Storm Nordwind is no longer keeping this blog current

This blog contains a diary of the Second Life avatar Storm Nordwind's first experiences of Play as Being, from April 2008.

The early entries of this blog are still interesting (to me at least) but from September 2008 onwards there's no real content.


Storm supported Play as Being until 2015 but no longer keeps this blog active. It is here now only as a matter of record.

Play as Being 20

  • Without thought, without action, I AM
  • A journal, a notebook to carry with me. What would that be for? And there I was with my hands in soap suds, washing the dishes, and looking out and seeing the wind bending the bright green grass, and thinking... well it was something meaningful and good - you'll just have to take my word for it. Ha ha! Now it's gone. Flushed out by all pervasive present experience. Like in Silent Watcher meditation, watching things arise and letting them go. Living in the Now. Being Now. Being the Now.
  • Don't stop: keep going! So... walking through a house while playing with the 9 second meditation I notice an awareness of the thinness of the walls and the house as a whole, and its place in the landscape... and in seconds I feel a sense of poise as though I had done Tai Chi for an hour.

    You really made me laugh, Storm, when I was reading about your doing the dishes and us having to take your word for it that you could have produced something to write. Yes, on one level any technique is a funny thing, distracting us from what is, and on another level a technique can help to undistract us a bit from all the distractions that daily life throws at us. As with anything, it is a matter of balance, and humor seems to be key to keep that balance, dynamically! Thank you for injecting even more humor in our already quite humorous endeavor.
