Birthday Feature For Cindy ~ Blue Ice

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 8, 2008, 1:02 AM



Happy Birthday Blueskye27

:wave:Hi Everyone,
Today is my friend Cindy's birthday =Blueskye27 :iconblueskye27:
Part of the feature I am doing here to honor her includes the final two collaborations that I have been saving to upload today. For anyone who doesn't already know, Cindy wrote poems to go with four of my deviations and assigned her copyrights to benefit my Leiomyosarcoma research fund. Here they are



Here are some of the poems in Cindy's gallery

"Repairman"

You say you’ll fix me
right up. Funny, I didn’t
know I was broken.

"Pieces"

Like thin crescent moons,
you tempt me with the
merest slivers of yourself.

Like crumbs left out
for starving birds,
you give me just
enough to keep
me hungry.

Like inadequate
appetizers, you give yourself to
me in small tantalizing
pieces

and, soon, that will no
longer be enough.

"Faith"

They tell me you’re imaginary,
just words on a page,
not a real person, a posted
picture [that could be anybody].

But you hear my voice
and answer;

that’s real enough
for me.


Please visit Cindy's gallery, read more of her delightful poetry and say happy birthday while you are there...:D


Blue Ice


While we are on the subject of birthdays, Scott and I both have ours in August. To celebrate we are going on a cruise to Alaska. Before you can ask, yes, it is that same big ship I posted an image of last week.

We will visit Glacier Bay the day before my birthday. The last time we were there was in 1997 and the film out of my camera got dropped into the bay, after it was exposed, of course. This time, the only way I will lose my photos is if the entire camera gets dropped into the bay and I am NOT going to let that happen. In the excitement of the planning I did a dA search for blue ice and here are a few of the results. A little preview for my own entertainment... and yours... enjoy!




















Have a great day!
Smiles, CJ :blowkiss:

Hello. I was absolutely knocked out by your Blue Ice feature! So beautiful. Thank you for including "Glacier".
I wish you a wonderful trip to Alaska and hope you have the incredible weather I was lucky enough to get. :)

Isn't it wonderful how nature arranges for all the crack pots to find each other?
:iconmoundchap:
Thank you for the feature, I'm honored!

Have an awesome time in Alaska - I actually live in Fairbanks, and can vouch for the state, it's an awesome place to be! Keep an eye out for orcas, humpbacks, harbor seal, sea otter, bald eagles, and sea lion!

A poem by *Blueskye27


From Seattle to Superstition,
she takes our breath
away
with sunsets and seascapes,
shimmering deserts.
She smiles through pain,
encouraging us with
her words,
her courage,
her singular spirit,
to feel
to fight on
to fly.

"LMS Dragon" by ~FawxCat

This dragon predates my becoming a member of dA. It was made by my daughter, Dawn, when I first learned about my LMS in April of 2006. It was subsequently turned into a logo for my LMS webpage [link] and my support/friend stamp.


"Slay The Dragon"
Please use this stamp in your own journal or shoutboard and/or add it to your favorites to help keep awareness alive for this very rare cancer.

Now there is a stamp that can be used in messages and non-subscriber journals too. Highlight and copy these two (attached) icons and paste them anywhere in dA.

:iconcj-3plz::iconcj-4plz:

"CJ's Thank You Stamp"


...and by popular demand, I have changed these Thank You plz icons so that anybody can use them for their own thank you's.

:iconcj-1plz::iconcj-2plz:

... more plz icons that you are welcome to use in your messages and deviation comments.
