Tired

Sitting alone in the darkness. That's where you feel it the most; when there's no one else to see it and there's nothing to distract you from the truth. Taking the long road anywhere wears you down, regardless of who you are. Regardless of your strength or power, the things you've lost along the way can reduce them to weakness and powerlessness.
Whether it's the people you've lost, the things you've lost; or more worryingly, the parts of yourself you've lost on the journey. When you're alone in the darkness, with no one watching and nothing to distract; that's when you feel every single moment of what you've lost.

It's cold out there

Another winter, another year over, another year older. And what seems to stand out the most is the coldness of it all. Walking these streets, hearing the faint crunch of snow under foot, Nathaniel looks around at the decrepit, decaying streets that once were filled with vibrant life. Could it be his presence? Did death really follow wherever he wandered?

 Taking the long road, he glanced to the dilapidated houses and defaced shop fronts before stopping to look back along the railings of the park in silence, where children's laughter once rang out through the day. Surely, even in the snow, there should be laughter and play?

After rounding the corner, seeing the abandoned vehicles, he couldn't help but appreciate the solitude in a small way. In all honesty, it wasn't Nathaniel that had ruined this neighbourhood, it was those who took over once they'd left.

Perhaps there was hope though. He knew one way to drive out those that had ruined the area and it would take very little on his part. As dark as the acts may be, it's always possible to find such beauty in dark times.

Finally approaching his destination, sliding the key into the lock, he smiled to himself. Things were about to change, that he knew as he looked out of the window at the square. Just you wait.

Paradise Lost in SL

Many of you may be aware of a performance that occurred last year, an SL first that was hailed by many as a creative masterpiece. Having been part of said event was an absolute honour for me and I have to thank those who gave me the opportunity to do so.

This amazing story, as depicted by the wonderful Basilique Performing Arts group, shows the story of Adam and Eve and how they fell from God's favour. The story is brilliantly formed from John Milton's work and moves gracefully along to the sound of Mozart's Requiem, capturing the raw power of each scene in graphic detail.

Canary 'Becky' Beck is now pleased to announce that for this one week it will be free to register on her website to watch the motion picture of the event. All you have to do is visit her site and follow the instructions here.

Act now, because it is only free until the 19th of September. The film will be available after this date when a ticket is purchased. The post on her blog goes on to state that there will also be an in-world screening of the performance.

Please, please, please show your support for this amazing show. It was a pleasure to be in, it was a pleasure to watch and it is a pleasure to advertise here. Don't forget to watch out for my name in the credits!
