SL/RL Synthesis Note (49): "The SL Hoe"

I was chatting with some female SL friends and the question came up: "What if the SL Avie you were interested in told you that he/she wanted a hoe for an sl mate?" The real question I heard was "Why do women tolerate relationships with men in SL who seem only focused on sex and control?" and its a good question. I'll begin my OPINION on the matter by saying that I believe there was a time early in the history of SL when people visited the grid from all walks of life for various reasons and some stayed because of the relationships they had developed and the possibilities that existed to expand/explore the creative mind. Some strong RL relationships...

"Eshu's (Elegba) Release" a poem

i was so tired of running on the journey my steps had become like those of a dead man walking i’d whispered in the dark prayers of relief gone unanswered and moved like a zombie crisp from high heather approaching a crossroad my shadow looming i watched as my singular view lost convergence There at the critical split the sun’s hue refracted against your cool glare i blinked three times third eye blurred by the hazy ripples but I saw you there. "Elegba at The CrossRoads" by Karmella Hines  (2003) Felt your beckon too but resisted don’t take too kindly to Strangers and you, there at that time in that space sure seemed strange to...

"my Bindi" a poem

west winds blew and the brush unsettled sweeping me into promise of sweet serenity holding onto withered branches He caressed each finger tenderly loosening the binds ...to what could not be gentle peace lines his breath each word engendering surrender beckoning me along the pathway i follow faithfully, my heart pounds fighting the resistance to ...possibility a pause in the trail I am engulfed in fear Forgetting Everything is All Right His steps firmly planted supporting each stumble tenderly cradling ...each need. abating doubt once more and once more again unaffected by the uncertainty He carries each burden my boulder, His stone and securely...

SL/RL Synthesis Note (48): "Life Is Worth Living"

The news of the Death of Don Cornelius by suicide came as a real shock to me. Contemplating how a man who seemingly had it all, ...wealth, fame, legacy… could not find happiness or understand his value and purpose enough to feel the value of LIFE opens the way to consider what we make priority. Its caused me to reflect deeply on my relationships in Life, first and second and the number of people I encounter who are hurting so deeply, although wearing a fearless mask, and are struggling to find their value and purpose too. Life is complicated, and people never change when things are going well. Our world is filled with messages that...

Living In Fearless Emotion (a poem)

Living In Fearless Emotion Born from Divine Oneness Seeking destiny Human flesh makes tangible Infinity… The reality of life And its guarantee Is that each day Will be filled with uncertainty Sometimes we laugh Sometimes we cry Living In Fearless Emotion We wonder “why?” Every tear, on each face Tastes the same Doesn’t matter the difference In color, place or name Life’s test is to question The things that we see Although born from perfection We’re part of life’s impurity Divinely chosen existence We experience vibration hurt, joy, fear, pain Live to feel each sensation Walk life’s journey as our body...

Don't Try To Fix Me (a poem)

Don’t try to fix meI am not brokenYou’ll get a sprainfrom that ego you strokin’ That horse you’re ridin’May seem highBut my face still meets yours Eye to eye You look at meAnd what you see?A projection ofYour personality… From strokin' that egoTo beating my wallI built it to lastYou want it to fall If you saw through the cracksShining light on meWould you be afraidOf what you see? I am a mirrorTo your soulClues to what’s underThe martyr you extol Make me a distractionSo empty insideThough relieved for a momentInner hunger unsatisfied. Don’t try to fix meI am not brokenYou’ll get a sprainfrom that ego you strokin’ Infinite directionsOur paths’...

SL/RL Synthesis Note (47): "2012: The End?"

Welcome to 2012! Is this the end? I knew it was coming. I got my first “store-some-water-and-food-the-end-is-coming-in-December” note from one of my in-world acquaintances. Let me get on top of this thing RIGHT NOW! (chuckles) For the past year there has been a lot of hype around the end date of a 5,125-year-long Mayan calendar. December 21, 2012 is supposed to bring a huge occurrance. Spiritualist believe there will be a consciousness transformation and scholars believe the abuse of natural resources will come to a head in cataclysmic events. There are of course people who believe it’s all bogus and the biggest thing that will happen on 12/21/2012...
