There is such magnificent talent within this forum!

Within these walls you find joy, peace, pain, indifference, love, longing, desires.... the full range of human emotions, offered with the hope that just one may find something they can benefit from its words and understandings.

Many post within the individual threads of the writers. Many do not. This tribute is not about names and works. It is about feelings, blessings, understandings, but most of all it is a sharing of these emotions.

You may list the name of the poem and its author if it moves you to do so, but it is not nessessary. It is about the feeling you take away with you in its reading.

It is thoughts shared here in tribute that is sought....

Thank you

Ok now your gonna make me think...me thinking is scary...I read so many today...but I will be back...This is a nice idea..so I'll start I read many today but Hangeman=Place
and Suz=On God's rock took me to a place of peace today that I needed

I too read many today. It is not hard to say that the accumulation of my thoughts, the memoriums, the thoughts of a father to a child, the beautiful landscapes and peace.... bedsheets and hot bodies , my day has been a wonderful journey within these walls.

there are so many that are good. i wish i could write like some of you can.the one that got me today was pride i just sat there and cried. not that it was sad i thought it was nice to see a guy make a diff. in a kids life and not turn his back when things changed.

my bf and i love this place and bless all af you here

Yes we have many a talented people here...
To all of you who contribute to my favorite catagory of
posts...

To paint a picture with your mind that projects itself to others has been accomplished by many talented people on this site. Day in and day out more make new boundaries in bravery and step forward from the shadows to bring a little more color into our lives. Though I think this is a wonderful idea, and to do not wish to sway anyone , I simply couldn't choose one out of the many wonderful and heartfelt pictures that were drawn here. You have all touched me in a different way. I congratulate all of the talented people in the JSH Community and thank you.

Beautiful and meaningful words
Are spoken and are seldom heard
For those who do read
It can harvest a seed
That no other person may see
It matters more often than not
Because many have read and forgot
But such words are fine
When spoken in rhyme
And will linger with us for all time.

Let feelings be magnified by the words of the brave. Let all, with something to share, step forward without embarrassment, without modesty, without fear. Let their light shine out. Embrace this light, for it may seek shelter from dark places that only you may be able to shield them. Lend your sword where needed. Lend a hand where needed. Comfort all who have the courage to share their light. Acknowledgment can be a wonderful window from inside a sheltered mind.

In this day I have seen a coming together of friends as one voice in the cause of good for the many. Sometimes a thing which seems good on it's surface, can tend to trickle down and become a flood. I wish to thank all our wonderful friends and poets for your efforts in preventing grief within out happy home.

I know our friends who originated this thought had no ill will in it's creation, and I do thank them for their thoughts and efforts here. They too have a voice, and it sings of love.

So I thank all of you... readers, posters, friends and....FAMILY!

To say I have a favourite writer here would be a little off balance. I admire everyone's works, but if you are asking about the one that touched me the most today, it would have to be " Pride " I just logged on, so haven't had a good old look around yet. I will come back to this thread in the future and post my daily " love this one "

I too feel there is some amazing talent on this site. I feel that feelings of one at that precise moment that they post is not fair and should not be judged. I feel its takes away frm the importance of feelings and makes it a race to post what one might feel will win instead of from the heart. I feel everyone on this site is a winner and that the competative edge should just be done with. It to much of a highly human emotion compete.......

today for me it's CCP=the critic I love all she puts out here for us..but this one because for us that are trying she gives us hope and encouragement


Bonny = the gift because there is nothing so precious then our children

Wolfeyes=Three nails=because of that I am here living life and loving each day

Im off to read some more of all your beautiful work. And would like to thank all of the writers who put their heart and soul into their work.....

I added some new friends to my messenger today, thanks to pkh.. "The look in your eyes".. I had to take a cold shower.. (love you sweetie!!!) OL made me homesick, CCP took me on a journey and blessed my day, and I reached an understanding with

All in all, a very good day! Love you my friends!

to all of you
You have all enlightened me today.

I would like to spend a moment tho simply thank those of you who go out of there way to post to every single thread they visit.(you know who you are)
It is not always easy for some to write such feelings but you make it so much less difficult when you post such wonderful responses. It is not an obligation by any means to post but you take time out of your life everyday to post your wonderful words of encouragement so I now take time out of mine to thank you. and
