I have to thank you all for the wonderful week we've had in New Taloo!
Miss Niki reopened Le Chat Gris in NTA, Miss Francesca opened her new place, the Green Eyed Fairy, in NT. Carter & Stormy released their Pocket Garden. The Ladies Bauerhoff welcomed us to their new home in NTA. Amber, Abi & Niki helped with my RP event on Friday & The Absinthe Ball last night was a smashing success! Thank you Galla! NTA had a huge Zombie Fest & Miss Obedience Mactavish returned from the dead!
Everyone is welcome at The Green-Eyed Fairy, although I'm still organizing. My graphics card fried yesterday (I have a horrible feeling SL is to blame) so until it's repaired (about a week) I'm on a Stone Age computer, and shan't be in-world as much as I'd like to put the finishing touches. Nevertheless, the Fairy is more or less up and running, so please stop by and play a little ragtime on the piano. There are freebies :)
I just read the news concerning Miss Obedience McTavish her death. I am unconsoled. This full moon brought much change it appears to our community. I was also up dated in the news concerning the November 1st ceremony attended by those who were able: http://gabrielleriel.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
I have felt of late as I walk the streets of New Toulouse the crispness of fall coming, a darkness lengthening leading to change. I responded by looking at my home; making a few changes. But that does not seem to be enough. After reading all of these events I can see why I was feeling this way... since change is truly afoot. Change that is felt in an uneasiness of transformation for each of us --- something new and full of creative energies. Something coming from nothing....
I am hopeful Miss Obedience made her way back to us in one piece.... since I was called off in my travels; as I am each weekend; I was unable to witness her transformation from death into life prompted by the work of Miss Riel and others. I am only hopeful it went well, I have heard nothing. What a trauma it must have been to have life totally and utterly changed for Miss Obedience.
I hope the newness of this past full moon is well guided for each person and yields great benefit. That the dreams that appear between then and now with the wanning moon will sort out what is important and not important for each of us.
I sit here in Les Chat Gris for a break eating a toasted cheese sandwich and coffee with much thoughts - even now as I listen to a bell ringing - its paper tail being whipped in the gentle breezes off the river. I am straining both my hearing and my thoughts to find what it is I am supposed to be doing beyond the mundane - amidst all this change.
I had a dream this morning concerning a dead relative who passed three years ago, he was looking for his glasses and a recipe he told me.... odd so odd. I was able to direct him and I must now look for his glasses and lay them out to meet his needs on a table. I was awaken by a robin beating its self senseless on one of the windows of my room. Now I must also look into the meaning of what a robin would be doing in association with this dream.... maybe the robin was able to awaken me to remember the dream and what I must do? I remember the relative looked upon robins as a sign of Spring; odd this should happen in the fall.
Another newness arising from the decay that is being brushed away. All blending together. Questions that have answers all ready at hand.
Maybe it is the sandwich, or the coffee?
I just hope Miss Obedience is well now and settling into her life once again.
I felt I must respond to these messages and thoughts today.
