At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.
If you need me urgent, send me a PM
Happy Birthday to the two of you.![]()

There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
For "WE"
A Happy Birthday message sent today will be carried by a crow,
Over to Estonia where the mysterious "We" calls home.
Exactly why there is a plurality of numbers there, no one really knows,
But they call themselves "Taliesan" when they are alone.
Tal has perhaps bonded deeply with nature, since he loved it very much,
And made it such a part of him that now it is his "other."
Native Americans used to do so with their Spirit Guides so I have heard of such,
A feeling that each rock, tree, and animal is your brother.
So I allow my friend the dignity to refer to himself as "WE",
And just wish for him the best on this birthday.
And may "They" have many more to come, I'm sure everyone agrees,
For the forum can not do with out "them" anyway!
The stars are scattered in the sky like sand shifted through a sieve:
Tomorrow will take care of itself. Today is a good day to live....

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Happy birthday, Taliesin.![]()

To Taliesin
Ex Uno, Plures:
"Young was I once and went alone,
and wandering lost my way;
when a friend I found I felt me rich:
man is cheered by man."

It feels right), Themis, Chava and Basil (we like Edda).![]()
You know, we were congratulated the minute we turned 18. Thing is, a local role-playing center was being opened again and there was a party and we were there with lots of other people. So we let the information of our soon-to-come-birthday out and when the clock struck midnight, we were suddenly congratulated by lots of people.
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
Belated Happy Birthday Taliesin!!! Hope it was a good one!
“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
- Jack London
