Long Way – Point Five – City

“I am seeing a big city of which glory is touching the stars.”
This prophecy of duchess Libuse is related to our today’s capital – to Prague. (Note: Libuse was a character from ancient Czech legends and myths.) So, nobody even then could know or foretell two years ago what this city would be like and if its glory would touch the stars. It is obvious that I am speaking about our Second Life city Bohemia that however is placed ion sim Czechoslovakia.

Like duchess Libuse foreseen into the future from the depths of history and time then maybe the creators even seen Bohemia and their imaginations were imprinted into the city walls and plains. Particle by particle was approaching and connecting each other, and pixels and prims grew by addition and multiplied until the final city look came into the world. However, that was another place.

Shadows – Secret places – Dark corners and retreats – Roads that pass nowhere – People that do not exist – Silence and darkness. Like when The Childlike Empress and Bastian determined destiny of Fantasia in the final moment of The Neverending Story movie. Like when some spiral rise up thread by thread or fall into itself and then gets lost.

There were a grain of sand and some wish, then other wishes and then more other wishes to be born the world. The mists of Avalon are disappearing and I am seeing the big city that is stretching over the whole area from edge to edge. However, a period of time is long.

The move – physical and maybe psychological, will induce the birth of another city on different place and this city will be the same. So, we can find it there today too. It is not other due to its outward appearance, but it is other due to its internal identity.

Silent and empty Bohemia.
