Catrinamonblue: Hello Botty :)
Botty Absent: nice new pavillion
Catrinamonblue: yes it is :) interesting to have a change :)
Botty Absent: I like the cealing
Catrinamonblue: yes me too :)
Botty Absent: it seems early for a session
Botty Absent: what you up to
Catrinamonblue: this one Eos is usually here for, it was easier for him to have it an hour earlier :)
Catrinamonblue: I'm just hanging out :)

PaB Bell: 90 second pause. Please be silent in mindfulness.
PaB Bell: Thank you. Please continue to be mindful.

Botty Absent: I am avoiding work
Catrinamonblue: I have done that a time or two :)
Botty Absent: here we being silent and our avis are moving all over
Catrinamonblue: that fits for me as I'm a bit of a restless type person :)

PaB Bell: whispers: Will ring in 577 seconds, at 18:12:46.

Botty Absent: what is that bell text about
Botty Absent: why would it ring at 18:12
Catrinamonblue: that is to remind us to "drop" for 90 sec every 15 min :) have you been here before?
Botty Absent: maybe it knows the symphony
Botty Absent: yes, been here before
Catrinamonblue: ah ok :)

Botty Absent: but do not understand ringing at 18:12
Botty Absent: 577 seconds from then
Catrinamonblue: Wol has programed the clock :)
Botty Absent: me thinks Wol went off a little
Catrinamonblue: She adjusted it to be + or - 3 min for a bit of randomness :)
Catrinamonblue: playing with time
Botty Absent: ok
Botty Absent: well, it just played with my mind
Catrinamonblue: smiles
Botty Absent: guessing that is success
Catrinamonblue: :)

Catrinamonblue: So what kind of things interest you Botty?
Botty Absent: oh
Catrinamonblue: I must admit I'm not a deep thinker like the rest of the group here, I tend to listen more than anything
Botty Absent: good question
Botty Absent: in the other part of my lifbote I am a chat
Botty Absent: and just talk on and on
Catrinamonblue: smiles :)
Catrinamonblue: I do that in my other life too :)

Visitor: Hi
Catrinamonblue: Hello visitor :)
Bleu (bleu.oleander): hi visitor
Botty Absent: Hi visitor
Visitor: This is my first time here. I'm a teacher in Australia and I want to take my class here tomorrow.

Botty Absent: Bleu, I am a product of one of your art projects
Bleu (bleu.oleander): oh fun!
Catrinamonblue: In SL visitor or PaB specifically?
Bleu (bleu.oleander): the Art of Being an Alt?
Botty Absent: yes
Bleu (bleu.oleander): cool
Visitor: Sorry, not a SL regular. What is PaB
Bleu (bleu.oleander): So visitor, do you need some info on PaB?
Catrinamonblue: I'm going to im visitor to explain things
Bleu (bleu.oleander): ok great
Botty Absent: visitor, do you meanSL in general or Play As Being
Botty Absent: ok, I should read BEFORE writing
visitor: What is this place - is it a garden or a shrine or an art installation or all three?
Bleu (bleu.oleander): well we're a group trying to know reality
Catrinamonblue: Bleu do you have a note card for visitor? I seem not to have one
Bleu (bleu.oleander): I just gave him one
Catrinamonblue: ty :)

Bleu (bleu.oleander): we also have a wiki that has lots of information on it
Bleu (bleu.oleander): btw, We record these sessions and publish them on our website, http://wiki.playasbeing.org/. May we have your permission to include your SL name and your comments in the published log?
Botty Absent: the notecard should start to explain
visitor: Sorry, this must sound stupid. I said I wanted to keep the notecard but now where do I find it?
visitor: It's not in my inventory as far as I can tell.
Bleu (bleu.oleander): look under recent
Bleu (bleu.oleander): in your inventory
Bleu (bleu.oleander): or under notecards
visitor: Oh OK. I'm running a really old version of imprudence so it seems to be failing on me.
visitor: Might have to restart.
Bleu (bleu.oleander): we get together a few times a day to chat about the nature of reality, and everything else
 But basically we stop for 9 seconds, just pause, and drop our associations and identifications that we carry with us most of the time, our baggage if you like, so that we can get a chance to see what we are behind that.
 It's called Play as Being, because we can play with what it might be like to be, or to be Being.
visitor: Thanks for chatting!
Bleu (bleu.oleander): ok nice chatting
Botty Absent: I remember trying to make an avatar like that default cloud
Botty Absent: come back anytime
visitor: Thanks
Catrinamonblue: :)
Botty Absent: does it seem we are getting more drop-in visitors?
Bleu (bleu.oleander): i've seen a few recently
Catrinamonblue: I haven't been around much recently :) I'm a bit rusty on my welcome speach ;)
Bleu (bleu.oleander): I like his question, " is it a garden or a shrine or an art installation or all three?"
Catrinamonblue: :)

Botty Absent: ok, I have 1 vote each for a kitten, a puppy and a bunny
Bleu (bleu.oleander): 1 for each?
Botty Absent: ya'll are no help
Catrinamonblue: Need to find a tie breaker voter :)
Bleu (bleu.oleander): am I the puppy?
Catrinamonblue: and I am of course the cat :)
Botty Absent: Aph voted rabbit

Catrinamonblue: :)
Botty Absent: I have no mind
Botty Absent: can't make decisions
Bleu (bleu.oleander): ha ha! spoken like a true avi
Catrinamonblue: perhaps all three?

Botty Absent: hmmmmm

Botty Absent: San's place is named for a hare
Bleu (bleu.oleander): so is that one for the rabbit?
Catrinamonblue: ah I didn't know that! :) nice
Bleu (bleu.oleander): yes, lovely to stroll through
Bleu (bleu.oleander): I like the heron
Catrinamonblue: I had a very quick stroll yesterday :)
Botty Absent: yes, I knew the heron from before

PaB Bell: 90 second pause. Please be silent in mindfulness.

Bleu (bleu.oleander): the legend of the Phoenix bird is a heron

PaB Bell: Thank you. Please continue to be mindful.
Botty Absent: the business I had to travel to in Florida had 2 herons in the parking lot, little lakes
Catrinamonblue: I do enjoy Wol's bell :)
Catrinamonblue: :)
Bleu (bleu.oleander): :)
Botty Absent: they would go out into traffic
Bleu (bleu.oleander): yikes
Catrinamonblue: oh dear
Botty Absent: they would also stand in the left turn lane
Bleu (bleu.oleander): ha!
Catrinamonblue: lol

PaB Bell: whispers: Will ring in 753 seconds, at 18:46:31.

Botty Absent: and poke at turning signals
Botty Absent: the park service got so many complaits
Botty Absent: that they took them away
Catrinamonblue: safer for the birds :)
Botty Absent: herons are beautiful
Bleu (bleu.oleander): aww probably relocated in a better spot?
Botty Absent: but turning signal glass is expensive

Bleu (bleu.oleander): I did a painting representing the legend once for the City of Phoenix
Botty Absent: nature learns to live within our confines
Botty Absent: and we don't like it
Botty Absent: has the city risen from its ashes
Botty Absent: or is that yet to come?
Bleu (bleu.oleander): not sure
Bleu (bleu.oleander): hehe
Catrinamonblue: :)
Bleu (bleu.oleander): hopefully it is yet to come
Botty Absent: :)
