  Honoring The Works of Others This Award/'Mark' has been created to acknowledge the fine work that others at Writing.com do to support the site and its users and bring a smile to our faces. One of the leading recipients of this 'Mark' will be forums, and might be the only recipient, but the 'Mark' is not just for the item that receives it. The creator of the item deserves it much more so, though I don't think I can go around branding people. There for, if you see this mark on an item, don't just think 'Oh what a nice item,' but instead think, 'Oh what a nice person!' The 'Mark' is the Symbol of Light surrounded by the words: Concordis, Fides, Amiticia, Solor, and Decus. These words are latin for: Unity, Trust, Friendship, Support, and Honor. These are qualities that create not only a good friend and fellow human being, but also a great soul that brings harmony to life and others that they meet. If the recipient chooses, which would be honorable, they may use the image, which is on sharing. The number for the image is: 452499. This is it to show others that they have recieved 'The Mark of the Sage'. This is not to boast about the award itself but rather to let others know they are here to help. And now for the list of Honorable Recipients of this award: First Recipient: Pallas Athene   for...

Though the award will mostly be given to static items, mainly poetry and stories, other items can recieve it if their content fits the requirements. The award can be given to any work that I feel deserves it in one or more of the following ways: 1. The work expresses a deep love for nature and the wilderness. It can paint a beautiful picture of a landscape, honor a majestic creature, or give a feeling of earthen care. 2. The work respects and honors emotion, friendship, and humanity. It can bring up deep feelings in the reader, raise questions and thoughts on the subject, or give a feeling of being human and mortal. 3. The work shows great understanding of the world around the author, whether physical or spiritual. It can give a sense of something greater, raise questions and thoughts on the subject, or show a love for life deeper than most words can. And now for the list of honorable recipients of the award: 1. The first award was given to the work
A beautiful and haunting piece, "The Wind in the Pines"  captures a deep feeling of life, death, and a sense of mortality. The imagery is absolutely poetic, and the feeling is purely human. It really is a work that brings up questions and thoughts in the reader's mind. From the moment that I read this piece I knew that it deserved an awardicon. I am proud to be allowed such an honor as being the first to award this piece, though I know it deserves more than my little green ribbon.2. The second award was given to the work
Now there have been many works which I was thinking of making the second to recieve this award, but when I read this I knew it needed it soon. It is a beautiful poem about nature, and feeling its power. From fire to water, wind to earth, the poem captures the rare strength of the elements, and truly showers the reader in a feeling of purity. I am proud to give yet again a black case this award for a work that is truly beyond any case color. I hope the author recieves many more than my simple green ribbon. 3. The third award was given to the work
This work clearly expresses mortality in such a simple and understandable way. It deals with great emotion and feeling, of life and death, of what it is like to be human. It is well written, with powerful words and a deep flow which puts emphasis on the meaning. It is one of those pieces that capture the beauty of simplicity and uses such a topic that makes the reader really think and question themselves. I hope to read more great works from the author and to see more awards given to them. 4. The fourth award was given to the work
This work shows a clear belief and understanding life: suffering is an awful thing, but essential to existance. I strongly agree with this belief. The author expresses their views on this matter with great support and passion. It is a beautiful on such a questionable view. Not many people may share the same thoughts on this, but if one truly looks deep enough and accepts the boundaries of the religions, they can't deny that this belief about suffering holds truth about life. To me, it is like one of my poem lines that reads: "Walker of the shadowed light,/ Bringer of great peace,/ Be life and all it has to offer,/ A greater want than ease." 5. The fifth award was given to the work
This is a beautiful piece that expresses a love and trust in life. It shows a want and a search for meaning in life, but an understanding that even though one can not define such a thing, inside the knowledge is already there. The imagery is beautiful and the flow to the piece is very soothing. The author does a beautiful job of turning such simple yet fine words into a creation of thought and beauty. I look forward to reading more works from this author and I hope that others can get what I got from this poem; a sense of peace. 6. The sixth award was given to the work
A haunting and mesmerizing short story, "Invalid Item" lures the reader into a world of lost hope and questioning of life. From the first sentence, "Silence is the darkness that crouches in all men," to the ending quote from Edgar Allen Poe, the author captivates the reader with a powerful expression of feeling. Though may not be intended, the author expresses the feeling of being overpowered by an unstoppable force. While in the story this force is the moon, in real life many can relate to it being symbolic of society, death, love, and other uncontrollable powers. The work also shows an inner pain of defeat and despair which allows the reader to relate to the character of Saul. Whether written as a simple piece of entertainment or an elaborate metaphor for life, this story lacks nothing less than any masterpiece.7. The seventh award was given to the work
A beautiful piece with great understanding of time. The author expresses well the journeys of life and the paths one can take. It shows the power of time, the good and the bad, the light and the dark that it can create and how mankind can get enthralled and trapped by it. It has a beautiful flow to it that captivates the reader and makes the reader unaware of time while reading about Time itself. Quite a unique piece in my opinion, and a very powerful write of poetry. 8. The eighth award was given to the work
I was quite surprised to stumble upon this while reviewing some newbies. I haven't found a piece I loved so much in a long time. It is just such a powerful and meaningful piece that there was no way I could not give this poem an awardicon. There are just so many feelings running through it. Feelings of sadness, of hope, of anger, of longing, of want. I just felt so much when I read it. And the images are so simple yet so vivid to me. I truly consider this a work to be proud of. I hope the author decides to stay here at Writing.com. She has much she could offer to the community. 9. The nineth award was given to the work
A beautifully poetic piece, I feel its meaning can be interpreted quite different for many readers. It flows very smoothly and has a great sense of emotion and thought in it. Though it is fairly clear why the author wrote it, to me there is so much depth in its words and phrases that it is a blending of many different ideas and pieces together, forming this one poem to remind the readers what poetry is. It's just a great read, and I am glad the author posted it here at Writing.com. 10. The tenth award was given to the work
A beautiful tribute to what is clearly a wonderful man, this poem touches the reader on so many levels. There is something divine and tranquil about it that allows the feelings of the poem to transcend the very form it is written in. It has been a while since I found such a touching piece on the site. With so many of the past recipients gone, I was debating whether this award was even worth continuing. This poem has proven that there are still many works out there that deserve some kind of "thank you for posting" other than a review, and I can only hope that this little award can be even 1% of the thanks this poem deserves.
