Maji's blog: "Yup"

It would be easy and concise to say what you do for all that know you, we all see that. So instead, each time I sat down at the computer today, I tried to think of something that you have never done, and wrote it down.

Never once...have you needed an incentive to come say hello.

Never once...have you questioned my sincerity and answered it yourself. If you didnt understand something, you inquired to make sure that you did understand.

Never once...have you made me wonder if we're ok, just for sake of watching me struggle to find out.

Never once...have you fed me a doggy treat or patted me on the head simply because I lit up your page and brought others to it. You dont even bother thanking me, because you know you dont need to, you just respond with mutual interest.

Never once...have you passed me by or held me in contempt for being happy. Even if you were not feeling happiness yourself at the time, you always came by to share in and let me bathe you in mine.

Never once...have you avoided me in my times of despair, just because it was ugly and uncomfortable.

Never once...have you implied any level of maintenence to our standing. I know without even thinking about it that we could go months or years without contact and we would pick right up where we left off. There would be absolutely nothing to rebuild.

Never once...have you made me feel I was walking on eggshells to stay in your good graces, or that there were dues of homage to stay in the clubhouse, or that I needed to be anything other than myself. 

Never once...have you made me feel that we were less connected because we didnt share a parallel viewpoint on something.

Never once...have you tried to injure me with deliberate silence or apathy, no matter what the circumstance.

Never once...have you involved me in a melee or made me feel I needed to take a position in such, or presumed that I should have a clue or an opinion. 

Never once...have you betrayed my confidence or pitched my personal business and thoughts out on the tiles, or tried to manipulate with the threat thereof.

Never once...have you measured my attentiveness against what I put out to the rest of the world, nor tried to corral it to make sure you had the most. You emit, admire or become part of the light no matter where it goes.

Never once...have I witnessed you dedicating all your evergy to spinning in place just to create visibility so you can sit and twirl your hair and wait for the influx without having to leave your perch. You actually get out there and touch people (sometimes inappropriately, but touching nonetheless).

Never once...have you ceased to amaze me in your selflessness towards those you care for, instilling confidence and acceptance even in the smallest ways and shortest phrase, speaking up even where others cant be bothered or feel like theyre lowering themselves by doing so, you feel and realize theres no harm at all. Whether it be affectionately or mockingly, concise or verbose, you know instinctively what people need and you bring it. Theres nothing in it for you 
accept the glow that you create. Your heart, is what sets you apart.

And Never once...have you accredited yourself for any of these things. Which is why we are here.

You were one of the first in this place to develop beyond mere acquaintance to what I call friend. Ive probably known you longer than anyone in your cirriculum, and certainly dont know everything about you, and perhaps not even as much as some, but I think I have watched you long enough to know that what you bring out in folks is real, and long enough to know I have the seniority to embarass the living fuk out of you and get away with it here in this little roast. *impish snicker*

Nevertheless, your mainstay being your ackowledgement of others, I thought you in turn need to be recognized. 
And this is not some veiled rant about what everyone else does/does not do or whatever, honestly some dont even make enough of a splash for me to know whether they can even swim, much less how well, so I really cant say if I dont see it. Hell I'm not even sure I can honestly apply all these attributes to myself lol. 

But thats not what this is about,...this is your day, and this is my post, simply to say, that you yourself, never have...Never once. And thats worth pointing out.

You are, beyond all other things to me,...perpetual. And I cant be the only one thats sees that.
Happy Birthday Witchie :) (h)
