- Announcement -WHENEVER we have these meetings, Mars suggests a competition. Once it was "Who's the biggest?" Well, Jupiter won that. Another time it was "Who's the hottest planet?" Venus was smug for decades. This time Mars had a brainwave: it was going to be a race around our landowner, the Sun. Mars seemed so eager this time that no one argued Mercury merely smirked.- Announcement -
We readied ourselves as usual. We got our moons in order and started gearing up. Uranus and Neptune weren't taking this seriously; they never do, to be honest. They just ind
World AIDS Day 2009 will be held December 1, 2009. The theme this year is "Universal Access and Human Rights". ![]() I invite you to take part in a project that I am hosting in honor of World AIDS Day 2009. Why am I hosting this? It is near and dear to my heart. My uncle was told he was HIV+ in 1990, and lived for 6 years after being told this. He died in June 1996, two months after my wedding. He had attended my wedding but was very sick, and two months later almost to the day he walked himself into a hospital, and never walked out. I didn't get to see him before he died, my wedding was the last time I saw him alive. I can't even begin to tell you how much my uncle meant to me, he was an ever present part of my life since I was a child, and it devastated me to lose him to AIDS. Of course officially they wrote he died of pneumonia, and listed AIDS second or third on the death certificate, but AIDS is what killed this very good and beautiful man. THE PROJECT - AIDS Charity Book I have been a member of deviantART for over five years and I am constantly overwhelmed by the amount of talent on this site. It is heartwarming and challenges me each and every day to be better. What I would like to do is to ask you, the amazing artists of dA, to submit whatever you do best - whether it be traditional art, digital art, photography, photomanipulation, prose or poetry - and let me compile a charity book whose proceeds will go directly to AVERT, an international AIDS charity (find them here: [link]). Depending on how many participate, I will choose the submissions to be included in the book. Your piece of art (and yes I consider literature to be art as well) should follow the theme of World AIDS Day - or be somehow related to AIDS. Red ribbons are beautiful things. Your creativity is a must, whether it is simple or more involved. Do a search for AIDS on dA and you'll find a lot of inspiration: [link] For more information, please visit the news article here. Our new contest at the *Traditional-Artists club is a double-whammy - a themed contest about The Seven Deadly Sins & another involving Tutorials. To enter either of our contests, you need to be a member of *Traditional-Artists - for more info, see our Rules Journal and to join, just watch us! Are there any more tempting themes to work from than Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy & Pride? For more info, see the Seven Deadly Sins Contest journal. The idea behind this is very simple: create your own traditional art tutorials. For more info, rules & some guidelines, see the Tutorials Contest journal. Follow the links for more info such as prizes and rules. The Character Collective is a brand new group dedicated to producing characters that fit the needs of writers, graphic novelists, and other creative types. If a writer is having difficulties coming up with a character, they can browse through our gallery to find someone who will fit the blank. We also draw characters on request, but that will cost the writer a subscription. For more information you can visit their page linked above. Poetry as Therapy Belinda lived through several years of war in Central America which lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the 1970s, she and her family were caught in riots and shootouts between rebels and nationalists. Eventually PTSD lead her to ministry burnout in 2005. These poems reflect the journey of healing of a nephew and his aunt. For more information on how to buy this book follow the link in the thumb. |

Love comes from inside of you.
Make friends is something you could do,
And that's what I did
When I met her.
And her is Cari.
And we are friends,
And we will be that way until the end,
And the end is forever.
Luv ya, Cari

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I were to go
In my heart you'll grow
And that's where you belong.

If only, if only the woodpecker cries,
The Bark on the trees was as soft as the skies.
The wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
And howls to the moon, if only, if only.
I sent a note about three days ago asking to join... Did you get it? I can send it again if you didn't (:

For me, deciding to live had greater repercussions than a kettledrum solo.
