Leave Crete and come to us waiting where the grove is pleasantest, by precincts sacred to you: incense smokes on the altar, cold streams murmur through the apple branches, a young rose thicket shades the ground and quivering leaves pour down deep sleep; in meadows where horses have grown sleek among spring flowers, dill scents the air. Queen! Cyprian! Fill our gold cups with love stirred into clear nectar - Sappho, tr. M.Bernard. |

I wish I could match Eral's sublime opener for my birthday wish to you... I was trying to think up some inspirational words, and at this time of night, all I could thing of is Nellie McClung, for some reason. No poetic beauty; just tough practicality: "Never apologize, never retract, never explain. Get the work done and let them howl."- Nellie McClung |

Thanks, everybody! Eral, I lurve that poem. I had a nice, mellow day. I had all sorts of wacky hijinks planned for the weekend, but decided I was close enough to burning out and have spent the weekend reading and drinking beer. It's been GOLORIOUS. Not a bad way to kick off my late 20's. You know, I always thought the hobbits did it right. It's much easier to keep track of things if you give everybody else presents on YOUR birthday, instead of having to remember theirs. |

Umm, no. Lots of presents on your birthday and general celebration of your existence is the go. Drinking beer and kicking back is good, too. Glad you liked the pome. :) I pride myself on my birthday accolades, and I thought that one was pretty good. Apt.
