Jars in the wind

The sky was cloudy, and yet colourful. A weird silence around, broken only by some wind gusts, stroking the scanty grass and rocks.. I was alone, actually alone. I thought about how I was little in the immensity of the landscape. I looked at the huge jars, wondering if they ever talked to someone while resting in the desert. I listened. No voice, just the wind.

King of Everything

Listening to:

I’m only flesh and blood
But I can be everything that you demand
I can be king of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand..

Winter Memories

While I was walking along the sweet sim of Yasminia, wrapped into my wool sweather in the late autumn breeze, watching some horses there, a sudden memory came back to visit me, a memory of Africa. Memories of the cold breeze’s feeling at dawn, when the nature wakes up, and the animals get ready for a new day. Memories of different chills, maybe different animals.
I can’t write poems. So I found this one, from Tirzah Gilmore, to give voice to my melancholy feeling. I’m grateful.

Dawn’s First Light

The sun rises over the African plain
And dawn’s first light softly wakes the sleeping birds
As it creeps to brighten the farthest domain.

Now the fleeing darkness whispers to the herds,
“Make use of the daylight until I return.”
Slowly, they shuffle to their feet at these words.

While the day moves on, the sun starts to burn
Making the grasses glow with its golden heat,
And the animals’ stomachs begin to yearn.

They all disperse, looking for something to eat,
Till sun and horizon will once again meet.

Talking to the birds (at The Trace)

Wish you a very good new week, guys.
My blog post today is first of all to let you know that the Fashion Show where I modeled last friday night was a success, thanks to the commitment of many different people. I think also the amount of money raised is totally satisfying, and I think people had fun watching elegant models walking the catwalk, dance, and …strip, showing their breasts as a reminder to the fight against cancer. So thanks from my hearth to all those who organized and to the generous donors, of course.

Second, related to that event, I’d like to show you the second outfit I used that night, and despite it’s long, it was not so impossible to dance on stage with it! Its an Asteria dress combined by me with two different color options, since the dress is available in many different shades. I love this dress, the bandana accessory, and the textures quality.
The pictures were taken by my friend Phuoc Hanh (thanks! Full photoshoot on his Flickr) on a wonderful sim I really love, The Trace, in its summer version. The Second Life claim of this lovely place on the SL Destination Guide says “come see serenity at it’s best”, and if you visit you really won’t be disappointed about that.
I spent also a lot of time talking to a nice bird, which is something I really recommend to anyone who wants to reconnect with his/her true nature. He told me interesting things about living into the wildlife.. but I’ll tell you more when I’ll meet you inworld 🙂 See you at the beach..

My (event) outfit:

HAIR | VANITY HAIR Amina HP-Black
DRESS | ASTERIA Stela outfit (mixed: purple pattern tank + lavender skirt) with Bandana
SHOES | MAITREYA Gold Shiki * Black
NECKLACE | MAXI GOSSAMER Shell – Teardrop (V1)
EARRINGS | MAXI GOSSAMER Octavia
BANGLES | *MM* Resin Bangles (bit old, can’t find any link, sorry)
