Circle

Circle and its boundary called round are not only geometric objects that troubles students in lectures of mathematics. Circle and rounded shapes in general are nice to see and to touch. One speaks about magical properties of circle. Therefore, many amulets have such shape. Often different things and people are placed to form circle. There is circle symbol for Ying and Yang. Stones and steles are in circle in Stonehenge. Also Second Life is full of such circles, rounds and their 3D-complements – balls and spheres.

However, I would like to talk about other circle. Actually, one speaks that circle has no beginning and no end. This thing has been reminded me after opening and reading of one Email today morning. The beginning is distant time depths of my activity here in SL and it is connected with one small space under a sewerage lid. So, the starting point is at distant Valuta sim. Shinyland was the next stop and also one Friday’s evening. Many people came to nice office there and they listened somebody from the real world, how she presents them one project. The RL picture exhibition and meeting with real people that are part of this project were the next point. Also I met one avatar there that is responsible for this thing in SL. And therefore, it is not always enough exhibitions and parties in SL, so, one exhibition is installed on board ship SS Galaxy, which is anchoring by our Bohemia coast now. It is next point. And what party? Thus, one party will be on Saturday May 2 just on SS Galaxy at 7:00 PM our time (GMT +1, 10:00 AM PDT).

Circle is closed. But is it really circle? After all I said that circle has no beginning and no end. Yes, it is circle, because according definition: “Circle is a part of a plane bounded by a round and the round is set of all points that have same distance from on point, then center.” Just this project is for me the center. How you are already supposing, it is Bwindi Orphans. I wrote about it here. And these points are all my stops (see above). Last but not least, these points are all avatars that contributed to good thing with help of magic pink pigs. They are the avatars that just stand in same right distance from the center to create circle.

Thanks that you are here!
