Out on
another of my walkabouts, trying to find something to spark my interest and
help the ink flow from my pen I stumbled across Gwen and her husband to be in
real life Ze Verino. A hopeless romantic is what I will always be, so with this
article I am going to embrace that.
Looking
through the daily event's I saw a posting for a live act. I tend to try and
catch those when I can, and even though I hadn't heard of the artist before I
decided to pop in. As I slowly rezzed I was able to see Palazzo Celesiale
slowly coalesce around me. As the world sharpened into view, I was immediately
intrigued by the stone work textures used. A roman feel, with touches of color
to accent the warmth of the stone.
I
hadn't heard anything yet, the sound was having issues in the zone so I satisfied
myself by looking around. A crackle... and then a laugh breaks the silence. Our
artist has finally found her voice and what a lovely one it is. "I am so
sorry everyone, technical issues *nervous laughter*" Gwen says.
Technical
issues happen to the best of us, as I tell her. Being a stage performer as well
I can respect the grace with which she handles the problem. Entertaining her
guests as she diligently works to correct the issue. Never a drop in her
conversation, or humor as she struggles to repair her show, to save her voice
in order to share it with all of us.
I am
drawn to performers who truly love their craft. It's not just a living, its a
need... a drive that you can't walk away from. You can tell from how they
handle their show, how they control their stage just how much they really want
to be there. This young lady, had caught my attention in a big way. Finally,
something to write about.
I read
through her profile, and the first thing to jump out at me is she is partnered.
I chuckle, more than a bit jaded about Second Life romance and I keep reading.
I see that they are a real couple, able to hold each other in the real world.
Able to truly share their lives. A love they found, in this world. Now more
intrigued then ever, I begin to wonder if I have found a couple able to help
me, save others.
Here
for a show, but what I find is a shining example of just what Second Life is
capable of creating. Sure there is a lot of heartache here. There is a lot of
pain to be had, a lot of users and perverts around every corner but that isn't
the end of our world. It is only a footnote.
This is
the true story of Second Life. It is love, finding your passion in whatever
form it takes and if you are very lucky, finding someone to share it with.
May my words touch your heart, and your day be a beautiful
one.
Artis
