***Xipe Totec Appreciation Thread***
I was wandering in my dusty archives recently, and I realized that Xipe Totec has been posting some truly wonderful stuff...

Poems...

YouTube videos...

Pictures...

Comforting words...

The guy is a treasure, IMHO!

Major props to our own Xipe Totec!




:applause: :applause:

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

7. My dear flvegan...
You know I wasn't talking about that....

And as a retired Mod, I have nothing to say about it either....

Xipe is a terrific guy, and I love him...

11. I know that Peggy. I just added my own
additional reason as to why I appreciate this person. It was from me. If it was wrong to say, then there will be a "Deleted Message" in that space at some point in the future.

14. This doesn't sound like appreciation.
Is "troll" a good thing now?

And did not let you revise,
before I replied.

26. ...
Many think that this name is just cruel
when in fact he’s an Aztec crown jewel.
to feed kind and kin,
he sheds his own skin
Xipe Totec’s the God of renewal.

23. Xipe Totec has a heart of gold!
In fact, I read that he was the Aztec's patron god of goldsmiths. How apropos is that?

28. I am absolutely sure I don't know what you mean
And perhaps it is best if I didn't know what you mean...

I enjoy your posts, and your wicked sense of humor.

So I would prefer to continue in that vein; unencumbered by any guilty knowledge...

That means something.

30. Our Xipe Totec
Rarely ruffles the feathers
But he feeds wild geese.

31. Xipe Totec posted the perfect poem...
For my dad's burial service. Reading it at the grave site was the last formal thing we did. It gave just the right perspective. Thanks for that, Xipe Totec.

33. Don't thank me, thank Amado Nervo
Who wrote it.

I too read that poem at the graveside of two of my brothers, and learned it because my father loved this poem so much.

I am humbled by your remarks, and thank you from my heart.
