The Guardian for this meeting was Storm Nordwind. The comments are by Storm Nordwind.

The session began with your guardian having to return two noisy objects to Lucinda.

Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning storm
Yakuzza Lethecus: the neverending onigokko
--BELL--
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning eden
Eden Haiku: Hello Yaku :)
Eden Haiku: good morning Storm :)
Storm Nordwind: Good morning friends
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey arch
Storm Nordwind: Emergency over
Yakuzza Lethecus: the neverending onigokko
Eden Haiku: What happened?

Quiet is regained.

Archmage Atlantis: This emergency, this ending, it is not over
Archmage Atlantis: Not until the new begins
Eden Haiku: OHm just realized my speakers were off. hello Arch!
Archmage Atlantis: This will sound insane, as it sounds insane to me
Archmage Atlantis: 3 years ago I was asked to touch a crystal
Archmage Atlantis: It was Aqua
Archmage Atlantis: and It was the source of life
Eden Haiku: And do you still feel the pulse of the source of life within you Arch?
Archmage Atlantis: Living with an insane mind is not what I would choose
Archmage Atlantis: Nor would it be something I would talk about
Archmage Atlantis: This place is Atlantis
Archmage Atlantis: And I am the mage
Archmage Atlantis: So judge me as you will
Archmage Atlantis: leave as you must
Archmage Atlantis: Pema and Storm opened this door
Eden Haiku: I understand what you are saying Arch :) Memories of Atlantis are very vivid in your soul.
Eden Haiku: As they are in mine :)
Archmage Atlantis: And I had no choice but to walk throught it
Storm Nordwind: Sometimes, when we think, or we speak, or we act, we do not realize we create a door - for our others, or ourselves.
Eden Haiku: ;)

Eden asks about distant recall.

Eden Haiku: Yaku, have you ever experienced memories of past lives?
Yakuzza Lethecus: sadly i don´t think in past live concepts, i only have dreams of fiction i created in my mind when like thinking into a specific timerange after reading or watching something
Yakuzza Lethecus: nothing were i really felt so immersted to actually consider this me a me
Eden Haiku: ah, I see :)
Archmage Atlantis: Me too, Yaku...others see past lives in me
Archmage Atlantis: I do not
Archmage Atlantis: I was told that I organized the 12 to leave Atlantis.......there is no proof or logic to that
Archmage Atlantis: So it is insane
--BELL--
Archmage Atlantis: insane = without sanity
Yakuzza Lethecus: what´s sanity anyway
Storm Nordwind: Scientifically, I have no way of knowing whether my impressions relate to past lives. Philosophically there is no way of distinguishing between such impressions and my memories of yesterday. Pragmatically, if they help me in my actions today, it matters not what I call those impressions!
Archmage Atlantis: Sanity - organized thought, with colllaborating observation
Eden Haiku: In a few years from now, topics like this will be easily discussed. Now, there is still much fear ina acknowledging we are one with all there is and there is no such a thing as time. But it's not insane Arch :)
Archmage Atlantis: ty, sister Aiden
Eden Haiku: Why is it coming to you now these thoughts? Is it related to a dream you had, a worry?
Alfred Kelberry: hi :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey alf
Eden Haiku: Boxy! hi!
Alfred Kelberry: ah, the oni concert is over :)
Alfred Kelberry: bon bon, eden :)
Alfred Kelberry: yaku-san
Eden Haiku: :)
Alfred Kelberry: *settles on the cushion*
Alfred Kelberry: ah, you're grey to me

Eden's visitors.

Eden Haiku: Overhearing my younger brother's voice. He's visiting my father today. Feeling joyful just hearing his voice :) Will go see him a bit later.
Alfred Kelberry: say hi form sl! :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: did you ever show sl to him ?
Eden Haiku: He would love it but he lives deep in the woods and has too little bandwith ;(
Storm Nordwind: Like Bruce?
Eden Haiku: Maybe I should show him on my screen, yes :) Been bringing RL people lately, in my SL world. The friend you took with us on a mgic carpet topur Storm, she was so impressed, heraing voices, looking at all the beautiful gardens, and Eliza's floating kimono :)
Alfred Kelberry: deep in the woods sounds lovely

Arch's heritage.

Archmage Atlantis: Sisters & Brothers.....I have none
Archmage Atlantis: Parents, gone
Archmage Atlantis: Only the plants and animals
Storm Nordwind: Small seeds planted Eden. Sometimes we know not what will grow from them! :)
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, you are they only one left Arch, your parents gone,I remember. Do you still have cousins though?
Archmage Atlantis: My family name has been in this land since 1650
Eden Haiku: Wow!
Archmage Atlantis: So yes
Eden Haiku: I also have copusins living in Florida. My great=-grand=father had a farm there.
Eden Haiku: We might even be related Arch, who knows:)
Storm Nordwind: We are a species of migrants. Our roots are so shallow, we are amazed when they seem to hold for a few centuries!
Eden Haiku: No Yaku, my brother is not an hermit even though he lives deep in the woods. He built a big house and his wife and he we4lcfome their daughters, their boyfriends and now a little grand-child just born recently.
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, my mitrtochondria is Scotch via Ireland
Storm Nordwind: Scots or Scottish please. Scotch is what you drink!

Sun arrives as the sun sets.

Eden Haiku: HI Sunshine! I love your leggings or bracelets?
Sunshine Vayandar: hi Storm, Yaku, Eden, Arch ;)

Archmage Atlantis: A few centuries in Alabama, they forget the spelling.
Alfred Kelberry: sun!
Alfred Kelberry: :)

Sun's ideas for another café intermingle with tales of ancestors and leap seconds.

Sunshine Vayandar: ;) Eden ty so much for that poem - it means a lot - I am thinking of building a neighborhood cafe on my little plot in the village
Sunshine Vayandar: meep!
Sunshine Vayandar: how are you Boxy ;)
Alfred Kelberry: oh, stormy, sun reminded me of an article i read today. about leap seconds. i think you'll like it.
Alfred Kelberry: i'm ok, wuff :)
Sunshine Vayandar: leap seconds?
Sunshine Vayandar: hi obs ;)
Alfred Kelberry: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1967009
Storm Nordwind can't imagine why he'd be particularly attracted to the practice of occasionally inserting leap seconds!
Eden Haiku: Oh, have you read Pema's email aboit mid-point meetings Sunshine? He suggests we meet at the Five Bells PUb 4 times a day now: at 4am SLT, 10 am SLT, 4pm SLT and 10 pm SLT. IT,s such a cozy place with a fireplace, hot tea and beer and a purring cat!
Sunshine Vayandar: yes Eden I read ;) sounds cosy there
Sunshine Vayandar: well I have been there before during my hunt times ;))
Storm Nordwind: I'm glad most people find it cozy in the pub :)
Eden Haiku: Oh yes, but another cafe would be fine too! We can hop from cafe to cafe :))
Archmage Atlantis: Interesting, boxy, my dad had a watch issued by the trainline for whom he worked
Archmage Atlantis: It was issued before the time zones were set
Storm Nordwind: Would you take down your music area Sun? I had the impression people liked that, and there is nothing similar in the village.
Alfred Kelberry: archy, wow
Eden Haiku: Wow, what an article Alfred! Scanning...
Alfred Kelberry: it feels like they've been here forever
Sunshine Vayandar: hmm I would keep it - if people like the music - it would just have a name and would change a little ...
Sunshine Vayandar: interesting Boxy ;)
Archmage Atlantis: He was a wow guy, Sargeant in the invasion of Normandy, returned to become police, then SSA
Sunshine Vayandar: hi Susan ;)
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Archmage Atlantis: He believed in being kind
Storm Nordwind: That sounds interesting Sun! Do try and keep within prim limit. :)
Eden Haiku: Great Sunshine! yes, a name for it would be nice:) The Zulu Cafe maybe? Hehe...
Sunshine Vayandar: of course Stormy ;)
Storm Nordwind is the eternal village caretaker!
Sunshine Vayandar: hmm I would call it the neighborhood cafe i think ;)
Eden Haiku: And he worked for a train company Arch? Your dad?
Eden Haiku: Ah, nice too Sunshine :)
Storm Nordwind: For those who haven't explored - there are also two other cafes within a short walk of where we sit.
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, boxy
Eden Haiku: The Museum cafe :)
Eden Haiku: And?
Storm Nordwind: The Kira Cafe - which is even closer
Sunshine Vayandar: Kira cafe ;)
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, haven't been there for a loong time :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: so a midbreak in all 4 cafe´s in each cafe once a day :P

A new workshop coming to the Kira Café.

Storm Nordwind: There's a new workshop starting there in May. I expect that many of our new PaB folk (and old) might be both capable and interested in running sessions there. :)
Eden Haiku: How to split yourself in many fragments :)))

Eden Haiku: Thank you Storm. Have a wonderful day. Good bye Sun, Yaku, Boxy, Arch, iwandertoo. See you later :) In the pub or elsewhere :))
Sunshine Vayandar: July August is winter - which means - there is no rain at all and during the day it's about between 10-15 degrees and at night it's around zero
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye all leavers
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Storm Nordwind: On the equator - such when I worked in Malaysia - it's always hot and humid. Which is just as well because it makes the soles of your feet sticky and that stops you being flung off into space.
Sunshine Vayandar: take care Eden - have a great day there ;)
iwandertoo Resident: singapore is similar
Storm Nordwind: A near neighbor
Sunshine Vayandar: ;) Storm
