toxicTom: Hello all! *hugs and waves*

EndreWhiteMane: I'm doing OK, just woke up a bit ago, did my morning chores, and having coffee.

ddickinson: I will give you the same little picture I gave Owl. With your real rep and stars that you rightly deserve. (See attached image)

LaPtiteBete: ☑ Pretty good :-p

GhostwriterDoF: Good morning Endre! :)

ddickinson: Here you go, an extra special Avatar for you with both of your bird friends. :-)

LaPtiteBete: When did you get your Bumperlupping back ? [edit : Bumberluppins, sorry... I'm French !! ^^]
\o/ Peanut Butter !!! \o/
** Owls Hug **

ddickinson: It is a lovely picture, I like the stars for eyes and the crazed look. It makes it look like you are on your hunt for more stars. Plus I had it left over from the French invasion image. But all your pictures are so lovely and cute.

*big hug for drawing cute pictures*

ddickinson: Hello, Endre! *big morning hug*

Glad to hear you are doing okay today.

moonshineshadow: *big good morning hug* Hope that your day will turn out great :-)

ddickinson: Hello, Herr Tom! *return hug*

How are you today?

GhostwriterDoF: Howdy Tom. :)

I read about your trek to the mountain steam before dawn.
It sounded wonderful, and even spiritual.

A fine way to celebrate a holiday.

AgentBirdnest: (I'll forgive you this time... After all, you did give us that fancy statue ;-p)

moonshineshadow: *thank you hug* If we all had the stars everyone deserves owl could amount a really huge number of stars when she ninjas all our stars :D

GhostwriterDoF: Well, I'm off to set up for doing some writing, and I'll be off and on again to download
some games that I haven't gotten to yet.

I mentioned that the DoF in my nickname stands for Dances on Fire, an Indian (Spirit) name
given to me. But here is one of my more recent poems that says what it really means, and
describes the journey I had to make to get the name.

A dance in the full eclipse

I have seen the hawk in the morning
and the butterfly in the afternoon.
I have seen the white buffalo before me,
and danced beneath a full eclipse of the moon.

I have heard the heartbeat of the hummingbird
and the flutter of the eagle's wings.
I have heard a song in the prairie's silence
and the rush a mountain stream sings.

I stood at the edge of distant shores
and mused with the stewards of the deep.
I witnessed an ancient Mother reposing
and awakening from her sleep.

I have ridden a painted pony,
through barbed thickets of pain,
to rest before an ancient Father,
upon his round-top mountain fane.

I stepped through the veil of consciousness,
to walk beyond life's horizon,
and danced upon a corona's flames,
at the edge of a full eclipse of the sun.

EndreWhiteMane: Mornin' DD . *hug back*

ddickinson: Do you have anything nice planned for the day?

toxicTom: Very fine, thank you. A little stressed since we try to get our place's chaos under control since on Sunday it's the little one's birthday party (she's getting 4 on Friday). And since at this age the guests arrive with their parents we have to make the flat presentable...
A lot to do, the last few weeks with my long hours working and my wife's working and in-service training we have let things slide... and now we have to face the consequences.

And how are you today? And how is your family

toxicTom: Hello all! *hugs and waves*

ddickinson: After my lovely picnic I went from:

☑ Very good

to

☑ Awesomely good

:-)
