Groove

The word “groove” has many meanings in English. It could be the groove on a gramophone disc, but who knows it today in the era of CDs, mp3, mp4, etc. It is also a term for music rhythm in pop, jazz, funk, rock music, power groove, vision or soul. Or it is a synonym for "cool". Sometimes we say: "It was a groove." This last meaning of “groove” in verb form is that I have in my head. To rejoice in something, to be happy and contented, to be enthusiastic about something.

However, sometimes we need some silence and humility. The world around us and inside us is accelerating with such high speed that we do not feel in everyday life. The small church (or is it a chapel?) is shining in red sun and is luring to visit. I have also succumbed to temptation, have entered and have sat on one of the banks. The sunlight has penetrated through the high gothic windows and I did not want to leave.

Nevertheless, I have stood up and have gone to explore the new terrain. Longer stony road has taken me to a vast castle, of which sharply cut features have come into view against the sky. And if the dark has fully descended, so only vague silhouettes of small houses in castle neighborhood have flashed there.

Next day I have wandered on long and empty plain. To my surprise I have seen some building in the light of the new sun. It has stood there lonely in the middle of nothing such a solitaire in a big garden. I have let it with its calm and loneliness and have continued forward.

Sun has achieved the highest point of its way and I have settled for a small shade and cool touch of the breeze form the see. Maybe the lighthouse will switch on its big light eye and will allure …


But now back to the reality, respectively virtual world. This babblement here at the beginning has some base in homonymous sim in Second Life. Although it is called Groove, generally we call it “The City by the Friends”. It offers several possibilities of an economic character, an accommodation and an entertainment like the other sims in SL. You can rent some shop space, room in a hotel or in one in the old cold castle with some fireplace to warm or some house with two floors. Enjoy also the local gallery, the movie theater or the dance club.

"To be, or not to be there, aye there's the point? And where? And how much is cost?", if I paraphrased the Shakespeare’s text of Hamlet.
