There’s a light

“In the velvet darkness of the blackest night
Burning bright, there’s a guiding star
No matter what or who you are.

[...]

The darkness must go down the river of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life.

[...]

There’s a light, light in the darkness of everybody’s life.”

This is not the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I am not Tim Curry in lingery, but I remembered this song today. A very dear friend has a hard time and actually I want to say that not only for my friend, but for everyone feeling down, having a rough time and the like – including myself – that even when it does not look like it, somewhere in this darkness is a light that can shine slightly like coal dying down or burst like a nova. I know that my friends and my RL Partner are those light for me even when i sometimes seem to forget I never do.

So open your eyes and look around, find those little lights and don’t forget, that there’s a light also in your life

I got surprised today when I looked around in SL for a place where I wanted to make my picture. I did actually not plan on the subject but when I found this corner in Lost World by lolmac Shan I remembered the song again I thought of earlier and well it took a life of its own

Square Root of 3 – Nerdy Geek Love

It was very clear from early days that I am a geek, a nerd and that I am proud of it. I loved Sci-Fi, especially Star Trek, since the first time I saw it at the age of 6. I loved museums, exhibitions and the buzz of excitement at the sight of all those historic pictures and figures, not to forget how my eyes gleamed when I saw a huge dinosaur skeleton for the first time, or a double helix..

I found that rather normal that my Dad taught me everything that he knew about computers and I soaked it in like a sponge, helped him programming stuff for the first time when I was 7 and that I built my first own computer without help at the age of 14. And wow I loved biology in school and always have been sad I did not understand physics because it was a tad too mathematic for my brain. *lol*

So I was doing the “For the Love of Science” hunt last night as soon as I heard of it and found some goodies on my way in the hunt and around of it, that I had to show off my little nerdy side in here

And for all the nerdy geeks out there, who did not know the movie “Harold and Kumar” yet or know it and love this passage as much as I did, here one of my favourite love poems. And if you want to listen to it as well, you can find it here on youtube:

“I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed”

Down by the Sally Gardens

“It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take life easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.

In a field down by the river, my love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy , as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.”

Wandering through this beautiful colorful garden brought up the memories of this beautiful old Irish song. I knew I will need to make pictures there very soon but did not find the mood for it until now.

Yesterday after fighting with the Linden-Gods for an hour to get into the Sim, i finally got in and actually wanted to grab a special I missed from elymode. But while I was there I found more that I just needed and while playing around with it at home I heard this song again my head (yes I hear stuff that is not there – shush it lol) and with a smile on my lips I knew where to go.

This place is called Frog’s garden and it is just wonderful, filled with so many different plants, also my favorites: Sunflowers. I really want to move in here, right there at this patch of grass where the sun meets the green and the wind carries over the scent of flowers from all over the garden.

Of course I do not want to deprive you of a closer look to this lovely skin and eyes, so here is a close-up for you
