OKTober MONthly FEAtures!

Hello and Thank You to Anyone who has a chance to read my journal. I know time is precious.

39th SPECIAL Random Feature below!
OKTober MONTHLY Features! [under Kiriban Winners]

Special Announcement I :
I want to thank my good friend Juha
for such an honour to create an art exhibition for me, here: jusuart.deviantart.com/:heart: .
Juha, is such a remarkable artist [feel free to visit!] and a supportive friend

Special Announcement II :
I do not know how to thank whoever the person is who thought to nominate me with the group .  

First, I had congrats from Kaz-D and uae4u but I had no clue what was going on... [now THAT isn't a surprise ] but when finally I did, I about fainted.   Scroll the journal if you want to see the nomination. I was shocked.

For me, it's already a success, simply because there's one person out there who liked my work enough to nominate me. I'll never forget it, and forever be grateful. So THANKS...


<sup>I deeply apologize for my lack of individual responses i.e. Notes & Messages & THANK-U's!

I am EVEN MORE behind than usual but I'm doing the BEST I can.

I am filled with such gratitude that anyone would my work, and/or comment so kindly. It's hard to explain how much this means to me.</sup>

4th
The Nature of SoundShe speaks best when there’s no one to listen,
like fragments of truth on the lips of creation,
but nobody knows when nobody listens.
Speak to me, life, and control my decisions.
Music: The soul, The essence of wisdom;
Hear me. Feel me. I’ll pay attention. A little ditty for NatureMother, thank you for all you have done
Given us rain and the land and the sun
I hope that someday we can finally see
The beauty of Nature and finally free
The nooses of fence and of road and of cable
I hope that one day we’ll know, and be able. Once More
Los árboles, lleno de frutas, de sol,
grítame fuerte en urgente temor,
¡Ardiendo bastante! ¡No más a cortar!
las almas del árboles son muerten
once more.
Let's go, TodayRun away with me; let's see the bay
The trees and rocks that talk and sway
please, come along?
..just you and I..
We can live beside the Ocean's song
today Let it inClose your eyes, into the deep, dark skies
and let it in.
Don’t try to hide.

The hate that burns and turns and squirms
is longing to get out again.

The fight that could end up all right
might turn into another night
Alone.

So give in. Let love win.
And possibly someday you’ll find, that,
given an amount of time,
she comes around and flips
you upside-down
again. All right. She's DivineThe ocean at midnight
The breath of a butterfly
The sun in the morning sky

she is,
and she's divine.

Autumn in ChainsSet free
This autumn in chains
To turn aflame BlackbirdsBlackbirds
Carried by the wind
Or carry it? Cicada CriesWhy cicada
Chill wind carries the sound
Oh why do you cry?

Proceeds made from purchasing this mug go to breast cancer research.

After the first time, I posted the info. here about THE THINK PINK CONTEST, the very next day, my mom told me that my Grandpa's 2nd wife [ my Grandparents divorced when I was a baby, so I've known this woman since I was a baby] has been fighting breast cancer for a while now.  She's currently undergoing radiation.


- Children's Cancer Awareness Stamp by
in honour of her courageous daughter Katie and children similar, everywhere.
This is a link to amazing Katie's site, if one can donate and to read more info. here: www.firstgiving.com/oneangel:h…:

There is also a link here: www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Cure…: regarding a petition to sign, aimed at channeling more funding toward childhood cancer research.

Childhood cancer is the #1 killer disease of children more than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined.

For more info., I got this info. directly from sunflowervlg's page. She is a good friend and she and family are truly good people.
