The Guardian for this meeting was Eos Amaterasu. The comments are by Eos Amaterasu.

Storm Nordwind: Good evening Eos :)
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Storm
Eos Amaterasu: In a way this seems like the first stop in my long day :-)
Storm Nordwind: Oh dear! Busy and productive?
Eos Amaterasu: busy in a way that doesn't seem all that futile... yes
Eos Amaterasu: (that's not always the case)
Storm Nordwind: So now you can relax in a place where there are no expectations! :)
Eos Amaterasu: Is that a 90 second pause suggestion?
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Storm Nordwind: rewritten as: "See what happens when you drop expectations"
Eos Amaterasu: drop 'spectations
Eos Amaterasu: nothing like a buggy red ribbon :-)

Boxy's red ribbon encircling the Pagoda cushions responds to commands, but they don't show up in the logs

Eos Amaterasu: even our illusions are buggy!
Storm Nordwind: It can't control its own dcitionary server
Storm Nordwind: Even my spelling is buggy!
Eos Amaterasu: the bugs may be the innovation points
Eos Amaterasu: off by an ocean :-)
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Eos Amaterasu: we need Watson!
Eos Amaterasu: It's -8 C here tonight
Storm Nordwind: Warm Spring day, 20+C today. Snow's a'comin'
Eos Amaterasu: it will be Denver weather day after tomorrow
Eos Amaterasu: whups, not that warm!

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu: no expectations... echoes of a Rolling Stone song with that phrase....
Storm Nordwind temporarily forgets which one
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi eos, storm
Storm Nordwind: Good evening Aph!
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Aph!
Aphrodite Macbain: You should stop smoking eos
Aphrodite Macbain: it stunts your growth
Eos Amaterasu: I do have a tiny body....
Storm Nordwind is unsure whether Aph is eating a croissant or a large crustacean
Eos Amaterasu: it said so on the card that came with it :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: It is a large croissant Storm
Aphrodite Macbain: ah - also female
Aphrodite Macbain: hmm
Storm Nordwind: a female croissant?!
Aphrodite Macbain wonders whether cigarettes effect sex change
Aphrodite Macbain: snort
Aphrodite Macbain: I haven't eaten dinner so I thought this might tide me over
Eos Amaterasu: a female crustacean?
Aphrodite Macbain: What are YOU smoking Storm?
Eos Amaterasu: smoking up a storm
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Storm Nordwind: It's called Capital Wasteland's "Health Insurance"
Aphrodite Macbain: sigh,
Eos Amaterasu feels like at the mad hatter's tea party
Aphrodite Macbain: how is the election going?
Aphrodite Macbain: without the tea or the hats
Storm Nordwind shrugs "I have no clue"
Eos Amaterasu: winners sometimes throw hats in the air
Aphrodite Macbain: winners take all hats
Aphrodite Macbain: and throw out the baby
Aphrodite Macbain decides she can be nonsensical too
Aphrodite Macbain: ha!
Aphrodite Macbain: a storm in a hat
Aphrodite Macbain: since we dont have a tempest in a teapot
Eos Amaterasu: speak without expectations
Storm Nordwind: There is a Tempesta!
Aphrodite Macbain: right!! where is she parked?
Aphrodite Macbain: awww
Aphrodite Macbain: you could ride that Eos
Storm Nordwind would be very impressed if Aph managed to ride this tiny scooter
Aphrodite Macbain: Hmmm
Aphrodite Macbain: needs gas
Eos Amaterasu: ride the ribbon, aph1
Aphrodite Macbain: hmm cant do both
Eos Amaterasu: no multitaxiing
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: so- what's new?

--BELL--

Aphrodite Macbain: are you trying to put the bike on the ribbon?
Aphrodite Macbain: :-(
Eos Amaterasu: I don't want to die......
Eos Amaterasu: just wanna ride my motorcy....
Eos Amaterasu: cle
Aphrodite Macbain hates it when I am accusd of stealing by a bike
Eos Amaterasu: uppity little things
Aphrodite Macbain: pompous little 2 strokes
Eos Amaterasu: [19:08] Storm Nordwind: So now you can relax in a place where there are no expectations! :)
Aphrodite Macbain: ?
Eos Amaterasu: recalling a theme
Aphrodite Macbain: wondering what the theme is
Aphrodite Macbain: expectations?
Eos Amaterasu: haha
Aphrodite Macbain: surely we always have expectations of somethng
Eos Amaterasu: aha
Eos Amaterasu: ah!
Aphrodite Macbain hands Eos a hanky
Eos Amaterasu: rubs eyes
Storm Nordwind: What would happen if you momentarily dropped all expectations?
Eos Amaterasu: let's try for 9 seconds
Eos Amaterasu: go!

Ewan Bonham: TY Eos..
Aphrodite Macbain: I have expectations that both Storm and Eos will say something or

Storm Nordwind: I have expectations that I'll manage to get away without saying anything more this evening
Eos Amaterasu: other
Aphrodite Macbain: hahah
Eos Amaterasu: (that was easy)
Aphrodite Macbain: for you to say
Eos Amaterasu: (homage to that scene in LOTR where the password clue is Say Friend)
Eos Amaterasu: (and ye shall enter)
Aphrodite Macbain: "Friend and ye shall enter"
Aphrodite Macbain: Raff, Ewan, stop us from this silliness

Aphrodite Macbain: Speaking of the devil!
Paradise Tennant: hiya pema ;)
Pema Pera: hi there!
Pema Pera: ??
Pema Pera: :-)
Raffila Millgrove: hello Pema. the ribbon just quoted you.
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Pema gtsy
Pema Pera: hi ribbon, gtsy :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: It was very profound
Pema Pera now really beginning to wonder . . .
Eos Amaterasu: we're feeling the effects of "no expectation" practice - anything can happen!
Aphrodite Macbain: [19:49] red ribbon: Pema Pera: Would you mind if I mention you in the blog as well, by your SL name? http://bit.ly/wVwYGX
Pema Pera: hahaha
Pema Pera: Well, Pema quoting Pema . . . that might lead to dangerous infinite regress perhaps??
Aphrodite Macbain: You were speakig to Stim I think Pema
Aphrodite Macbain: interesting title for the session -Open Secrets
Pema Pera: ah, I thought the old Pema was talking to the current Pema :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: my mind whirls
Pema Pera: I love open secrets
Pema Pera: like open source
Aphrodite Macbain: only an astrophysicist would think that way
Paradise Tennant: hmm can you say more pema .. how can a secret both be secret and open :)
Pema Pera: oh, Being is a good example
Aphrodite Macbain: poetic license
Pema Pera: all that is, IS, but . . . it seems to be a pretty well kept secret
Eos Amaterasu: water to a fish
Aphrodite Macbain: deliberately kept secret?
Pema Pera: so we have to start dipping our foot in the waters by starting to "Play as Being"
Eos Amaterasu: or our fins
Pema Pera wondering whether the fish is a piranha
Raffila Millgrove: i thought an open secret was something supposed to be kept "secret" that many people knew, but still pretended to be keeping a confidence.
Pema Pera: that is anothe usage, yes!
Eos Amaterasu: that's one meaning for sure
Pema Pera: But what I had in mind is the exact opposite
Eos Amaterasu: (like "the emperor has no clothes")
Aphrodite Macbain: perfect Eos
Raffila Millgrove: what is the opposite?
Aphrodite Macbain: an unspoken truth
Raffila Millgrove: that's the opposite?
Aphrodite Macbain: opposite of what? an open secret?
Eos Amaterasu: obscure statement?
Raffila Millgrove: Pema said.. he meant just the opposite..
Pema Pera: "you can be happy, in far more situations than you may think" is pretty much a secret, in that few people know it or believe it -- yet you can't really call it hidden
Pema Pera: it's pretty open -- I just said it!
Aphrodite Macbain: perhaps ignored
Aphrodite Macbain: but available
Pema Pera: yes
Pema Pera: the joy in a chiild's eye can be a hidden secret in the middle of a busy commuter crowd in a city
Aphrodite Macbain wonders whether Storm is hiding behind his dark glasses
Storm Nordwind: Natch
Aphrodite Macbain: you spoke!
Aphrodite Macbain ponders the joy in a child's eye
Storm Nordwind: There is joy in this Storm's eye, but you may miss it :)
Eos Amaterasu: eye ponders eye
Pema Pera: :)
Paradise Tennant: there is joy in most things :)
Aphrodite Macbain: too bad
Pema Pera: eye eye!
Pema Pera: aye aye?
Aphrodite Macbain: tooth tooth
Paradise Tennant: secretly wanting to bubble
Storm Nordwind: The ayes have it
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye! bye
Pema Pera: :-)
Paradise Tennant: night night aph
Eos Amaterasu: ciao ciao
Storm Nordwind waves
Paradise Tennant: sweet dreams
Pema Pera: bye Aph!
Aphrodite Macbain: Time to bid you adieu
Aphrodite Macbain: xxooo
Pema Pera: farewell and sleep well and see you soon again!
Eos Amaterasu: [19:08] Storm Nordwind: So now you can relax in a place where there are no expectations! :)
Paradise Tennant: smiles sleepily think I will say thank you and good night too :)
