--BELL--
Eos Amaterasu: HI Storm, nice landing
Eos Amaterasu: !
Storm Nordwind: Courtesy of a lot of lag
Eos Amaterasu: I might have experienced mega lag earlier -
Storm Nordwind: Very bad for me today
Eos Amaterasu: went to Kira Cafe for 3 pm Dream workshop, but nothing there !
Eos Amaterasu: I mean, the Cafe was there :-)
Storm Nordwind calculates the timezones
Eos Amaterasu: 3 pm SLT
Storm Nordwind: IIRC there were 8 or so people there today
Storm Nordwind: But I think it's at 1pm
Eos Amaterasu: (what is this, the NSA? :-)
Eos Amaterasu: Ah, that's what it used to be (and why I was not able to catch it then)
Storm Nordwind: It was coincident with my guardian slot
Storm Nordwind: Anyways... I saw you alone and decided to disturb your peace for a short while ;)
Eos Amaterasu: Yes... I was finding I don't mind at all being alone here - it actually does not happen that often
Storm Nordwind makes as if to go
Eos Amaterasu: One thing I've been noting is the continuity of 90 secs in SL and RL, when it happens
Storm Nordwind: oh?
Eos Amaterasu: "doing it" in SL and "doing it" in RL
Eos Amaterasu: (and on the road, as well :-)
Eos Amaterasu: so it's happening at the same time in two worlds
--BELL--
Storm Nordwind is going to reboot his comms system and will return shortly
Eos Amaterasu: sl practice is rl practice when you sense the people behind the avatars
Eos Amaterasu: and rl practice is sl practice when you sense the avatars behind the people
Eos Amaterasu: then you see that both come from Being
Eos Amaterasu: both boths
Eos Amaterasu: wb
Eos Amaterasu: heh heh
Storm Nordwind: Thank you!
Storm Nordwind: Seems to have made the lag better
Eos Amaterasu: Just thinking of how meeting you and other AVs here in RL has affected my sense of PaB
Eos Amaterasu: "here in RL" :-)
Storm Nordwind: It's very strange... I guess I have always seen very little difference between the two, SL and RL
Eos Amaterasu: I think we really are pioneering something here
Storm Nordwind: That's for sure!
Eos Amaterasu: the play between the two as being a "graceful instrument"
Storm Nordwind: A lovely description :)
Eos Amaterasu: ( a stolen phrase, actually )
Storm Nordwind does not recant his comment ;)
Eos Amaterasu: We don't face Mecca, we face each other
Eos Amaterasu: HI Andrea
Storm Nordwind waves
Anndrea McGinnis: Hello
Storm Nordwind: Now that's a profound comment Eos, even when taken out of your intended context
Eos Amaterasu: How has post Princeton been for you, Storm?
Storm Nordwind: Well... Sunday was largely spent recovering as I had so little sleep while there. Then I overdid it yesterday. So today the same as Sunday! But those are just physical things...
Storm Nordwind: I do feel as though something has "happened"
Storm Nordwind: Can't quite put my finger on what
Storm Nordwind: So much shared at such a deep level
Storm Nordwind: Very personal and yet...
Storm Nordwind struggles to find anything other than a hippy phrase
--BELL--
Storm Nordwind: Oh well...
Storm Nordwind: "cosmic
Storm Nordwind: "
Eos Amaterasu: Sometimes cosmic is the true word
Storm Nordwind: Yes. I suspect so
Eos Amaterasu: as in this case
Eos Amaterasu: We are all on journeys, for sure
Eos Amaterasu: and intersecting briefly
Eos Amaterasu: but also the big space of journey is shared
Storm Nordwind: And through it all, I seem to see, somehow, PaB developing and maturing, becoming actually confident of itself almost
Eos Amaterasu: bigger by far than us
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, keep discovering way more than I had thought could be
Storm Nordwind agrees
Eos Amaterasu is thinking about the co-presence during 9 secs around the world iPhone, Android app....
Storm Nordwind smiles
Eos Amaterasu: Another way to play the Art of Being
Eos Amaterasu: Reading Eden's comment at the bottom at http://playasbeing.wik.is/Chat_Logs/2010/03/2010.03.21_08%3a00_-_Gathering_at_the_Village
Eos Amaterasu: actually H's are hard for her: it was really Heart of Being :-)
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Storm Nordwind: I need to read that one
Storm Nordwind: I'm finding PaB is more of an adventure than I'd dreamed. Once again I'm struck with a sense of wonder. Like this evening, in RL, looking out for the first time ever on a purple blizzard!! Awestruck. Like a child. PaB is doing the same thing for me.
Eos Amaterasu: Purple blizzard, all 'round my brain
Storm Nordwind starts playing the main riff on air guitar
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eos Amaterasu: What created the purple in the blizzard?
Storm Nordwind: The visibility was only a hundred yads or so...
Storm Nordwind: but somewhere...
Storm Nordwind: the setting sun was catching some clouds and mountain air
Storm Nordwind: and it suffused the enture scene
Eos Amaterasu: I like it when Mama Earth puts on a show
Eos Amaterasu: (with a little help from her friends)
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Eos Amaterasu: We're going to get -9 C temps this weekend
Eos Amaterasu: meanwhile it's unseasonably warm
Storm Nordwind: It was +22 here yesterday. Tonight it will be -6
Storm Nordwind: But I'm told that's typical for Colorado
Storm Nordwind: in March
Eos Amaterasu: Yeah... shorts during the day, thermals at night
--BELL--
Storm Nordwind: I think I will call it a night. Great to converse, as always :)
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, thank you, Storm! I will also head to bed!
Eos Amaterasu: Good night, purple Storm!
Storm Nordwind: haha!! But first a little play on the swing :)
