The Way of the Sun

Fantasy Faire 2019 slurls and urls

Keepers-of-the-Eternal-Flame

The Way of the Sun, the Moon, the Stars…all created from a special magic.  Their fire and light, their depth and magnificence never end, shining forever in our hearts and souls and minds.

From the start, the Sun’s rays wrapped themselves lovingly around these glorious Fairelands. Year after year, these realms glow with delight and focus and wonder. And year after year, every Fairelander’s level of commitment inspires awe. This year, Fairelanders raised more than 16 million lindens — more than $66,000 USD — dedicated to the beautiful cause of creating the Hope Hostel in Kenya for cancer patients and their care givers.

It’s hard to wrap your mind around $66,000 USD raised in 18 days, with people from all over the world. Many who know each other. Likely far more who don’t. All of which makes the heart, the soul, the resolve focused to one goal nothing short of amazing. FF chat-lore has it that more than 15,000 or so avies visited the realms over the last 18 days. Whatever the actual number may be, one thing is certain. It’s alot. What’s even more apparent is the depth of this shared resolve to make a difference. And boy was that resolve matched — and how — to a level of impact that really is beyond measure.

I’m always speechless on this the last day of the Fairelands. And I’m always, eternally grateful. Thank you dear World Creators and everyone who toils and gives shape and form to these magical lands. You’ve done it again — together, we’ve all done it again…created dare I say, something akin to perfection and somehow made it all look easy. Thank you for creating such magnificent substance to mirror our community’s shared passion and for celebrating the magic in all of us…making this event, time, and place something truly born out of genuine love. One as powerful as that magnificent Eternal Flame in all worlds that never, ever fades.

Shine on brightly, ye fellow warrior Stars. Every day in every moment until next year’s Fairelands and beyond.

Day 11 ~ Feather Light

1-da2-in-the-light

Yesterday was Day 11, but like a ray of light, as breezy as a feather, I’m floating into today. Yesterday was also the last day of the official SL Fantasy Faire events. Word has it that some surprise pop-up events are planned on these days that now constitute the extended FF days. We have until May 5th to explore these lands — and they are absolutely glorious, mesmerizing even. I have stalked several of the 16 realms and hope to stalk them all before the official close on May 5th. My blog entries for this event will be less of the daily sort; maybe just 2-3 more to come. But I’ll keep posting Faireland-related pictures to my flickr account on somewhat regular basis.  As of yesterday and into today, the Fairelands Fellowship — all who make this magnificent event possible and all of us who swarm to it with delight — have been knocking on the door to L10 million lindens. Looks like we’re less than 500,000 lindens away from that milestone. Word also has it that when we reach L10 million (or $40,000 USD equivalent), a generous and wonderful anonymous soul has committed to match that amount with a $20,000 USD donation!  If any group can do hit the $40,000 USD mark, this one can. All the heart and soul and commitment live right here. Forever and ever.

Day 10 ~ Magic

A Look from the Fairelands (details and slurls after the pictures)

I’m a day late after a worldwind expedition through the Fairelands. But the Fairelanders are marching ever forward with their goal to raise as much lindens as possible. By the close of last night’s masked ball, Fairelanders crashed through the L8 million dollar mark, raising the equivalent of $32,000 USD! Today is the Live Auction, which is always fun and emotional to watch. The commitment in all who participate in these Fairelands is magical…quite moving indeed. Speaking of moving, I started the Fairelands Quest! I found the Professor but now I’m stumped, laughing! I shall keep keeping on…just like all of us who have committed so thoroughly to this noble deed of finding a cure. Onward!

Time certainly is weird in the Fairelands. Felt like just yesterday that these wondrous lands revealed themselves again and here we are a mere handful of days away from the close of official events. The good news is that these gorgeous builds (and RFL vendors) will remain until May 5th. But there’s no time like the present, so dive back in. Explore and celebrate the beautiful heart and soul of this event and all who make it possible and participate with abandon. All of us are making a real difference. We truly are.

Day 8 and the Fairelanders have hauled in more than L6 million or the equivalent of $24,000+ USD! And we’ve still much more of the Faire to go, thank goodness. There’s so much beauty here – in the lands, in the myriad of activities, in the focus. Today, I found a tranquil spot to relax, just outside of the magnificent Worldlings area (do visit and see the wonderful art exhibit by a range of inworld artists), which is tucked beneathe the always breathtaking Fairelands Junction. This, after taking photos in Tensor’s Flying Market, which I admit to stalking. It’s been a worldwind of a day but it can’t be helped. The Fairelands overflow with such creativity and heart, and all for one purpose – to eradicate cancer. Details and slurls after the pics. Be here now and evermore, Prettiest Star.

Day 7 ~ Guardian

Twilight-Spring4-for-web

We’re all Guardians, fierce yet loving Warriors in this most noble of crusades to eradicate cancer. And we’re making such a powerful impact. By the close of the sixth day (yesterday), Fairelanders raised more than 5 million lindens, the equivalent of more than $20,000 USD. That’s astounding, especially since we’ve not yet arrived at this year’s halfway point; this year’s fair runs for 18 days (with formal programming concluding on Monday, April 29th, but shopping, questing, and exploring continuing until May 5th). This is also the second year that the American Cancer Society asked Fantasy Faire to focus on a special project: the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. In 2018, the Fairelands raised $50,000 US Dollars to aid in the construction of the first Hope Lodge to be built outside the United States. This year’s dollars will continue the efforts of that project, efforts which are now underway. Who knew that pixels could pack such punch… Fairelanders knew. SecondLifers knew. Indeed, we know. So, dive back inworld, all ye Great and Grand Guardians of Hope.  For the Cure!  Details and slurls after the pics.
