CavernSense

Which, during each encounter, did them an age of good.  Some didn’t appreciate the benefits, but they got over that.  Of course, I enjoyed the encounters since I myself am very serious all the time.

I agree with the philosophy of Nonsense.  It should be as Serious as possible, as often as it can.  It, like laughter, should be so overwhelmingly effervescent that it bubbles up from wherever it originates and spills out over the top to be abundantly shared by everyone whether they want it or not.

Seriously.  Why should Nonsense be boxed in, shoved down the tunnel into the lowest, darkest caves of the cavern, and waved away with a dismissive gesture when what shows up on the surface is, in fact less real and much more nonsensical than Nonsense itself?**  I mean really… who gets to decide what is real and valued and observationally worthy and what other things are utter nonsense?  When I finally meet that person I’m going to immediately disagree just to see what my punishment will be.  It will be interesting to be an infidel or a heretic or a blasphemer or a quack or a loon-a-tic.

**(Btw, if you didn’t all of that read the sentence again.  Slowly.  It will eventually make sense.  I promise the grammar and punctuation are correct.)

I have a soft spot for Nonsense.  Like the misunderstood gypsy it is forced to travel in search of a permanent home.  Interestingly, it doesn’t see that it has a home everywhere, even in the most serious-minded, logically oriented, conservatively traditional “I-must-always-be-in-the-right” individual.  I mean, really…. who in the world is always and ever always right?

When I meet that person I’m going to immediately disagree just to see what my punishment will be.  Punishing me may make that person feel better, too, and I’m sure will teach me a right good lesson.  Then I will show Nonsense exactly where it has been living, which will make Nonsense feel better, too.

Everyone will have reaped the benefits of our Explorers encounter, and I will have done a good day’s work.  The result? A win-win situation.

Now that just makes good Cavernsense.

Serious Nonsense plans to mingle amicably with other explorers during the Radio KTDN Fourth Anniversary. This should be great fun…

I haven’t written in here for a very long time.  Had lots to say and nothing that seemed, well, shareable.  But a lot has happened since the first Guild of Healers’ Gathering in our forum chatroom.  Along with the lovely music LC played, we also had a rather nice conversation.  Didn’t keep a chatlog (didn’t need a chatlog to remember the uplifting nature of the gathering), but we did make a decision that looks like it is going to motivate the Guild to “get going.” That motivator was, of course, that we wanted to be with (and help) people.

Seems we finally had a way to do what we’d been trying to do without the Cavern.  It was sad (no Cavern) and exciting (other MMO’s) at the same time, but we rectified the situation by deciding to send out an Outreach team to explore options for other gatherings.  That made me feel better, anyway, because I can see the Guild Retreat as temporary or as a branch of the guild until we have a space in the cavern when it finally reopens.  At that I stopped feeling guilty.

And, once I stopped worrying about feeling guilty, I started digging in and moving dirt around in our new SL space.  Now that was fun.  Planting flowers, trees, moving rocks, cutting the streambed…. these things I always enjoy.  Looks not half bad, either.

The Healers’ Silk Road event is tomorrow.   I think we are ready.  I expect CCN will cover it, too (lol, since I’m still on that team).  If nothing else, it will be an interesting experiment.  And, knowing several members of the crowd who are coming, it will be great fun as well.

Interesting and fun?  Now that makes good CavernSense.
