back again

I haven't felt inclined to write for awhile. My experiments on Second Life have been more to do with examining why I am most attracted to my Japanese woman avatar. And why do my virtual landscapes incorporate a lot of sand and sand-loving flora, when my neighbours are into darker, more dense and mysterious plantings. Is it because I was myself conceived on an island and spent a lot of time throughout childhood and beyond visiting this sandy, lovely, island? The island landscape is deeply etched into my soul.

Elila has had several avatar forms. She started out as an ethereal lightworker with a long blond plait and blue faery wings. Now I've named her Saphira, being as I am, very attracted to the idea of the last Japanese dragon (Naga). The passion for this intrigues me.

I recognize in myself a sort of asceticism as well as a love of richness. I like the fact that Naga Saphira is a meditative garden where you can do tai chi, or sit in meditation, or cuddle in the ponds,  or just walk from garden room to garden room.

I've incorporated a little visual story. In the forest there is an infant unicorn. She is new born and very magical. Horses gallop to see her. All the horses, except one, are made of ice. The exception is a brown and white horse that is half light, half flesh and blood. The meaning, for me, is that the little magical one is melting the hearts of the icy horses, making them into flesh and blood, and infusing them with light. One day all the horses will be flesh and blood and light.

I hope my land will be visited often, so that you can see the story unfold.
