In sleep he sang to me, In dreams he came,
That voice which calls to me, And speaks my name.
And do I dream again?
-- Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe, Mike Batt

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space...
-- Lord Byron

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark...
-- Amy Lee

From darkness did all hunger come,
With passion did all hunger feed,
And so, all passion stems from a darkness...

bzzzzzzzzt!

I had this townhouse out at the mall and did not realize I had forgotten to put a sales box with it. Today I made that discovery and well, color me embarrassed. If anybody tried to get this beautiful townhouse and could not, you will now be able to get it free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy it and that it will enhance your region with another original build by me. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This beautiful Pillar House was specially built for a dear friend's region to accommodate a people in her RP story. I am also making it available to others in Open Sim who would like it for their own regions. It features 3 levels, the first level being open for comfy outdoor activities like picnic or just lounging, the 2nd level is nice for living and cooking space and the top floor is for sleeping and bathing. It has a wrap around porch and is constructed of granite in various colors, polished brass and beautiful dark wengwood. Constructed to last many years, theoretically, of course. It can be found in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. It is full perm and free and waiting just for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for givin' the devil his due
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
-- Donald Roeser, R Meltzer

Do you want to feel the burn?

I have a block of small cottages ready for you to buy for $0 and this cute Gothic One-room School House. It comes with the furnishings so your students can start learning right away! ;) The bell in the tower rings on touch. It is all boxed up with everything you need.
Thanks for coming! ALL are Welcome!

Barber Shop
The only scripted items are the barber pole, the waiting bench, the curtain, and the door. The barber chair is a BYOA (Bring Your Own Animations) item, but hopefully someone will find this of use.

Pickup is at the OSW Exclusive gift area, located below. If you have issues arriving there directly, you can use the OSW door to your left once arriving in the subway to access the exclusive area.

Looking for a way to expand your region or grid's reach and bring people back to your region or grid? Well here is that opportunity! Your own shop allotted 1500 prims in our Mall's Showcase Plateau! That's right, your shop and prims at no charge up to 1500 prims. You can display your work here and include a land mark back to your region/grid's shop or mall. Does it have to be a shop to give stuff away? No, it can be a shop simply to display what you have built and it can be in the form of slide shows, pictures, sculptures, or items unique to your creation. We want to let you showcase what you love so others can enjoy it as well. This is another way we can network and get to see the work of the many incredible creators here in Open Sim. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Chapter 9 - The Oracle, from my book Eos Renascent, is now on Wattpad. You can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

"The ambassador bowed her head with a look of sorrow. 'Then I am lost and do not know the way forward in this world,' she replied.

'You do not want this world,' the Oracle replied in a softer tone. 'The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Love cannot be taught or learned, for there was never a time when you didn't know it. It is all-encompassing, forming the essence of what you are. Your journey will end when you have recognized all that Love is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone.' ”

Zensational takes on a magical allure when viewed through a monochrome lens, enhanced by @Fredzee @FerdFrederix this is the City just beyond the City Gates. You can click the tower and perch up on the top for a beautiful view. Thank you Ferd 💗🏯

Discoverygrid running entirely on OpenSim NGC 8940 dotnet8. Massive improvement over previous mono release and faster than core's dotnet release. Will share the improvements with them. Meanwhile, testing the region for this weekend's 8th anniversary party,m airshows, and pyromusical. 80 bots, 80 sound HUDs, lots of aircraft.

At the present time, Amoa Nude Beach is experiencing technical difficulties. I cannot say how long this will take to repair, but I apologize for this asset issue happening a second time in 2 weeks.

It is apparently being caused by Dreamgrid software that I, nor the grid owners have control over, which causes a failure of assets.

So we have missing textures, failing scripts, body in-completions among the most notable. I will have to redo alot of it again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@FerdFrederix, created magic again last night 🏯He added the Grand Tower to Zensational. You will find the main TP with a menu to choose all the destinations of the region, the Grand Tower is located in the City just beyond the City Gates. Thank you, Ferd, I love your magic 💕🪄 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

How would you like to run your own private AI Server at home? Now you can. Go to ollama.ai and download it, run it, get llama3 model. Ask it any question. It runs in only 4gb of ram. It's amazing! Give it a try! Runs on mac/windows/linux. :)

"Keep Your Dragon Flapping" script has been updated by me. I created this script because I would go to tour a sim and see a dragon flying in the skies and it's wings would have quit flapping, so it's just sliding across the sky. Putting this script in with your script that animates the dragon will keep it flapping forever and you never have to reset it. This also works for flying cars, flying spaceships, birds, etc.

The red letters you see - that is my note of thanks to the contributors to the latest surf project. I hope everyone who gets a copy of this latest version will respectfully leave that part of the script unchanged before adding their own improvements. This is one of the rezzers going into the world today (or tomorrow depending on when Marianna is back). Cheers. Much love. Surf's up. haha

The sun has set at Zensational, the City Gates lighting is just coming on. The City tower is a place to perch and observe the view. Thank you @FerdFrederix, this is definitely magic. 🪄 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

A work in progress.
