We're about to celebrate "Thanksgiving" here in the 'States, which I just realized as I was about to post this poem. So so much more the appropriate. This poem goes out to all of my friends ("friended" here or not) in the heartfelt thanks I celebrate in having Drew & Be's Enchanted space, fore without it I wouldn't have known them. I feel especially grateful that Eve and Tabi have returned too, after a long absence.
~ I Wish for You ~
I wish for you That all your years Be filled with love And free of fears
I wish for you A Spiritual Guide To bring out the beauty You have inside
I wish for you In your own reflection Compassionate friends Of the same direction
I wish for you A family to care Children to love Warmth to share
And I wish for you My Treasured friends That your happiest moments Never end
I know my wishes Will all come true 'Cause you wish for me As I wish for you

I just altered two of Jason's pics of his little one, uploaded them, then... I read his blog! Wow, this guy's family: Not only is he a Greenman (my last name says I'm descended from them) but he's a big fan of Joseph Campbell too!
Anyways take a look at the magic in these two kids, and while you're at it remember what it was like. (I've never stopped! ;^)
For months now I and others here have been worried about Eve, with no one able to connect with her. She's someone who sacrificed everything to help those kids in the hospital with the humongous number of costumes she'd hand-sewn for them. Someone who's heart goes out to all. Well... She's doing great! I finally found her through a long and extensive search, and she's been incredibly busy (sold out weeks before Halloween) as well as that she can't log in to Enchanted (she'd had this prob before, but now it's perm), so that's why we haven't heard from her.
She tells us "I will return someday, when the mist lifts. no more worrying, okay?"
My thanks goes out to Angelia, aka "Gossamer Wings" on MySpace. (Her own wings featured on the current "FAE" mag cover, which in no way slowed her down in connecting us.)

To my friend Jane...
You were the perfect little girl Pouring your tea with cake All while being abused Hiding your heartbreak
Jumping and playing, oh... Ballet leaps and fun! But when the illness invaded The dancing came undone
Those critical memories returned Dragging you down in pain Lost vision... bleeding skin Seizures took your brain
Now shut down, now hidden Caught in a tanglewood world Yet you strived to understand A caring flag you unfurled
For "Remember not" Was all you'd wanted When friends Tabi and Ickle Took you away, undaunted
Yet Ickle loved the fae Tabi took you to Enchanted 100% faerie dedicated A faery ring was granted
You created baby faeries Testing wings on a rainbow slide From a wonderful stained-glass beacon The children watched them glide
Your sharing gave others hope A real friend where once was none Your wisdom, magic, and specialness Light from a golden Sun
For you'll not put up with suffering Your faery nymphs will untangle You'll just keep on reaching out Even if upside-down your angle!
So, if Life is but a journey... Giving and sharing amongst it's graces Wont you give out this breath of life? You'll see it in the faery's faces!
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
This is kind of an "inside poem," where knowing Jane makes it all the easier to understand. Sooo... Go and visit her. Get to know her. She's the kind of person Angels aspire to be, a beacon of selfless giving.
I've just spent the afternoon working on... flying fish wings? Well heck, I've not been able to photograph them, so I had to try a drawing... (good thing for my pen tablet!). Anyways, here are the 8 faeries and pixsea (with flying fish wings) from the Celtic Fest we just had. Also a pic of our Ent!
Cheers!
Kristy sports her new wings, while Nora, Iona & Shemaiah pal up.
This faerie spies upon me, while Kimi the Valkyrie just scares me!
