    The Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The comments are by Eden Haiku.

    Alone for the first few minutes, I had been playing on voice a beautiful White Tara meditation video that Eliza had pointed to. She recognized it when she arrived...

    Eliza Madrigal: :::squeels::::
    Eliza Madrigal: thank you Eden :))
    Eden Haiku: Hi Eliza! Good morning Bruce :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Good morning - and Happy Labor Day, Eden, Eliza, and Arch.
    Eliza Madrigal: :::humming:::::
    Eden Haiku: White Tara meditation. A YouTube link Eliza sent me. :)
    Eden Haiku: Will put the link here...
    Bruce Mowbray: cool.
    Bruce Mowbray: Good morning, Ewan.
    Eliza Madrigal: I thought that the voice of the singer/chanter reminded me of Eden's ...
    Eden Haiku: Good morning Ewan and Archmage ;)
    Eliza Madrigal: and I've found it very soothing for the last few days :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Everyone, btw :)
    Ewan Bonham: Hi folks..
    Eden Haiku: So sweet of you to say that Eliza, but her voice is much more trained :)
    Eden Haiku: Hi Aphrodite, nice outfit :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, it is the Green Tara -- not the White -- but who cares? it is wonderful -- and I've done this a few times at the Tibetan Buddhist Center in Columbus.
    Eliza Madrigal: yes, lovely skirt... er... flash of a skirt as Aphrodite passes by...
    Eliza Madrigal: Yes Bruce, they say that in the comments too... but it is still lovely
    Eliza Madrigal: there seems to be a little story with the recording
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh really!??!!!
    Eden Haiku: It's the green Tara Bruce? The video says the white, no?
    Bruce Mowbray: I'll go back and read. . .
    Eliza Madrigal: Well, in the comments the person singing was singing the Greet Tara chant, however her visualization, she felt naturally... was that of White Tara
    Eliza Madrigal: so they labeled it such
    Bruce Mowbray: wow. That's wonderful (and they have their priorities right, too!)
    Eden Haiku: The images of the video are very beautiful and her chant is just wonderful, thank you so much, Eliza. Here is the link again for others who just arrived.
    Eliza Madrigal: I am putting together a play list, but this particular video affects me deeply... thought might be healing...
    Bruce Mowbray: experience first - traditional names, afterward.
    Eliza Madrigal: :) Bruce, yes
    Eden Haiku: I feel the same Eliza, healing, soothing.
    Eliza Madrigal: So glad, Eden
    Bruce Mowbray: I think we're lost Arch.
    Bruce Mowbray: we've lost Arch.
    Eden Haiku: Arch thought we were a sect this morning maybe...he left? Sorry Arch, I was just playing the video for a few seconds...
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eden Haiku: Better stay with the familiarity of the settings ;)
    Bruce Mowbray: You know something -- I always shied away from chanting -- for years!
    Eden Haiku: Why Bruce, any idea?
    Bruce Mowbray: Then I went on a retreat -- and the leader told me not to hold back (when chanting) but to give it ALL the energy that I felt . . .
    Bruce Mowbray: and I started to do that -- and was nearly screaming in some parts of the chant -- and it thoroughly changed me about chanting in general.
    Eden Haiku: Yes, that's the way to do it! Flowing with it.

    Eden Haiku: And sometimes whispering it

    Eden Haiku: Good morning Bleu.
    Bleu Oleander: hi :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu :) Artist and Inspiration at large
    Eden Haiku: We have been visiting your puzzle cube yesterday :) WONDERFUL!
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Bleu Oleander: I'm happy everyone is talking about the project
    Bleu Oleander: I hope this will translate into some interesting pieces!!
    Eden Haiku: I went there again this morning, it is so interesting this impression that we are all faces of a same puzzle :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Yes, and the ability for a 'piece' to reveal so many things...
    Eden Haiku: Welcome back Arch:)
    Eliza Madrigal: I feel genuine toward our faces all together like that... so close
    Bruce Mowbray: wb, Arch.
    Eden Haiku: I was afraid I pushed you away by playing mantras in voice :))
    Bleu Oleander: I really like the idea that the mix of avatars changes with each PaB session
    Eliza Madrigal: It is a very loving work, Bleu
    Bruce Mowbray: I was afraid maybe we'd chanted you into another realm.
    Eliza Madrigal: Thank you
    Bleu Oleander: like turning a rubiks cube
    Eliza Madrigal: hahah Bruce :)
    Eden Haiku: ;))
    Archmage Atlantis: In my hear, I was not gone
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eden Haiku: Bleu is showing some skin this morning, a human among humans :)
    Bleu Oleander: the many colors of PaB turn and form new conversations
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hi everyone :))
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Sharon :)
    Bleu Oleander: hi Sharon
    Eden Haiku: Good morning Sophia:)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: good morning :))
    Eden Haiku: Or Sharon :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Sharon (and Bleu, whom I overlooked earlier).
    Bleu Oleander: hi all :)
    Eden Haiku: What is the mystery behind the two first names if I may ask?
    Ewan Bonham: hi sharon and bleu
    Eliza Madrigal: Eden, did you see the incredible pic Agatha posted of you yesterday.. should peek at the guardian session
    SophiaSharon Larnia: my name?
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, good question :)

    Archmage Atlantis: Yesterday I was told, and I use the word told deliberatly, that if I am to continue to come to here, I will have to use V2
    Eden Haiku: Oh yes Eliza! Thanks for posting it. I wonder where the dramatic make up comes from. Must come with the hat...
    Bruce Mowbray: Yeps -- V2 or nothing, it seems.
    Eliza Madrigal: wow, that would be something great in RL... make up that comes with a hat
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Stevenaia :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: morning
    Eden Haiku: You mean in Second Life? I'm still with V1 and no problem yet on this laptop.
    Bruce Mowbray: Good morning, steve.
    Bleu Oleander: i still use V1 too
    Eliza Madrigal: Arch, you might try emerald, but yes I was forced to v2 also at some point
    Eden Haiku: Good morning Steve. Glad to see you :))
    SophiaSharon Larnia: uh not emerald :)
    Eliza Madrigal: so I have v2 on one computer and emerald on another
    Bruce Mowbray: might have something to do with Windows 7 - I don't know --
    stevenaia Michinaga: :) thx gtsy
    Bruce Mowbray: all I know is that they wouldn't let me log on until I'd installed the newest version of V2.
    Eliza Madrigal: what's wrong with emerald now?
    Archmage Atlantis: My desktop allows v1
    SophiaSharon Larnia: malicious code, the team broke up
    Eliza Madrigal: ACK
    SophiaSharon Larnia: try imprudence or phoenix
    Archmage Atlantis: It is 32 bit Windows
    stevenaia Michinaga: I am using emerald just fine
    Eliza Madrigal: better remove it from the other computer then...?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: it still works
    Archmage Atlantis: PC is 64
    SophiaSharon Larnia: I have
    Bruce Mowbray: ok -- and Windows 7 is 64 bit, I guess.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: emerald will go bye bye
    Eliza Madrigal trusts Sharon's judgement but not happy about v2
    Bruce Mowbray snuggles up with warm hugs to V2.
    Eden Haiku: These tech glitches are making our life as an avatar more complicated :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: phoenix is just like emerald, some developers from the old emerald team
    Eliza Madrigal: yes and the tech glitchers
    stevenaia Michinaga: thought Phoenix was in beta
    Eliza Madrigal: Ah, okay... love the word phoenix, too
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nope
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Archmage Atlantis: Then tower of programming Babel
    Bruce Mowbray listens to Koya purring.
    Eliza Madrigal: hahah Arch
     
    "What's in a name? that which we call a rose
    By any other name would smell as sweet"
     
    Eden Haiku: My question about your name SophiaSharon? If you feel like answering it. It puzzled me from the beginning ;)))
    SophiaSharon Larnia: oh sorry :)
    Bleu Oleander: living in Phoenix and using Phoenix would make my life seamless
    SophiaSharon Larnia: the first name is an internet sign on name and email I used for years before coming to sl, when I made the account, I couldnt think of anything else.
    Ewan Bonham: Well, there is a lesson in all of this change stuff for us , somewhere..
    SophiaSharon Larnia: the last name was arbitary
    Archmage Atlantis: Agree, Ewan
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i didnt realize how immersive sl was until my inventory was (what seemed to me at the time) huge
    Ewan Bonham: Sophia...doesn't that mean Wisdom?
    stevenaia Michinaga: Change is what makes life interesting
    SophiaSharon Larnia: yes
    Archmage Atlantis: the last part of the name does make sense - "life"
    Eliza Madrigal: I love the combination "Wisdom with life"
    Ewan Bonham: thanks, Sophia for bringing us to your home yesterday..
    Archmage Atlantis: The first part puzzles me, As for me there is no division
    SophiaSharon Larnia: it occured to me after reading thunder perfect mind
    Eliza Madrigal: Or if one thinks of rose of Sharon... unfolding wisdom perhaps...
    SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
    Eden Haiku: Thanks Sophia (Sharon). :))
    SophiaSharon Larnia: that was an email addy of mine too at one point
    Ewan Bonham: ã‹¡ Eliza
    SophiaSharon Larnia: call me sharon please :DD
    Ewan Bonham: Thank you for the correction, Sharon
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hehehhe
    Archmage Atlantis: Rose of Sharon = a species of hibiscus
    Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning everyone
    Bleu Oleander: hi Yaku
    SophiaSharon Larnia: yep
    Ewan Bonham: Hi Yak
    SophiaSharon Larnia: a weed, actually :D
    Eliza Madrigal giggles
    SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs
    Archmage Atlantis: Hello silent Yaku
    Eden Haiku: Ah, Sharon:)) I was always afraid to offend when not using both first names :))
    SophiaSharon Larnia: gosh no
    Ewan Bonham: Hi Aphro
    Eliza Madrigal: hibiscus nectar is delicious, if I had those flowers in my Meme's yard correct....
    Eden Haiku: Hello Yaku.
    stevenaia Michinaga: hello Yak, Aphrodite
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i dont care what you call me, just try to be nice hehehe
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Ya and WB Aphrodite
    Yakuzza Lethecus: hi aph
    SophiaSharon Larnia: names here dont mean that much
    Eden Haiku: Welcome back Aphrodite. No more victorian dress?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: imho
    SophiaSharon Larnia: or in rl
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Aphrodite
    SophiaSharon Larnia: signed onto sl, like, whats this :)) haha
    Aphrodite Macbain: He he no. That was from last night. Changed back to normal
    Eden Haiku:I care for names very much.
    Eliza Madrigal: naming with intention seems rather powerful to me... not naming for more than the moment perhaps...
     
    --BELL--
     
    Bruce Mowbray: Good morning, Aph - and Happy Labor Day.
    Archmage Atlantis: Being nice is difficult, not because of desire....because of not understanding what is desired
    SophiaSharon Larnia: and that makes sense Eden, alot of thought into it, I understand that :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: Thank you. What do you call it in the US?
    Archmage Atlantis: I would call it grace
    Ewan Bonham: Sharon, if purposefully chosen, as in my case, they mean a great deal...
    Bruce Mowbray: In the US, we call it "morning." ;-)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: yes my mother chose it, rose of sharon etc :) lol
    Aphrodite Macbain: Speaking of naming...how can I be called a Listener rather than a cultivator?
    Archmage Atlantis: Ka /Chiing
    stevenaia Michinaga: that is a different group tag
    stevenaia Michinaga: feel free to join
    Aphrodite Macbain: oh!!
    Aphrodite Macbain: what group is that?
    stevenaia Michinaga: Buddhism Listening and Discussion
    stevenaia Michinaga: you can select if grom my profile and join it for the tag
    Aphrodite Macbain: oh thanks stevenaia
    Bruce Mowbray: Good day, Yaku -- didn't see you over there, sorry!
     
    The Being Puzzled Project
     
    Puzzling Bleu.jpg
     
     
    Eliza Madrigal: Bleu, the cube is astounding but may be difficult for some of us to pull off something so multifaceted... the picture nearby, is that meant to be the example for what to submit and display?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i think 7 avatars here from the usa, labor day and we came here to chat :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :))
    Eliza Madrigal: labor day is strangely named...
    SophiaSharon Larnia: omg that is so awesome thank you Bleu !!
    Bleu Oleander: yes, Eliza
    Yakuzza Lethecus: hey bruce :)
    Bleu Oleander: the photo is all you need for the project "being puzzled"
    Eliza Madrigal: Ah, perfect. My wheels have been turning
    Bleu Oleander: my cube is just the "set" I designed to take the photo
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, it is wonderful though
    stevenaia Michinaga: I love the movement
    Ewan Bonham: Will that art continue to be on display here?
    Aphrodite Macbain: Are you all looking at it right now?
    Bleu Oleander: there are many interesting "sets" already designed in sl to use for photos
    Bleu Oleander: so everyone's new photos will replace the ones us now in the village
    Eliza Madrigal: Ewan, we normally take things down after a bit. The first projects were sculptures, then pictures, now pictures too... but also this way of taking pictures if one is inspired...
    Ewan Bonham: I C
    Eliza Madrigal: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/PaB_Art
    Bleu Oleander: I know there are some very creative PaBers here!
    Eliza Madrigal: indeed
    Bleu Oleander: so consider yourselves challenged
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
    Eden Haiku: Challenge is the word :)
    Eliza Madrigal: We had a ball 'playing on' the first exhibit...
    Aphrodite Macbain: I think I need a lesson or 2 for the basics
    Eliza Madrigal: then the second one had a kind of magic of its own...
    Eliza Madrigal: It is a good excuse...um, reason, to explore around SL too...
    Bleu Oleander: many of us are available for help
    Bleu Oleander: you can also partner with someone
    Bleu Oleander: and do a joint project
    Aphrodite Macbain: That's a good idea
    stevenaia Michinaga: brilliant idea
    stevenaia Michinaga: I love collaboration
    Bleu Oleander: fun to work together
    Bleu Oleander: learn a lot that way
    Aphrodite Macbain: me too. Gets great results of all kinds
     
    Puzzling looks
    Steve in a blue sari.jpg
     
    Eden Haiku: Was wondering who was the blond woman in the elegant blue sari :)
    Eliza Madrigal: like wisdomlife :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: smiles
    Eden Haiku: It's you Steve :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :D
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods, isn't my tag visible?
    Aphrodite Macbain: Steve has some great outfits
    stevenaia Michinaga: hehe, yes, both of them
    Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
    Aphrodite Macbain: cute little number you're wearing now
    Eliza Madrigal: you are far more modest in this form...
    Eliza Madrigal giggles
    Eden Haiku: Yes, but I saw you as I was taking pictures and I didn't realize it was you until now :)) Always surprises in this circle :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: there's a blonde in him somewhere
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hehe
    Eden Haiku: A lot of blue this morning in the circle :)
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: this form was a gift from viewer 2, so I kept it
    Eden Haiku: Puzzles on our minds Blue :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: the sari was gift from Paradise
    Bleu Oleander: good :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: why i dont like to log into 2.0, it messes everything up
    SophiaSharon Larnia: not that ive changed in ages haha
    Eden Haiku: Love saris in RL, I have many. Never found one I liked in SL...
     
    --BELL--
     
    Aphrodite Macbain: Paradise has some great outfits. She gave me one yesterday I haven't yet tried on
    Bruce Mowbray muses that dressing avi's is a bit like playing dolls.
    Bruce Mowbray: (not that he has a great deal of experience with playing dolls.)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
    Bleu Oleander: a bit like RL :)
    Bruce Mowbray: yes -- and I enjoy changing the clothes on my avi.
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: no phonebooths here to change
    Bruce Mowbray wonders if "doll house" is a metaphor for RL.
    Eden Haiku: ;)
    Ewan Bonham: Well, i do it in my little house..
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i probably have one in inventory if you need one Stevenaia :D
    Eliza Madrigal: Sl definitely gives one practice taking various views... looking into different windows, through different windows...
    stevenaia Michinaga: on what?
    stevenaia Michinaga: one
    Bruce Mowbray: I have a secret canyon where I go to change (and to camp when I'm off-line).
    Eliza Madrigal: and noticing that one is doing that, mainly
    SophiaSharon Larnia: a phone booth :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: lol
    SophiaSharon Larnia: hehe
    Ewan Bonham: Yes, many different views..
    Ewan Bonham: And in a short matter of time as well
    Bruce Mowbray: so. . . . "letting ourselves be seen. . . " but not when changing clothes.
    Eden Haiku: Still modest, we are :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: well, there are places for that too
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
    Ewan Bonham: Yes, and letting myself see myself as I emerge..
    Eliza Madrigal: we become imaginatively flexible
    Bruce Mowbray: cool.
    SophiaSharon Larnia: the more junk i make in sl, the less I change my avatar, weird :)
    Eliza Madrigal: ***so taking things lightly, we perhaps take light things more seriously too***
    Eliza Madrigal: :)) Sharon
    Ewan Bonham: LOL...:) Eliza
    Eden Haiku: Very nicely said Eliza :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: yes Eliza :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Vera Wang used to wear black so that she could put more color into her creations... that was her feeling anyway
    Ewan Bonham: Sharon, maybe it is in the making and not the wearing..:)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: sometimes, unless i make things to wear ^^
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i can kind of see where vera wang gets that idea
    Eden Haiku: I have this thing with my hair that maybe I would like to share...[I got a very polite response to what was quite a silly concern...]
    Eliza Madrigal listens
    Bleu Oleander: listens
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
    Eden Haiku: Was going to wear this blond hair this morning.[Crazy spiky one]
    Aphrodite Macbain listens attentively
    Bleu Oleander: btw, the hair show is going on now
    Bruce Mowbray listens intently to Eden.
    Aphrodite Macbain: hair show?
    Eden Haiku: But then, I didn't recognize myself ...(Avatar is speaking)
    Bleu Oleander: big show with lots of designers
    SophiaSharon Larnia: !! :)
    Eden Haiku: And then there is this one...[red horrible hairdo] Eden doesnt't feel it either,.,,
    Aphrodite Macbain: you're not a blonde by nature then!
    Eliza Madrigal zzooming in on Eden
    Bleu Oleander: not you Eden
    Eliza Madrigal: I feel most 'myself' as a brunette in SL... enjoy this black hair too... blonde feels very strange
    Eliza Madrigal: Eden, you look very NATURAL in pink somehow too
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: the red...not so sure
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eden Haiku: Looking for the lilac one...
    Eliza Madrigal: thanks for the link Bleu!
    Bleu Oleander: yw!
    SophiaSharon Larnia: whoa Bruce :)
    Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
    Eliza Madrigal: really not sure about bruce with the ragdoll hair...
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :D
    SophiaSharon Larnia: have you ever heard of the crazy arse hair hunt in sl?
    Eliza Madrigal: ?!?!
    SophiaSharon Larnia: they had 2 now
    Bleu Oleander: somehow Blub doesn't fit with your new hair Bruce
    Aphrodite Macbain: Grey hair doesn't work or your avi Bruce
    SophiaSharon Larnia: some crazy and really interesting hairs I dont leave the sim in hahahah
    Eden Haiku: No I hate the ragdoll hair too...[was talking about mine, red ragdoll horrible one ] I have many others, just can't remember the names and wear them now, but I feel strange to identify so much with a hairdo someone gave me as I was "becoming" Eden....:)
    Eliza Madrigal: some hair goes with certain clothes though
    Eliza Madrigal: like this hair looks strange with this outfit 
     
    --BELL--
     
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i like it but the color isnt rezzing for me yet
    Bleu Oleander: nice in sl to be able to put different hair with each outfit :)
    Eden Haiku: Oh Aphrodite, Why did you claim the session?
    Eden Haiku: Is wondering if she will receive the link to the log...
    Aphrodite Macbain: I didn't mean to. I don't know why it asked me. I was just agreeing to let you approve it. Sorry. Can it be undone?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nods
    Bruce Mowbray: sure -- easily undone.
    Eden Haiku: Hum...
    stevenaia Michinaga: all yours Eden
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Eden Haiku: Just did. Will I be receiving two links ?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: alls well
    Aphrodite Macbain: Sorry Eden
    stevenaia Michinaga: no
    Eden Haiku: That's ok...np
    Ewan Bonham: thank you, folks and nice to see you...
    SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Ewan :)
    Bleu Oleander: bye Ewan :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Bye Ewan, you too
    stevenaia Michinaga: bye Ewan
    Bruce Mowbray: Have a good day, Ewan.
    Eden Haiku: By Ewan, have a nice day.
    Aphrodite Macbain: my attention is being diverted to trying on this new outfit
    Yakuzza Lethecus: bye ewan
    Aphrodite Macbain: bye Ewan!
     
    Standing up, Steve reveals he is now wearing a beautiful pink dress and Aphrodite also stands up in a nice long victorian outfit. Bruce, in his green tartan kilt seems ready to jump into a Highland step dance...
     
    SophiaSharon Larnia: ooh enjoying the spin of your dress Stevenaia :)
    Eden Haiku: Nice pink dress Steve!
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: it needed an airing, it's been a while since it was worn
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :P
    Bruce Mowbray: wow, steve!
    Eliza Madrigal laughs
    Aphrodite Macbain: wow!
    Eden Haiku: smiles
    Aphrodite Macbain: shall we dance?
    Eliza Madrigal: oooo Aphrodite, that is really gorgeous
    stevenaia Michinaga: smile
    Bruce Mowbray: wow, Aph!
    SophiaSharon Larnia: Eliza blond..... :)
    Bleu Oleander: wow a fashion show!
    SophiaSharon Larnia: yes Aph :DD
    Eliza Madrigal: heheh
    stevenaia Michinaga: from hair to fashion
    Eliza Madrigal: this is one of the few blondes I like... but it makes me a little hm...
    Bleu Oleander: our inner models :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: you should see the hair I wore for a year in sl, kind of embarrassing LOL
    Aphrodite Macbain: now I need a place to wear it
    Eliza Madrigal: there's a leonard cohen dance place... or a jazz place...
    Aphrodite Macbain: oh yes?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nice kilt bruce I love it
    Eden Haiku: What I wonder is why I'm looking for consistency in a paper doll so to speak :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: change?
     
    Are we all descendants of Pacman?

    Yakuzza Lethecus: bruce: do you know where ur ancestors are from ?
    Bleu Oleander: it's much more than a "paper doll" Eden :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: are there SL ancestors?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: ha!
    Yakuzza Lethecus: we are all decendants of pacman ?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: or mario and luigi ?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: gobble gobble
    Aphrodite Macbain: hungry avatars
    Eliza Madrigal: You mean what causes us, while enjoying the versatility and transiency of the world... to do things that ground us here...
    Eliza Madrigal: and to rope us to our rl selves... to feel consistently embodied...
    Aphrodite Macbain: nicely put
    Eden Haiku: I'm asking myself the question :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: i don't try to ground myself here, i try to shake things up
    Eden Haiku: A grounding system by the hair maybe yes Eliza :)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: as much as it doesn't appear that way
    Eliza Madrigal: for me sl is an inbetween place... inbetween real life and dreams
    Eliza Madrigal: if I don't come to SL often enough, I lose the 'feeling' the taste of it...
    Aphrodite Macbain: I feel transformed by my hair. When it changes, I change. Very superficial of me
    stevenaia Michinaga: for me another extension of RL
    Eliza Madrigal: and then it doesn't help my rl at all...
    Eden Haiku: Well, I seemed to be roped to my younger self, when living in India I colored my hair in black...
    stevenaia Michinaga: with better clothes
    Eliza Madrigal: or vice versa
    stevenaia Michinaga: better
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, so this is an aspect of you in RL too then Eden
    Aphrodite Macbain: Your younger self had black hair?
    Eden Haiku: Yes. Now I'm blonde :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: (my younger self had hair)
    Aphrodite Macbain: :-) magic
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: mmmmmmagic yes
    Aphrodite Macbain winks at Steve
    Eden Haiku: Consistently blonde for many years now, same shade, thanks to my hairdresser :)
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Aphrodite Macbain: in RL I gave up blonde for grey with lowlights
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm rather blonde now too... but kind of unintentional
    Aphrodite Macbain: much easier
     
    Assumption of Stevenaia in a pink dress

    Aphrodite Macbain: I thought you were speaking another language for a mo
    Archmage Atlantis: No, just bad typing
    Archmage Atlantis: And a cat in rl that checks on me
    Bruce Mowbray: hard to type with enormous paws, though.
    Aphrodite Macbain: I have a cat that does that too.

    Archmage Atlantis: I know he just wants to make sure I'll open the next tin
