Fairy Dark

Today's location, The Forest Beyond, is an exhibit by Ceakay Ballyhoo. Inara Pey wrote a great post about it, with more details. I went to a reading at the sim by Caledonia Skytower from Seanchai Library, she is such a charismatic reader. They said there might be a second reading later on. The sim has a story you can follow, that includes many of the characters and places (just look for the rocks with "story" on them), but CK is collecting writings about it by other people, too. I liked the use of imagery and writing together. And the art is very unique in style.

When I do count the clock that tells the time

When I do count the clock that tells the time, 
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night; 
When I behold the violet past prime, 
And sable curls all silver’d o’er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves 
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer’s green all girded up in sheaves 
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard, 
Then of thy beauty do I question make, 
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow; 
   And nothing ‘gainst Time’s scythe can make defence
   Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence. 

Sonnet 12: When I do count the clock that tells the time by William Shakespeare

Duty

"I am no longer good through deliberate intent, but by long habit have reached a point where I am not only able to do right, but am unable to do anything but what is right."

From the sustaining air

from the sustaining air

fresh air

There is the clarity of a shore
And shadow, mostly, brilliance

summer
the billows of August

When, wandering, I look from my page

I say nothing

when asked

I am, finally, an incompetent, after all

Women wander

Among Women by Marie Ponsot

What women wander?
Not many. All. A few.
Most would, now & then,
& no wonder.
Some, and I’m one,
Wander sitting still.
My small grandmother
Bought from every peddler
Less for the ribbons and lace
Than for their scent
Of sleep where you will,
Walk out when you want, choose
Your bread and your company.

She warned me, “Have nothing to lose.”

She looked fragile but had
High blood, runner’s ankles,
Could endure, endure.
She loved her rooted garden, her
Grand children, her once
Wild once young man.
Women wander
As best they can.

Friends with talent

I met Virginia, and we became friends, when I went to her HP Lovecraft readings (Tuesdays 5pm SLT) at Innsmouth. She became one of the artists featured at Galleria Kakku. Through her I heard of this exhibit at The Red Gallery, benefiting Team Diabetes of SL. It will open on the 20th. I really love the pictures she made for it. There will be a lot of artists featured and the proceeds go to an important cause. John Brianna (Johannes1977) is also one of the Galleria Kakku artists, and is the 2016 SL coordinator of the charity. He runs The Windlight Art Gallery and works for the Kultivate magazine. You can see, why I had to share this event, I am very happy they are doing such a great event.

Speak the word that sets me free

Laden Autumn here I stand
Worn of heart, and weak of hand:
Nought but rest seems good to me,
Speak the word that sets me free.
