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 25

  • Now emptiness
  • The hungry beast looks to grasp every fleeting thought or memory and says, "This is me!" And sometimes I believe it. Well most of the time. Pah! Let me turn this beast into a BE-ast. And perhaps remember, "There's no I in beast." Argh! I've become infected with Zen humour!
  • I and all sentient beings, until we achieve enlightenment,
    Go for refuge to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

  • How easy it is to find excuses! If we stay just few steps behind our teacher, we'll always be playing 'catch up'. We'll always be preparing. We'll never actually have to do anything. We can always see ourselves as not quite ready. Perhaps even not quite worthy. We will, in truth, never get anywhere. Why not just stay home instead? Might as well for all the good we're doing. And round we go again. So we can fool ourselves.
