Out of This World (and That World, and …. )
Written on July 15, 2009 by Katherine W. Prawl
I was chatting with a friend on Twitter tonight, and happened to mention the Kira Café, an institute in Second Life. It has been some time since I visited Kira, and since their Play As Being group meets four times a day, around the clock, I decided to drop in and say hello, even though it was 3 a.m.
When I got to the meeting place, I saw my friend Piet Hut, who is the group’s founder. He’s in Japan right now, so the time of day was downright normal for him to be out and about. The other person there tonight lives in Australia, so her clock is also on a diurnal schedule. But even us nightowls can always find somebody awake in a virtual world whenever we decide to go there.
Anyway, the person I’d been twittering with earlier, Wan-Qi Kim, is involved in teaching meditation, etc. so I had suggested he might like to visit Kira Café. I think it would be fascinating to introduce these two brilliant men, but don’t know if I can lure Wan into SL to do so, and catch Piet there at the same time. Maybe someday. If it’s meant to be, it will happen.
