Hiii Dear Knowflakes!!

Now that i have read your beautiful posts,absorbed the wonderful poetry,flipped for the genius of lexipoems.....i had a little idea.

How about starting off a thread on an interactive magical story?!!!!!we could all contribute our bits in it after the first post and the start of the story is posted.im soo excited....im jumping!!!!I dont know if this is a apt idea or not.Why dont u guys tell me??
Just imagine...we could have ALL the talent of lexigrams,wisdom,poetry,love stories,love itself,gurus,and just about everything anyone posts.And the story will steer in the direction YOU KNOWFLAKES want it to!!!!and i wonder where it shall reach?sky is the limit!!

But first,just let me know that is this feasable,can we actually create such a rainow masterpeice?!!and secondly,WHO will start it off?Any story writers here.short stories that is?

Love and ideas***eureka!!!!
shagun.

Shagunj,
This is an excellent idea! I love it. I think we should start it, and you're right - who knows where it will lead! It will be absolutely beautiful!
Seamistress

Hii Seamistress,

and thanks so much!!!im so excited about this and it probably could be on the lines of gooberz,yknow?with everyones experiances!!!oh,it makes me dream!!!But i wonder how our earthy folks will take this,unless they have their moons or ascs in other signs.well,whatever,now,im just waiting with crossed fingers because i really would like a couple of people more to start off this venture.And once we start the others can join in.The major thing is,whos going to start????me being a piscean am a 0 at leadership but what about u seamistress?how about starting and ill add to ur post?oooh,i hope this turns out well,*****hope,hope,hope***....on all the knowflakes,snowflakes and stars!!!!!

Anyone else??

Druid...what do u think??ure a wonderful writer and remember the mag we wanted to start?well,this could be something like that.pleaseee,would u join in?

love and wait!!!
shagun.

Hi Shajun!

I'll love to join in on this.

But, I can't start it either...

But, as I wrote that I started to envisage a woman browsing in a secondhand book shop and finding a dusty tome written in a strange language. Maybe she'll be sucked in.... it could be like the wardrobe in Narnia....

Any other ideas out there?

Love Renia

Hi Renia!!

Thats a WONDERFUL idea....ooh yes,something like Narnia....my minds working doubletime now....Thanks for the suggestion!
Mmmm...lemme see....now uve given me the idea,let me see if i can start?and i hope u will go on from there!!!or would u like to?let me know!!!
Love
shagun.

Shagun, I think you should start it, since this was your idea to begin with. I'll definitely join in. Go for it!

Dear Shagunj,
I cannot wait till this starts! Unfortunately being a scorpio doesn't give you leadership qualities (well to me anyway), infact most of my chart is prominent in either organising or communicating. But I promise that once it's started I will contribute my heart and soul into it.
Who knows perhaps it will turn into Gooberz, I'm sure it will be just as special!
Yes druid why don't you start? You have the beautiful writing skills it takes (all of you do!!!!). Shagunj, you have a beautiful imagination, wonderful writing (don't deny it I've read your poems) why don't you start? Well one of you start anyway!
Lots of Love
Seamistress

Hiii Friends!!

Thanks Greg!!me start it?eeeps!!ever known a piscean to lead?but ok,ill give it a try!!i was thinking of putting in a poem in the beggining.I asked druid to do that.

Anyone having a magical poem on Twin selves?!!lets make this a twin self story!!!

Seamistress,thanks for joining in!!!i know what a scorpio can do....so why dont you?!!(hey that rhymed!!)A scorp putting in her life and soul into something...that job would be something to see!!

Ok,heres a sketchy idea....how about starting off like Renia said,with our heroine in an old bookshop and.....our hero,her other half...somewhere else....maybe a breif vision,a poem,a song....something like that?I just need a good start...so keep the ideas pouring!!!!!

love
shagun.

Dearest Shagun,

As always you inspire ...
so i desire
to fill this forun
with magical fire of the
word druids
on the meaning of Interactive Magic
which is another word for LOVE ...

So here's to you (Hope you'll be back soon!)and to imagination that lightens the journey of weary souls ...and to the interactive magic in everyone's life ... and above all to those lovely word druids who never fail to enlighten me, tease me and ingratiate me too - with a little light and laughter ... the word druids present a tale of an Interactive Magic affair !!!

INTERACTIVE MAGIC

(WORDS IN CAPITAL LETTERING FROM INTERACTIVE MAGIC ...)

A GREETING from I, TANYA who wishes to RECITE my love-MANIA
So, GEAR up for A TRACT (It is a true fact !)
of MEETING A MATE with many A TRAIT
quite different from MINE
Especially without the MAGIC
Of a Venus-Pluto TRINE
Seemed kinda Astro-TRAGIC
Nonetheless, darlings, LOVE is divine !

So, ENTER I, A GEMINI
All bubbles and AIR with NEVER A CARE
ACTING quite like A TEEN All time EVER GREEN ...
And EAGER to ENTERTAIN ... if you know what I MEAN !

Then, I MET TIM, TRIM and (Okay, I admit) GRIM
Always NEAT, Always NICE
NEVER A VICE ...
That's TIM - One always either finds him
AT AN INTERIM, Or AT A TEE
I always felt he was rather An INVERT of ME ...

Metamorphically speaking, I must say he had AN ART
Of separating a Palace from A MART
He could EMIT the GRIME of even the smallest CRIME
IN A MITE of TIME
He couldn't bear to see a TAINT of anything so INATE
Gee ! that was GREAT !

Yeah, he was and is a MANIAC who CAN NEVER TIRE
Seeming GRACE under the IRE
of the IRATE
For me - that is quite a MAGIC TRAIT !!!

(Sigh ... TIM IS A VIRGIN
What do I MEAN ?!!!
Well, if you must know
I MEANT to say he IS A Virgo !)

Despite his MANIA, TIM was a real ENIGMA
To ME
And without ME knowing
Gently, my heart did ENTICE
my GEMINI mind, till IT felt real NICE
To IMAGE TIM and ME
So while my heart did a gentle PITTER-PATTER
My mind CAME to INITIATE TIM AS A MATE
and make it MATTER !

IT did ... when TIM asked me out on a date...finally !!!
Tho' it did take me TIME to AGREE
And accept his INVITE to A MATINEE and later to TEA !

Somehow the fact that I could REACT
And in my mind ENACT
What I would say to TIM
After the MATINEE AT TEA
Left me a little TAME
AT this (unusual-for-me) MATING GAME

IT was AT TEA,
that I had no doubt about TIM being the MATE for ME ...
Tho' I really don't know
Was it his GRECIAN IMAGE, his NEAT GAIT
His ACTIVE Mind (so like MINE)
Whatever it was TIM felt like my own TEAM MATE !

I really don't know ...
Just allowed my RACING Mind,
GIVE IN to MENTAL INERTIA
While listening to the MANTRA-like words
AS if I was with A GENIE on a MAGIC carpet
Flying along side the birds ...

I could see he felt it too -
In his ENIGMATIC GRIN betwixt the MEETING-MATING
Of his mind with MINE...
I could see -
Yet, he was the perfect GENT with ME !

This MAGIC had us IN A TRANCE
There was not a chance
We could not be in LOVE ...

Yes, TIM and I are together today
Despite what the stars say ...

I do admit he CAN AGITATE ME
When he does RAVE and RANT
Over the GENE of AN ANT
Or the ENTIRE life-TERM of an insignificant GERM
Or the GENRE of A TERMITE
Such INATE TRITE ! I would IGNITE
Then he'll REACT with his lecture on me NEVER being NEAT
And when I scoff, he'll RETREAT -
And become a block of ICE
I wonder then how I ever thought him NICE !

But I CAN GRATE him too -
With what he calls my NATTER
Over some TRIVIAL MATTER
About whom to ENTERTAIN
Detailing the menu to the smallest GRAIN
How to GREET, whom to MEET
How to make a party a real TREAT ...
Or planning A trip to GENEVA
Just when he wants to be MEAGRE ...

(We could really IMITATE what we learnt to hate in each other !)

Somehow I remember with dread till date
when we had argument about TIME
Wasting it was A CRIME
To TIM
And to ME
Well - TIME is MITE
He did GRIMACE and tried to make ME see
And when he saw IT didn't matter to ME
It really did IGNITE his RAGE
And horrifically I saw him AGE
At least TEN years ...
Before my very own eyes ...
I hated TIME then
For the CRIME of AGE ...

IT was moments like this when a TEAR would fill my eye
He would then sigh ...
And like MAGIC, ANGER would TERMINATE
AGAIN, A CARING TIM would GERMINATE ...

Our Astrologers claimed our suns were squared
And Venus-Pluto aspect was "quincux-impaired"
Is that so - well, we may not know which sign matches MINE
But we do know, in an astrological TERM, our hearts TRINE

The Stars are GREAT, I do admit, to understand the times
When TIM and I INTERACT and over some TRIVIA issue REACT and lose TACT
Over AGAIN, in a TEARING RAIN, of some GRAVE pain, our ANGER we VENT
Then we MIGRATE to MITIGATE and understand what the other had MEANT
And realise how our MANIC
rage CAN make -
the TRIVIA become TITANTIC
And know that this NET of RAGE CAN TIE the hearts of TIM and I ...

Yes, IN LOVE we TRAIN, AGAIN and EVER AGAIN
To CARVE A MAGIC MATE and INGRATIATE the TRAIT
Of a GIVER...and REMAIN
Amidst the pain, we REIGN
To TERMINATE
every TRACE of RAGE and REVERT the MIRAGE of AGE ...
That CAN GERMINATE from the CRAVE to EAT MEAT
and above all - the CRIME of TIME ...

Our MAIN AIM, to TAME the VAIN "I"
Instead to GIVE and to GRANT
and INITIATE -
The MANTRA of the "I CAN" against "I CAN'T"
To ENGRAVE the NAÏVE and EVER REMAIN as once did MAN and his EVE
That IN A NEAR ERA, we may hEAR and understand the "META"
Thus EARN the NAIVETE of a MAGI - that CAN EMANATE our "I"
CREMATE the TRITE and the TRIVIAL that seems TRAGIC
And CREATE - AS we MERGE ( TIM and I) -
AN INTERACTIVE MAGIC !!!

To all you souls who are squared in stars
but trined with hearts ...
due to unfathomable karmic reasons ...
for now ... here's some balm of the Interactive Magic - never ever give up !!!

love
druid

Dear Druid,

It's four am over here in Ireland,..but I couldnt go without saying,..YOU make life RHYME

You may wonder at TIMes
but,
You are really full of wonder

WONDERFUL!!!

Love

Michael

Oh Michael,

That was a really sweet comment ...

and to think you took the time
to write about the word-druid rhyme !

Instead
of curling up in bed
you read

you took the time
Let me tell you - its people like yourself
that can make me rhyme ...

Thanks and looking forward to your spiritual and ever-wise inputs !

We still have to spiral higher you know on the "hexigram-lexigram-druid" thing ... the druids will have to lexigram the meaning of the hexagram ... I know what yo(u) (me)a(n)t!

love
druid

Hello Druid.

This is an amazing peice of work!I am still reading twelfth night....and there is so much that i dont know how and what to contribute.So i shall just learn from you dear one.

This seems like a good idea.But i see hardly any posts here.Hope this takes root,it could be very interesting.

Druid,that peice of spiralling cum storytelling is really nice but how shall the story suggested continue?Just curious?

And yeah,i would love to contribute too shagunj.

**
me.

Hello Feeling -

I love the way you personify your name !

You are there on every thread with a gentle and cheerful understanding ... it makes me realise how much more beautiful it is to be there to give another encouragement and courage ... methinks, in a spiritual way, you are the power-behind-the-scenes ... one way or the other, you are fulfilling your "scorpion" destiny ...

Great to know that you are tuning into the words ... them-elves are such warm, mischievous and dear souls ... just like Linda said ...

Well as to the continuation of the Interactive Magic story - I started this story using the word-druids from Interactive Magic and suddenly, I kept on going as more and more words revealed them(s)elves to me and I just couldn't stop ... Shagun dearie had asked me to lexipoem the start ... well, looks like I lexipoemed the story of Interacgive Magic ... Well this is just the idea behind what Interactive Magic wants to tell us ... to be aware that a "rosy" love-story always carries the "thorns"

So we'll start again ... would you care to be the first part of the story ...

looking forward ...
love
druid

Hello Druid.

Here is a for you and thanks for the nice words.

Hmm...ok,i would love to start but it would not be a long one iam afraid.Just a teeny tiny one.

** ** **

It was raining,so hard that day.As though the skies would burst forth and tumble down the heavens on to earth.Thunder flashed and the lightning slit the sky with a brilliant shiny sword.And without any warning,mysterious nature,as she is ended this powerful crescendo of sounds,almost abruptly.And before you knew it and looked above as to what happened, you saw,so sweetly,so marvellously,so magically..two stars.Glinting on the ebony sky.Just two. And somewhere,two people looked up and sent a wish,at the split second, at them.Somewhere a wiseman cried for a miracle,somewhere red roses blew in the sharp momentary wind.A night,to be remembered and a wish to be ordained......

Anyone could continue from here.

Iam a little ..er..hesitant actually.I love tales,stories but i never get down to writing anything.I start but i never complete so i kinda liked this idea of someone else completing it.

And now on,from here....

**

me.

Good start, Feeling......I can't wait for someone else to continue....

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

druid 33 is a Magician!

so here's a... 15

Are you casting your spell on the hexigram - Lexigram druid?

Looking forward to more magic!

Love

Michael

Whatever happened to sprites postings?!!!!Did they,by any chance get deleted from the thread due to recent technical problems?

**
me

Feeling, unfortunately the last full backup of the site I made was the afternoon before the server crashed and burned ... so there WERE some posts that have been lost. I hate that. My sincere apologies to Y2sprite and everyone else who mades posts that evening and morning ... if you can remember the gist of your messages and would be willing to re-post them, that would be wonderful. Otherwise, well ... maybe it's our cosmic lesson in impermanence.

He-ll-ooooo Everyone ...

Its great to be back !!!

Dear Michael, you-mystical-dreamy-magical-tender-druid-yourself, such touching faith...so I'm putting in every extra "ounce" of time...to get this hexigram-lexigram-druid mystery prepare us...each step of the way ! Actually, I have worked on some "warming up clues" and will be putting it up shortly...due the server being down, I was unable to ...but NOW...everything is back in action and so am I...

Sprite and Feeling, you are doing a very magical job on the story telling...I will be posting my part too...all the rhyming and chiming...it is tres beautiful...this is really a great idea...I'm sorry Sprite's postings are deleted...but Sprite is magical and I look forward to more magic...

Gregory, once again, thank you...

love to all...
druid

My very amateur contribution is here - you all inspire me so much I just can't stop writing

Told I was too ambitious
"Ambition leads to greed,"
My teacher would say

Does it?
Perhaps I just want to fly
Is that so wrong
That I should want

To fly far far away from here?
Or meet someone who understood the way I thought
And made my heart skip a beat

Falling on my knees
A big mistake
For who knows
What a price I paid

For succumbing to the delight
Of the evil entity who so
Wanted me to think

It was too high
For me to fly
Over

And so he locked me in a cage
Without any warmth but a silver candle
Burning in the corner ever
(Yes to this day it still burns)

Trapped
In the tower of his castle
I was lacking reason
For this treason

But a million miles from me
Was a prince waiting to be
Reunited with me

So faint was his cry
That I did not hear it
Until I tried

I mean really, REALLY tried
But as long as I was trapped in the fortress

The words were like keys on a piano
I could hear them
But could not understand

Desperate to decode the melody
Sent to me

I looked out the window
My head hanging out the side hung low
But my ears were high
High enough to find out why

The tune - was such a somber ballad
My eyes were closed against the raging wind
And I could feel the evil watching me
Hearing me
Loving me
In my old ways

It offered me everything I could possibly need
SECURITY
HEALTH
PROSPERITY
WEALTH
Everything that make a person's waves calm

But still I heard the song
And knew that if I did not follow it
I would hear it forever

Where could I turn
Evil would triumph
Killing both my Twin and I
In our desire
To be reunited again

But evil knew my weakness
He had known it since I was born
That I would once I was born so I could kill
So many previous lives ago I did kill
It was a thrill
A sick adrenalin with terrible consequences

And now I was different
I was loved and loved in return
I did not need evil to help me
My Twin was there to be
Reunited with me

Which way do I turn

~ the clouds stir ~

Up or down

~ hear the thunder rolling ~

Each would end in tragedy

~ Blackness chokes the air ~

NOOOOOOOOOO!
And so I plunged
Down into the river below

My fate
I had died
I hit the water and drowned

That was the evil part of me
It did go falling
Down into the river
And died

But the other me lived
It lived you see because it heard
The desperate cry of my Twin S-elf

And knew he would die
If I did not live for him
I was free now
Free from evil

No longer did that person exist
I had decided to live
I chose life over death
And though we don't live together physically
He is with me in my heart
And one day we shall meet again
Till then I'll just smile and know

I am loved!

Seamistress

Whoa there, Seamistress !

That was and is simply beauuuuuutiful...so full of the passionate "u" there ... so much for the "u" for love ... and venus ...

I am sure your prince is speeding up the "minutes" to be with you again !

who's next ? This is Marvellous Magic !

....for love to be fulfilled,
souls to be entwined in yet
another love between twin minds.
For Nature seeks at times,
To still the fears of all mankind.
The wind became a breeze,
Vibrations filled the air.
Excitement quivered waiting for
the magic to occur.
Unicorns in two perhaps?
Or even more unseeming acts.
Earthlings held their breath in wonder
waiting for this love born of light&thunder..
..
Something like that is what was on my mind.I
lost my train of thought.Got my "Gooberz" and
I've entered my catching up period!Magical is
the start Feelings.Thank-you Druid for your compliment.Beautiful writing Seamistress.This
Ad lib writing is sooo neat.Onward now.....

And now,slowly,gently we fly to a small and cosy cottage in the midst of the country .shhh...Look there?Do you see that little babe?Yes yes!the one with a silver halo around her head,little baby Silvia.Born this night,this very night,that would be remembered for a long time to come now.A night with such intensity that God in his heaven smiled and granted the wish.The wish that was spoken so innocently and with such love.

And then again rush on the wings of the wind to a few miles east of silvia's house.A little baby boy lies on the cot fast asleep.and yes....he has the golden halo...the missing peice of silver.Could it be...can it be...oh!can this miracle be??!!Born the same day,same time?

Look up now...do you see what i do?yes,i do feel,yes i do think...is that...are those ...ANGELS?!!!and ..are they smiling?

And so on...

*********************************************

Seamistress,a beautiful tale.....something i would personally identify with.A song...a tune,a remembered melody....it is true yknow.

Sprite missed you.Good thing you posted more magic!

**
me.

Feeling&Seamistress,
Beautiful....this is unfolding into something special.Someone continue!

pOets one and all!

Seamistress I really loved your verse,..very deep with so many layers of meaning. "It is always darkest before the dawn" and "fortune favours the brave" spring to mind.

You think you are an amateur!? well AMATEURS are TRUE to their ART, a labour of Love! AMATEURS also contains MASTER

please post more lyrical lines soon!

Feeling and sprite,.. I loved your poems too, I am not a poet myself yet...someday soon..in the meantime, I will be inspired by you.

Love and lyrics

Michael
