Adams gets royalties for his <cough>
    Xirana Oximoxi: :)
    Bleu Oleander: there is a youtube of it I think :)
    Eos Amaterasu: somehow get the image of large eggs on NYC streetcorners where people can dip into for 9 seconds at a time...
    Bleu Oleander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEFKFiXSx4
    Adams Rubble: courtyards used to do that function
    Adams Rubble: courtyard gardens
    Adams Rubble: right off a busy street into silence
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Eos Amaterasu: hmm, nice
    --BELL--
    Eos Amaterasu: this pavilion is such a courtyard
    Xirana Oximoxi: I was watching/listening to the performance of the 4,33...and they are amazingly silent :) sometimes during concerts people can not stop to cough and make noise ...
    Eos Amaterasu: interesting that the piece does highlight the silence through its formality, staging (around musicians (not) performing)... it has a boundary
    Eos Amaterasu: makes the silence more visible
    Bleu Oleander: I did a Molecule theater piece based on Cages piece ... the theater was fun!
    Bleu Oleander: 3'33" ... I called it :)
    Bleu Oleander: was interesting to sit that long as an avatar :)
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes...it makes us be aware of the silence...I guess a lof of people are staying still in tension...I would have liked to watch the public ..they are supposed to be the performers :)
    Xirana Oximoxi: I missed it, Bleu :)
    Bleu Oleander: we'll have to do more theater ... was fun although time consuming ...
    Bleu Oleander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUX2zH2AH90
    Xirana Oximoxi: I think I went to the opening of the Molecule :)..with different actors performing :) Nice Bleu! :)
    Bleu Oleander: fun remembrance of our theater experience :)
    Eos Amaterasu: very nice!
    Adams Rubble: nice video
    Bleu Oleander: thx :)
    Xirana Oximoxi: I agree that to prepare it takes a lot of time...but it was very nice
    Bleu Oleander: each piece was creative and so different from the others ... was great to see that creative energy!
    Bleu Oleander waves to Storm ... thanks for all the work you did to enable that to happen :)
    Xirana Oximoxi: Yes:) he did a great work to make it possible! :)
