A great evening, and getting back to my roots.....

    A few days ago, an old high school buddy... an absolutely wonderful lady that I've been really good friends with since seventh grade, told me that she worked with a gentleman that was on SL, and gave me his name for Facebook.  I thought, WTH!, and sent him a friending......... with really interesting results!
    Turns out that he and his partner in RL, who is ALSO on SL, live just three blocks from me!  We had a lovely dinner together last night, after watching the Kentucky Derby on the telly.  A little wine, good conversation.... how delightful to have such witty, charming hosts, and an evening of intellectual conversation!  And all right here, in my little backwater town!  "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!"  Once again, the blender has mixed my two worlds, and in a truly delightful manner!  What are the chances, in this little town of 13,000 people?  NYC, Chicago, LA... yes, I could see that, but to me, this is a wonderful happenstance!
    My SL son, Spanki,  recently posted on his blog about re-attaching his ears and tail.  I dunno, it just struck a chord with me, somehow....  I dug out my horns, and hooves, and got back to my "Roots" on SL as a Satyr.  Like Neko is to him, it's "me".  A randy old goat, somewhat older, a little more mature (hopefully!)....yet still frisky and playful.  A creature of Myth and Legend, yet very real to me, especially as I age, in many, many ways.... a "balancing" of the duality of human personality... Dark and Light, with a WHOLE lotta Gray areas.  It's an admission of guilt for many things, and also a manifestation of freedom and reconciliation with that guilt.  Maybe it's just the springtime, the Renewal time for Mother Earth, or the RL relationship that is at the same time strange, strained ( the strain comes not in the relationship, but with both of us being tied to family responsibilities, and just don't have the time together that we'd like!) and yet wonderful.... but I "feel" Majick in the air these days.... and needed my "inner self" manifested physically (digitally?) again.  I think a daily dose of majick is good for everyone, whether you choose to use it on a phychological, emotional, spiritual or psychic level.  As I have been guilty of so much recently, don't lose sight of the wonders of life!  Blessed Be, my friends!!!

"Go into the Light, Carol Ann!"
