Isobel – all the intangible things!

Quiet Moment.

I’ve been on a bit of an unintended hiatus. My video card had to be replaced. It was only a few months old, so I had to go through a warranty exchange with the manufacturer and it took a bit longer than I hoped.

Sometimes, a break is good though. Now with the COVID19 situation, I am working from home. That has been a challenge and I find myself wanting to be back at the office. It’s funny… we are strange, habitual little creatures. “Work” is so awful when it’s all you do, but then you get some “freedom” from it and yearn to go back.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy. ♥

Those quiet moments, few and far between, when the world falls away and you can hear the sound of your own voice again…

GINGER!

As a follow up to my last post, here’s a comparison shot of me as a ginger, which is my normal look. Maybe gingers have more fun, after all… 😀

All credits as per previous post. Skin is 7 Deadly s[K]ins “Baby” and Eyes are Avi-Glam “Lucent” in the color Apple.

Do blondes REALLY have more fun?

I’m a GINGER! I’ve always been a ginger. Since I rezzed this avie into Second Life in 2009. RED HAIR. Not blonde!

But on my last couple blog posts, I tried blonde just to go with the outfit or item I was blogging for my sponsors and…….oops, I like it.

I’m still a ginger at heart. Red hair. Green eyes. Freckles. That’s Izzy.

What do you think? Maybe blonde for fun sometimes…

Je suis allée cueillir une fleur dans les champs…

“I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
Nature without check with original energy.”
Walt Whitman – “Song of Myself”

dreamer.

“Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light;
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”
– W.B. Yeats

I didn’t notice how much my joints had forgotten how to move.

Then September came,
always September.
An Indian summer.
Do you remember?
It was Autumn then.
I passed you in the kitchen.

Hands full of wishes
Eyes full of dreams

Now I pass you only in words,
But somehow my thirst is quenched.
You know how to quell the longing in my heart.

For that, I am always grateful.
Isobel
