The Twilight Cathedral (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/twilight/34/128/29) seemed as interesting a starting place as any. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a lush environment of marble and vegetation. This seemed indeed to be a place of interest.
I was, however, slightly disappointed - for a cathedral, there was relatively little to see and do - it seemed a somewhat paltry, half-baked location, and I was quite frankly disappointed in the meager efforts.
Indeed,I realized that size was not everything after my next visit: The Holy Angels Cathedral (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ridens/50/99/43). Despite its diminuative size, I could tell that this location had a lot more love put into it. (Or at least, they seemed to focus a bit more on the angels, and quite frankly, they could have done worse than that!)
Upon my arrival, I saw, framed about me, the legendary leaders of the skies, Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.
And this was no mean place either - from the schedules posted outside the doors, I could tell that this was an actual place of congregation for those who could assemble in the physical reality.
The last place I visited before I retired unto the heavens was this lovely location: that which celebrated the venerable Saints Patrick and Bridgid. ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Connemara/172/159/26)
Though its interior were modest, I sensed a closeness to the original Cathedral, a closeness to the simplicity which the vast majority of the human race has long since, I find, forgotten to appreciate. After making a donation in the offeratory box, I left the world, thinking to myself that, perhaps, human efforts were not so strange as I had first believed. Indeed, the time may come when I return for another look into this strange subspace.
