Living In The Fairytale World Of Second Life

I can hardly believe I have lived and worked in a fairytale virtual reality world for the last 8 years. There is something truly remarkable about the virtual world, Second Life.

Second Life has everything the real world has - magnified, it's an exaggerated reflection of the real world, both good and bad. But let's not forget the magic.

Today Dolly and I were setting up screenshots for our new mesh pine forest when some fairy friends dropped by. I'm often visited by fairies since I am one, some of the time. But today , after viewing these totally spontaneous screenshots (windlight and fairy dust added) it really did make me stop and think, not for the first time,  ..... what a wonderful place Second Life is, it's a truly magical world. Where else can you be busy working and be interrupted by the visits of fairies and I have the screenshots to prove it.

What you see below is a tiny glimpse into a magical moment that happened today in Second life

 Dolly Heart thinks to herself ...
 "I do love fairies, but I couldn't eat a whole one."


Recently Dolly and I transformed into forest elementals -  larger than fairies and a tad scary but fundamentally the same DNA. We'd been human for too long ...  time to be more virtual, time for change, time for Fairy Power !

I always knew Second Life and Virtual Worlds were an important medium, from the first time I logged in 'I got it'. Eight years later I am not surprised to learn it still has the power to amaze and delight me.

What have I learnt in eight years ?

1. Don't trust appearances
2. Change is gonna come
3. Many a mickle makes a muckle

Also .....  Welcome to the Fairytale King Ebbe. Please be gentle with this world, as you can see .... it has fairies.
