A. Month of September

Genesis Zhangsun and Adams Rubble drew up a list of guidelines for the guardians while Pia and others drew up a notecard to be given to new attendees.

Moon Fargis began a PaB library.

The Sunday morning guardian meetings became less about business and more about discussing our practices. 

Gaya Ethaniel added detailed and illustrated explanation of the names of our sims to the Wiki.

Storm Nordwind built a new pavilion in Bieup. The impetus was the autologging. The pavilion in Rieul was too near the property of others and might have picked up their conversation.

Rowan made us all PaB tee-shirts. 

APAPB

We continued to ponder this new formula in September. On September 25 01:00 Gaya asked Pema about "presentation"

Gaya Ethaniel: Presentation is something that I don't quite get Pema
Pema Pera: The sentence is meant as an open invitation, and indeed, I have not defined or specified each word in the sentence very well.
Pema Pera: The best way to use the sentence, I think, is to taste it, to repeat it quietly a number of times, for example during the 9-sec intervals, and if you like, more frequently or at other times.
Pema Pera: Chances are that the sentence will begin to make more sense, over time. Perhaps the sentence will talk to you, so to speak, in some way :-)
Gaya Ethaniel smiles. ah ok
Pema Pera: but that is just in general
Pema Pera: I'm happy to talk about each element, as much as you are interested :>)
Gaya Ethaniel: Please
Pema Pera: So as for presenting, we can start with the fact that there is appearance
Pema Pera: something appears, we don't know what it is, where it comes from, etc, we only know that appearance appears
Pema Pera: Stating it that way is the negative form: anything more than saying "appearance" is speculation, to some extent -- and leaving out speculation means stripping off any element besides appearance; a negative approach (and a very useful one!)

Taste of September:

Caledonia on YSBS on September 4 07:00

Caledonia Heron: re ys/bs... I was flying back from work and looking out the window
Caledonia Heron: I started placing being on the clouds outside, hopping forward with me, along side
Wol Euler smiles
Caledonia Heron: then being seeing the plane with the people inside looking out
Caledonia Heron: a funny kind of daydream but not really
B: :-)
Caledonia Heron: with being seeing me looking out the window
B: Ah
Caledonia Heron: a daydream? imagination? seemed far more in depth than than that.... funny to remember so vividly

A little later in the same session on devil's advocate:

Wol Euler: !"Formerly, during the canonization process of the Roman Catholic Church, the Promoter of the Faith (Latin Promotor Fidei), popularly known as the Devil's Advocate (Latin advocatus diaboli), was a canon lawyer appointed by the Church to argue against the canonization of the candidate."
Wol Euler: aaaah
Caledonia Heron: I had a picture of the devil's attorney as an advocate .... big cave, guy with horns and trident and alongside a guy in a suit and wingtips

New Guardians:

Artemisia Svoboda, Corvuscorva Nightfire and quen Oh joined the guardian group. Sadly, Avastu Maruti, Hotaru Myoo and Trevor Berensohn dropped out. The guardian total was at 33 at the end of the month.
