Summer

Summer with the biggest probability has already ended, at least here in the north hemisphere. Even if so called “beldam summer or St. Martin's summer or St. Luke's summer” has come, nevertheless the long and slow rains and cold had come. It is this one what is getting behind your nails, just autumn and its sleet. In spite of that, our so called “frog ladies” promise us more “beldam summer”. Maybe.

Footnote 1: “Frog ladies” is some familiar name of the nice ladies that make the weather forecast on TV. It is linked with some species of frog – tree frog, in Latin Hyla arborea. Historically, it is famous as some barometer, because it reacts to the change of pressure, which varies usually before rain. This frog begins croaks after that.

Footnote 2: “Beldam summer or St. Martin's summer or St. Luke's summer” (or ecological year period called as late summer) is name of long-term dry, sunny, warm and not so much windy weather at the end of summer or at the beginning of autumn. This phenomenon arises at the European continent. During this period, one can often observe free floating webs of the small spiders. In past, these webs suggested gray “beldam” hairs to people. The name of this period originate from thence.

Unlike our world, the weather plays no role in Second Life. The weather is given by the builders of the given sim. In our power there is only to change daytime, respectively to change the sky and water as possible as can be do it to our own idea.

It is only about it to find a suitable sim, where some party takes place, for example by the pool. An then to sink into cool water, take a beautiful woman in the arms and only to have a rest and to enjoy. Other people are coming and leaving, party is in full swing and a pleasure music is playing.

Sun is overcoming the highest point of its orbit and the it is slowly bending down to sunset. Soft see wind is bringing a relief after the hot day. Gradually all people are disappearing. Only I am staying and listening the singing of wind and far see. Sun is drawing to the end of its daily orbit and it is undergoing subsidence into the see as a great light cataclysm.

Summer never ends.

The Ravine

This one, who for the whole own life is being strong brave and strong persistent to look in the darkness, then that one will see as the first a flash of the light.

Dmitry Glukhovsky: Metro 2033
We are attended by the darkness sooner than we are born into this world. We are attended by the darkness every day, when we sink into to the Morpheus's arms to become anyone we want to be in our dreams. The darkness is present in each of us, because we are maybe afraid of us ourselves, all others around us or all things around us.

The darkness is in hiding in all the corners, it rises from the deep abysses of the Earth, it fills the deep valleys and the ravines. The darkness attracts all material one even an immaterial one, the mass and the light. It suffices only to cross yours event horizon and you are irretrievably lost.

And why now at the beginning do I so philosophize, such a fatalistic one? Just at once I has come to me by my remembrance about such event in Second Life. One club was reopened again at one sim of our community. This club has got a strange industrial face, some mixture of the dark and the light. It has burned from the whole space, as if the walls, the floor and even the ceiling have breathed by the own life themselves. For all that, it was not something like the house of Usher in the old tale by Edgar Allan Poe.

First of all, there were people and music that have filled this space, Also there was a lot of beer there. Maybe even “femmes fatales” or men succumbing to their temptation. Maybe only the flashes of the dawn will slash the darkness and we will from now on live in light.

The club “Rockle” has revived again.

One Day

It will be one day and the world will be change.

And then at one day, the world has been really changed itself.

This what it was, now it is not of that what has every been.

The old assurances has been changed themselves into certain real life.

Are we only the freaks or do we take the clear place in the middle of the universe?

Face to face of cruel nature, we are still here.

And then as from the clean sky, the lightning enlightens our tiny existence.

Welcome in the world of the Second Life!
