Maxine Walden: it speaks to the measure of trust that is growing here among us…
Pema Pera: YES!
Pema Pera: that’s one of the really AMAZING aspects of what we’re doing
Maxine Walden: the level of trust?
Pema Pera: yes
Pema Pera: I used an image the other day
doug Sosa: It feels “natural”, as though in rl we somehow miss each other, but here our more natural tendency to trust comes out.
Pema Pera: of a burning house
Pema Pera: guardians standing outside next to house
Pema Pera: a group of PaB guardians
Pema Pera: holding up one of those trampoline like devices
Pema Pera: to save people jumping out of the building
Pema Pera: each pulling in their own direction away from the others
Pema Pera: to make room in the middle, a safe place for others to land
Pema Pera: (what do you call these things?)
doug Sosa: safty nets.
doug Sosa: the net, each pulling away from the others, as if by pulling away they are pulling together
