A Voyage Before Dreaming

1 A Voyage Before Dreaming

Dreams are where our minds roam free, unfettered to travel wherever they may go. There are no limits and can be an inspiration for great things when we awaken.

Sadly, I rarely remember my dreams, so I’ll take my voyage before dreaming.

Conducting Fireflies

1 Conducting The Fireflies

When I was a child, I spent countless summer evenings conducting fireflies. No, they aren’t actually musical, but if you watch them long enough you will begin to notice a rhythm to their movements: slow and intermittent at twilight, building to a crescendo as twilight deepens. As darkness descends, it is nearly impossible not to join them in their dance of mystical, musical whimsy.

I remember once catching them and putting them in a jar with holes punched in the top, hoping to experience their magic at any time of day. But in the morning, they were dim, sluggish and dark. Running outside, I opened the lid and released them, watching them slowly wander around the ground momentarily before taking flight – little jewels of black and red against the sunny sky.

I never captured fireflies again. Their beauty and majesty can only be appreciated when they flicker among the stars, creating a masterpiece that diminishes in captivity.

1 And Fireflies Alight The Night

Pose Fair 2015, a Hottie Cooterati event, opens at noon on April 11. It runs until the 25th, so be sure to stop in to find the latest creations by the best posemakers on the grid. Today I am featuring Pose Fair Exclusives from Dream Print Poses. The poses in my photos are from her Blogging collection and will not be sold after the event ends. I will update my post with the SLurl to the event once it is officially open. (Now open!)

Also new is the Aussie Bush Hat I am sporting, from JfL Hats. With Anzac Day coming up on April 25th, it is timely as well as fashionable. Do stop by to say G’day to John and take home this Aussie classic for yourself.

Taking A Break

1 Taking a Break

While gardening in Second Life isn’t as strenuous as in Real Life, it’s a perfect excuse to take a break after weeding and planting. Snuggling with your significant other can be as refreshing as a day at the spa.

Well, maybe not, but it does give you a warm feeling when you curl up in his lap on a soft blanket 🙂
