(age 16) Like looking through a looking glass, that's not completely clear a beautiful and dark glimpse of neither here nor there a world of dim light and foreignness of deep shadows and night a place where demons kiss and angels learn to bite you see it in old stories that warn of curiosity where innocent and desperate unleash the caged ferocity those frightening tales of caution of a place that we all know that from the time we're children we fear but want to go 5 Lotus in the Night Sky by Sangeeta C. (age 19) 6 Alexander and the Star by Chloe M. (age 16) A tiny spacecraft glided through space, a silver bullet streaming a trail of light behind it. "Destination approaching," a grainy computer voice echoed inside the cabin. A young man pushed his dark locks from his forehead and leaned back in the control chair. "I said as far away as possible....and this is where you took me?" he muttered, staring out the cockpit window as the visor cleared. "We're not even near the Avis System yet!" he said exasperatedly. The computer gave no reply, empty silence punctuating his sentence. Alexander sighed and reflected on the events of the past week. Nothing had gone right. He had lost his home... again... along with his friends, and his master. His master.... How could a man who had once been his role model become what his master had: bitter, corrupt and power hungry? Alexander felt the memory flash back into his minds-eye like a reappearing nightmare: his master standing at the helm of a spaceship while a fleet burned in front of him, his own fleet. "Alex, I had to. They were going to betray us." His master had told him, stony eyes that had once been warm, an open mind now warped into distortion. "I had to..." he said. Alexander blocked the memory from his mind, massaging his temples and looking back out through the cockpit window. Outside was a massive orb of light. Angel wings of fire flared, rippling out from its surface of molten gold. He lurched forward in his chair and rebooted the ship’s system. "Bring us in closer," he told the computer breathlessly. The ship rumbled to life and glided closer to the light. As they drew nearer, Alexander could feel a pull, a tug at a distant part of his consciousness that he had never felt before. Curious, he brought the ship to a stop right alongside the star and found it wasn't hot. The star released a soft warmth but nothing close to the diamond- melting furnace a star was supposed to generate. "Engage oxygen and gravity field," he told the ship's computer, leaving the controls and opening the ship's ceiling hatch. Agilely, Alexander pulled himself onto the roof of the ship, the stars winking around him as he sat on the edge, his legs dangling over the edge above numerous galaxies. He placed his hand on the ship's shell and couldn't feel it shuddering like it was supposed to when resisting gravity. Something was definitely odd about this star. Not only was it not hot, but it had no gravity; it wasn't pulling them in like a sun should. He glanced back at the star, its bright form wreathed in heatless twisting flames of champagne gold, like the soul of god. Spirals of energy rippled across its surface like water on a lake. 7 It had once been said that the Travelers could talk to stars: That the heavens would converse and share its wisdom with the children of the vortex. They had the friendship and guidance of the universe itself. However, those legends had died with his people and the stars had been ever silent for him. Still, if Travelers could still talk to stars, then he might just find a being as alone as himself. “Hello?" he asked hesitantly. For a moment there was silence and the emptiness of space, but then.... “Hello," replied a rich voice of tone and fire, a voice that hummed with energy. Alexander was silent for a moment and completely in awe. “You are beautiful. I've never seen anything like you," he whispered "You've never looked," the star said. "I never knew to try," he answered "Isn't that most things?" The star replied, its light pulsing with every syllable. Alexander smiled. "What’s your name?" "Some things are so old they don't need names..." The star responded. That threw him for a second, because Alexander had never met a being without a name. "What is your name?" asked the star, soft warmth wafting from its surface and cloaking itself around him. Still a bit awestruck, he cleared his throat. "Alexander." "And why do you seek the stars?" Alex thought for a second, brushing his loose hair from his face. "Because I have no one else," he replied at last, the thought a heavy weight. "I understand," whispered the star, its comforting warmth permeating his t-shirt and tugging at his mind. Alexander felt himself growing more and more interested in the odd sun. How could something so old still have empathy for someone as young as he? "I have to ask, how does time pass for a star?" he asked after a pause. "Time passes in the same way for us both. I have been alive many, many millennia. I have seen histories unfold and witnessed many races’ first steps amongst the stars. The beauty and sadness of humanity and a thousand other species were laid out before my eyes," the star said. Alexander watched a meteor fly past him and strike the surface of the star haphazardly, ripples of light and fire flaring up like fireworks and cloaking the star in a halo of light. "Are you happy?" he asked, watching the flames and bright gas fly across the star's surface like seasoned dancers. "I desire to be part of life, not just an observer," the star replied slowly. "Do you know that there are people that probably wish they were in your place? That they were stars and didn't have to live their lives?" Alexander smiled. "I don't doubt it, I have heard their wishes," the sun replied, seeming almost to laugh, a ripple of golden color splashing across its front. "So if you could live differently, what would you do?" Alexander asked. "I would travel the universe at the speed of light, I would be the fastest and the most clever of stars," it answered, its whole surface lighting up with passion and nearly blinding Alexander with brilliant flares of fire. 8 "I can help." He grinned. "From one immortal to another, life is too long to spend in one place." And Alexander closed his eyes, reaching out to the vibrant vivacity of the star and opening a channel within him that hadn't been awakened for a millennia, the channel that connected his people to the heavens. The star surged and exploded into a celestial cloud of light so powerful and bright that it could be seen galaxies away. Alexander breathed in the liquid glow, the star flowing through his veins and streaming through his hair as it licked into a sphere around him and surrounded him in an immense womb of fire. Alexander shivered with the intensity of it and with the effort of moving a mountain he directed the glow towards the ship beneath him. A torrent of light surged into the little metal body, igniting the ship in golden white fire that burned brighter than any supernova, blossoms of stardust swirling like calligraphy against the stars. Alexander was thrown by the impact and floated, dazed, in an emergency oxygen bubble, watching in awe as the ship was contorted. The body had turned a fiery white, shaking violently and stretching, its chunky oval body lengthening and reinforcing itself into a sleek manta-ray form. Tear-drop engines formed under its wings, blue concentric circles pulsing a heartbeat as a silver casing spread over the body like paint on a canvas. Alexander watched the essence of the star embed itself in every crevice and curve, engraving itself into the ship like a second skin. Then he felt himself being pulled in closer, the missing puzzle piece.

  • The AGA Song Book up to Date
    3rd Edition Songs, Poems, Stories and More! Edited by Bob Felice Published by The American Go Association P.O. Box 397, Old Chelsea Station New York, N.Y., 10113-0397 Copyright 1998, 2002, 2006 in the U.S.A. by the American Go Association, except where noted. Cover illustration by Jim Rodgers. No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any form or by any means, or stored in a database or retrieval system, without prior written permission of the copyright holder, except for brief quotations used as part of a critical review. Introductions Introduction to the 1st Edition When I attended my first Go Congress three years ago I was astounded by the sheer number of silly Go songs everyone knew. At the next Congress, I wondered if all these musical treasures had ever been printed. Some research revealed that the late Bob High had put together three collections of Go songs, but the last of these appeared in 1990. Very few people had these song books, and some, like me, weren’t even aware that they existed. While new songs had been printed in the American Go Journal, there was clearly a need for a new collection of Go songs. Last year I decided to do whatever I could to bring the AGA Song Book up to date. I wanted to collect as many of the old songs as I could find, as well as the new songs that had been written since Bob High’s last song book. You are holding in your hands the book I was looking for two years ago.

  • Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol
    Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol For more than 25 years Alan Jackson’s music has provided a soundtrack for American life. Whether someone is plowing a Kansas field or toiling away in a factory in an urban metropolis, Jackson’s songs have chronicled the hopes, dreams and values of everyday people. Hits like “Remember When,” “Drive” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” have become an enduring part of America’s musical landscape, but Jackson’s restless creative spirit won’t let him sit on his considerable laurels. With Angels and Alcohol, Jackson’s first studio album of new music in three years, he continues to deliver the kind of insightful and thoroughly engaging songs that have long been the foundation of his successful career. From the pensive title track to the up-tempo first single, “Jim and Jack and Hank,” Jackson takes the listener on an emotional journey. “I’ve always got my eyes and ears open for ideas, melodies and things,” Jackson says. “I keep a running list of good hooks and titles, and if I have a melody that I come up with now, I just put it on my phone so I won’t forget. If I get inspired by something, I’ll sit down and write a whole song right away, but most of the time I just collect ideas and hooks and melodies and eventually I’ll get around to writing it.” Jackson’s observational skills have served him well throughout his 25-year career. The Newnan, Georgia native has sold nearly 60 million albums and released more than 60 singles with 50 landing in the top ten and 35 soaring all the way to No.
