Ben Dover was the secret code name for the engineer behind the SR71. I recall seeing a documentary about ages ago and started cracking up when he said the code name he was using at the time.

Today, Samsara is a place of silence, reflection, and compassion.

With a humble heart, I honour the lives lost in the heartbreaking tragedy in Venezuela, and the twelve monks who lost their lives during their pilgrimage in Thailand. Though these events happened in different parts of the world, they remind us that suffering knows no borders, and compassion knows no language.

These memorials are not placed here for attention, but as a quiet tribute to those who have passed, to the families who mourn, to the rescuers who continue their tireless work, and to every innocent life forever changed by these tragedies.

May all who have departed find peace. May those who grieve find comfort. May those who continue to suffer find strength, hope, and kindness in the hearts of others.

May we all find our way through Samsara, guided by the wisdom and compassion of Metta.

May all beings be free from suffering. 🙏🕊️🌸

For Anachron and me.
A little dream of happiness
I want to tell you a story about happiness,
it starts so softly, somewhere deep inside.
I close my eyes and drift into a dream,
where the world feels lighter for a while.

I see a unicorn, straight from a fairytale,
its touch so gentle, calm and pure.
I ride away with it through silver skies,
believing for a moment in something unreal.

Then I laugh and I stop right there,
because I know what truly stays.

The real happiness is standing next to me,
no fantasy, no distant star.
Just loving moments, warm and true,
right here, right where we are.

So I don’t tell a legend made of light,
I tell the truth, so simple and real.
About your smile in winter snow,
about the way your presence feels.

The real happiness walks hand in hand,
through snow, through time, through night.
No magic creature, no perfect plan,
just us, and it feels right.

In falling snow we lose all words,
just breath, just laughter, just now.
The world grows quiet around our hearts,
and nothing else matters somehow.

Arm in arm we slowly fall asleep,
our dreams begin to blend.
And I know, so softly, so clear:
This is happiness.
And it stays.

Colors of the Same Sky.
I see a stranger walking down the street,
Different story, different heartbeat.
Some are searching, some belong,
Some have waited far too long.
A boy loves a boy beneath the stars,
A girl loves a girl and heals old scars.
Some are born between the lines,
Still searching for the place that shines.

Why do we build these walls so high,
When every tear is the same when we cry?

Under the colors of the rainbow light,
We're all just souls trying to find what's right.
Different journeys, different ways to fly,
But we all live beneath the same sky.
No matter who you are inside,
No matter where your heart decides,
There is room for you and me,
In a world that's learning to be free.

Some were told they had to hide,
The truth they carried deep inside.
Fighting every day to be,
The person they were born to see.
Not a choice and not a game,
Just a heart with a different name.
Looking for a place to stand,
Reaching for a helping hand.

Why do we turn away in fear,
When understanding brings us near?

Under the colors of the rainbow light,
We're all just souls trying to find what's right.
Different journeys, different ways to fly,
But we all live beneath the same sky.
No matter who you are inside,
No matter where your heart decides,
There is room for you and me,
In a world that's learning to be free.

Sometimes hatred fills the air,
Leaving broken dreams everywhere.
But love is stronger than the fear,
And every voice deserves to hear:
You belong, you're not alone,
Every heart deserves a home.
The rainbow shines after the rain,
A promise rising through the pain.

Under the colors of the rainbow light,
We're all just souls trying to find what's right.
Different journeys, different ways to fly,
But we all live beneath the same sky.
And someday maybe we will see,
Love was always meant to be.
Every heart, every voice, every dream,
Part of the same human stream.

There's a bowling alley you can get from somewhere on OS, it's wrecks your server without much showing up in the logs and no spike in CPU. it's hard to identify. what you looks for in 65 prim bowling_pins that are physical and stacking up at 0,0,0 on the region where the alley is rezzed. if you notice your av movement jittery and laggy on _any_ region - check it out. pretty much only way is to look in your database. they won't show up in area search and trying to get to 0,0,0 on the region is not fun.

65 prims
bowling_pin 0.000, 0.000, 0.000

really the bowling alley needs fixed, it should only set the pins physical when the ball is close and stay physical for only 10 secs or so... the way it is now they are always physical and somehow the rezzer keeps spitting them out and they end up at 0,0,0 hehe.

(mysql) find the evil bowling pins:

SELECT p.UUID, p.Name, p.Description, p.PositionX, p.PositionY, p.PositionZ, pi.Name AS item_name, pi.InvType, pi.AssetID FROM prims p LEFT JOIN primitems pi ON pi.PrimID = p.UUID WHERE p.Name LIKE '%bowl%' OR pi.Name LIKE '%bowl%' ORDER BY p.Name, pi.Name;

then delete bowling_pins and the bowling balls too. you have to hurry and restart the region before it saves the state back to disk (after deleting)

hopefully this helps someone!
