No room to sit here, try another spot.

stevenaia Michingana: I'm telling you these shirts may be the key to PaB and it;s funding issues
stevenaia Michingana: then we can have PaB fest in tahiti, all expenses paidfor by PaB ware
Rowan Masala laughs
Rowan Masala: we're not recording yet, are we?
stevenaia Michingana: yes...smile
stevenaia Michingana: so do you ever take time during your day to do the secs?

Neela Blaisdale: Hi Rowan and Steve
Rowan Masala: hi Neela
stevenaia Michingana: hi neela
Neela Blaisdale: Can only stay for a few minutes unfortunately, work tomorrow
stevenaia Michingana: did you find out what that building was?
Neela Blaisdale: No, I'll ask Storm sometime, he might know.
stevenaia Michingana: do you have the oppurtunity to take your 9 second moments during thr day Neela?
stevenaia Michingana: the only person I know of that has put a good label on "it" the "Nines" was adelene
Rowan Masala smiles
Rowan Masala: it is a good label
stevenaia Michingana: unless there's a shorter terms anyone else can think of
Rowan Masala: 9s
Neela Blaisdale: Sorry, phone call. Yes sometimes but not every hour
stevenaia Michingana: not many of us (yet) tonight anyone have a focused topic to bring to the table
stevenaia Michingana: hmmm, I like that
stevenaia Michingana: 9s
stevenaia Michingana: 9z
Rowan Masala laughs
Neela Blaisdale: But somehow the whole process has helped to make me more mindful in general. In other words I do try to stay in the moment much more than I used to before PaB
Rowan Masala: that's great Neela
Rowan Masala: how long have you been with PaB?
stevenaia Michingana: I noticed that it does not necessarilly give "now" to me as it puts me somewhere else
Rowan Masala: where do you think it puts you, Steven?
Neela Blaisdale: Where?
Neela Blaisdale: Somewhere around 9 weeks I think

I wonder about "Now-ness" and being present..... if you change your thinking of "the moment", it is, after all the same thing, it's "the moment".  Whether it's called  "9 second moment",  Nines, 9s, 9z, it's the next 9 seconds, whatever you call it...

stevenaia Michingana: I'm usually pretty present with the moment, so the 9s give me a new perspective on the moment
Neela Blaisdale: Interesting
Rowan Masala: what sort of perspective?
stevenaia Michingana: if that makes sence, but them I do it only now and then, like at these meetings
Neela Blaisdale: Sorry I have to go to sleep, see you soon,goodnight
stevenaia Michingana: an external perspective
stevenaia Michingana: night neela
Rowan Masala: goodnight, Neela
stevenaia Michingana: like being sees the moment
Rowan Masala nods
stevenaia Michingana: never had a quiet wednesday , glad you joined me
Rowan Masala: happy to be here
stevenaia Michingana: bye Rowan
