Adams Rubble: Very sad about Zen. he had a rough time
Adams Rubble: He contribited much to our little community
Riddle Sideways: Yes!!
Riddle Sideways: have blurry early memories of Zen
Adams Rubble: he was active in the Original Face group
Adams Rubble: and the artist community
Riddle Sideways: tried searching the wiki, but it is hard to search by reverse date

Adams Rubble: for an obituary?
Riddle Sideways: would like to read the obit
Riddle Sideways: to know some more of RL history and life
Adams Rubble: all Americans on my search
Riddle Sideways: John Taylor is a very common name
Adams Rubble: yes!
Riddle Sideways: (should Redact the Name)
Adams Rubble: He lived near a Norman Castle
Riddle Sideways: Blurry memories of Zen attending PaB in a wheel chair the first few times
Riddle Sideways: then most of the rest of us got wheel chairs to join him
Adams Rubble: Carrickfergus Castle
Riddle Sideways: thanks
Adams Rubble: I have been dabbling in dzogchen

Riddle Sideways: Thinking then (but might have made it up) that Zen stated he could walk in SL, but we should try wheeling for a while
Adams Rubble: wishing I had known more about accumulating stuff during the day
Riddle Sideways: SL has not many issues with abilities
Adams Rubble: nice, I did not know anything about that
Adams Rubble: everyone is sort of equal here
Riddle Sideways: was trying to fact check, but maybe don't want to know
Adams Rubble: it is a nice thing about SL
Riddle Sideways: yes, we can All Fly
Adams Rubble: equality, that is
Riddle Sideways: in some places
    --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Ah,
Riddle Sideways: *HA!
Riddle Sideways: fly me to the moon
Riddle Sideways: nice wings

Riddle Sideways: couple years later, hung out in a special abilities sim
Adams Rubble: what was that like?
Riddle Sideways: yet another of those long experiments done in SL-PaB
Adams Rubble: there have been some good experiments in SL
Riddle Sideways: state any "What-If" and find a sim that helps experience it

Riddle Sideways: Zen and Eliza started up the Dream sessions again. And did a really good job at it
Riddle Sideways: more about lucid dreaming and trying to do lucid
Riddle Sideways: how to get there
Riddle Sideways: never was able to do the dream sessions (middle of the day) in those old days
Riddle Sideways: was good to finally attend
Riddle Sideways: Zen got us journaling
Riddle Sideways: and still do every morning
Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: Then there were the voice sessions
Riddle Sideways: Zen's accent was so comforting
Riddle Sideways: with the addition of Eden and Xirana voice, it was pleasant to not talk, just listen ㋡
Adams Rubble: there has been so much for us in PaB
Riddle Sideways: Yes
Riddle Sideways: so much Play under the Being bridge
Riddle Sideways: funny to hear an American voice be so harsh next to some foreign smooth talkers
Adams Rubble: harsh is in the ear of listener :)
Riddle Sideways: of course

Riddle Sideways: nice. we usually chat of 'seeing'
Riddle Sideways: nice to talk of listening
Riddle Sideways: and the different attitudes
    --BELL--

Adams Rubble: another one of the 18 dhatu
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble throws in some Abhidharma
Riddle Sideways: check off another box :))

Adams Rubble: good to remember that all of our senses are subjective
Riddle Sideways: Zen was an example
Riddle Sideways: can read the words of people from all over history
Riddle Sideways: however, PaB gave us the chance to meet and chat with people from all over
Riddle Sideways: and their view points, attitudes
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: a friend in Ireland
Adams Rubble: Northern Oreland-Belfast

Adams Rubble: Storm was in Scotland when we first met hime
Riddle Sideways: ah
Riddle Sideways: oh! should call Storm
Riddle Sideways: prolly not have time to visit in Denver

Riddle Sideways: child being awaken now
Riddle Sideways: slept badly so over slept
Adams Rubble: do you need to go?

Riddle Sideways: How did he do that transforming thang
Adams Rubble: patience
Riddle Sideways: and the non-dualistic railroad
Adams Rubble: spent hours at the job
Riddle Sideways: one (at first) could stand on the track and derail a train ㋡
Adams Rubble: uh oh
Riddle Sideways: Storm fixed that
Adams Rubble: where others might have fled
Riddle Sideways: /raises hand. would have fled

Riddle Sideways: ok, should go start this day properly.
