thothmes: SG-1 in party hats with cake etc., Happy Birthday (Happy Birthday - Early Team)
A happy birthday to [personal profile] sue_c who is kind, considerate, caring, and writes some of the best Sam/Jack fiction out there: mature, thoughtful, in character, and delivered with a deceptively simple, lucid style. I hope there were family and friends, appropriate levels of fuss and attention, and joy all around.

Alas, I get to these things when I can, so I'm posting at (a little past) the last second here in the East, when I know you will be sound asleep, and I bear no fic as of yet, but I have been thinking of you, and hope that this will extend the holiday glow into the beginning of your next year!

Who me? Procrastinate? "Never!!!!" she asserts, employing the Jack O'Neill patented Denial of Great Unconvincingness and Red HandednessTM.

A Few Words From The Wise

Speak to him, for there is none born wise.
-The Maxims of Ptahotep

In mourning or rejoicing, be not far from me.
- an Ancient Egyptian Love Song

But your embraces
alone give life to my heart
may Amun give me what I have found
for all eternity.
-Love Songs of the New Kingdom, Song #2

To Know the Dark

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is travelled by dark feet and dark wings.
-Wendell Berry

Up in the morning's no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a' the hills are covered wi' snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.
-Robert Burns

Visit to the Hermit Ts'ui

Moss covered paths between scarlet peonies,
Pale jade mountains fill your rustic windows.
I envy you, drunk with flowers,
Butterflies swirling in your dreams.
-Ch'ien Ch'i

Mistress of high achievement, O lady Truth,
do not let my understanding stumble
across some jagged falsehood.
-Pindar

Every Gaudy colour
Is a bit of truth.
-Nathalia Crane

I counted two-and-twenty stenches,
All well defined, and several stinks.
-Samuel Coleridge
