The Guardian for this meeting was Wol.

--BELL--
Wol Euler: <3
Wol Euler: heart poofer
Visitor: PuRrrRrrRrr
Wol Euler: hello Visitor 2
Visitor: Hello Visitor
Visitor xu Resident: Hi Wol and Visitor 2
Wol Euler: how's SL treating you so far?
Visitor 2: Anyway, I have to head off. Need to go buy some stuff for the weekend.
Wol Euler: okay, take care <3
Wol Euler: <3
Visitor xu Resident: Good. I knew this community several months ago. But that time there seemed to be no activities.

--BELL--

Wol Euler waits patiently and curiously for you to finish typing :)
Wol Euler: well there aren't many activities *here* apart from meditation sessions, which are listed on the board at the bottom of the stairs
Wol Euler: the group does host activities in other places, at the theatre for example
Wol Euler wonders whether you are accidentally typing in the wrong window ...

Visitor xu Resident: Recently I'm re-reading Exploring the Magic of Time. So I re-visited wiki.playasbeing.org and found there are more activities recently. For example, you are reading Maxine's book The Wisdom of Lived Experience:
Wol Euler: ah

Wol Euler: yes I'm not following that because of work-time conflicts. RL Timezones are a pain :(
Wol Euler: if you have read/are reading the book, you'd be welcome to attend
Visitor xu Resident: Sorry to hear that. What's your timezone? I don't have plan to join the group-reading right now. Maybe I will in the future.
Wol Euler: CET, it's 10:30am
Visitor xu Resident: I see. It's 17:38 (GMT+8) here. Maybe there's also timezone conflict for me.
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: try it and see :)

Visitor xu Resident: You just mentioned meditation sessions. Is it online? How is it like? I practice meditation daily but alone.
Wol Euler: lifestyle plays a role too :)
Wol Euler: in theory the daily meetings here are for meditation and discussion, but there tends to be far more talk than meditation at most of them
Wol Euler: if you join the Friends of PaB group you will receive notifications of upcoming events
Wol Euler: may I invite you?
Visitor xu Resident: Yes, please.
Wol Euler: that's odd, I cannot invite ...
Wol Euler: but it is in my profile
Wol Euler: rightclick on me, choose "profile" from the menu
Wol Euler: and find it in the list of groups
Visitor xu Resident: OK. I'll try. Thank you!

--BELL--

Visitor xu Resident: Maybe there's something wrong with the network. It's a blank window after clicking on the profile. I'll try next time.
Wol Euler: well, note the name :)
Visitor xu Resident: Thank you!
Visitor xu Resident: Have long have you been practicing meditation?
Wol Euler: before second life :) I started maybe ten years ago
Wol Euler: it's more intense some years than others
Visitor xu Resident: Wow, you have a much longer history than me.
Wol Euler smiles.
Visitor xu Resident: how intense? 30-day or 60-day retreat? haha
Wol Euler: no nothing like that, alas
Wol Euler: I would love a three-week retreat
Wol Euler: but life gets in the way
Wol Euler: I'Ve been on a few one-week retreats
Wol Euler: with this group
Wol Euler: htey are wonderful

Visitor xu Resident: I see. I haven't decided which career I should pursue next. But it would be nice if I have a month holiday every year.
Wol Euler: a nice ambition!
Wol Euler: teaching comes closest to that, or politics
Wol Euler: politicians get a lot of time off
Visitor xu Resident: Thank you :) Being a teacher is a good choice.
Wol Euler smiles.
