    Botty Absent: Hello
    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 :)

    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?

    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?

    Bleu (bleu.oleander): yes, lovely to stroll through
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): I like the heron

    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
