Beeflin noted in class today that a well-trained Companion "can find a place in their hearts for everyone they encounter." I felt a resonance there with how I already love. When I applied to the Guild, I made a comment about how I've spent a fair amount of my SL time looking for love in a lot of places and sometimes finding it. That's been my basic pattern for for most of my eight years on the grid. Some have stayed around longer than others, and many of them have ended in different ways.…

Choosing to live a life of love historically has always been hard for the female sex. All simple choices involved ownership by one man or another... or perhaps celibacy through being embraced by a Convent of various religions.

As anyone can attest to... love is often far from simple and straightforward.. to learn it well is a little like learning the subtleties of an instrument. No wonder women who learned to steer such a course in their lives were often labelled as…

((Transcripted from a message dictated in sign language from Priestess Grail, who continues in her oath of silence))

Thank you to all my brothers and sisters, who continue to support me as I venture deeply in silence, to reflect on the spiritual mission of the Guild.

Please know that my attention and love are ever at your service, though my sign language is improving only slowly. I ask that you continue to seek me out with your questions, your joys, your interests, your…

A fork in the road when seen from the other side is a joining of two paths.

When I first came to the guild, much of my focus in Second Life was taken up with my Jedi roleplay.  At the time, most of my Second Life was devoted to being a Jedi.  At the time, I was very stoic, kind of aloof.  There certainly was not any sensuality in my main Second Life activities.  I joined the guild to address what I saw as a lack in my second life experience.

For years now I have…

   We probably all realize that Second Life is shrinking. Sims are disappearing faster than new ones are added. People die or leave faster than new ones come into the world. Maybe in physical reality the universe is expanding, but in Second Life it's contracting. For Firefly RP sims in particular, the "Verse is shrinking.

   This is probably part of an overall shrinkage of interest in SL, as well as decreased interest in the "Firefly" TV show & "Serenity" movie. There are…

Waiting for shuttle to arrive..... It was a sunny day on Paquin at the Spirit Bath House where we awaited the shuttle to take us on a week long tour through space. We had our bags packed and were ready to face whatever can come out of a journey during which we would visit miriad planets with a exceedingly different atmosphere on each. How can we not discover ourselves without…

With awareness must come action, or the knowledge is wasted. Knowing I am lovable, it matters more than ever that I keep close what nurtures me and set aside what hurts me. It's part of self-love to do that. Thus did I ask someone to change our relationship today to one that I can live with. I need a base-level certainty when bonds reach a certain level of intimacy. He stripped me of it. A question that needed a "no" received an "I don't know." In my experience, that's a "yes." I'm ashamed…
