_{[PLEASE view this part of my journal : Alegria by Le Cirque du Soleil, it will explain how these sentences and the song help me and can help you.
This is the song that gave me the idea of this event and i want that EVERYONE could read it, hear it, view it. It will bring light in your eyes and joy to your heart!]}



There was something flying through my mind and heart.
Some times ago i had problems in my life, many deviants supported me.
We all pass through hard moments in our life, and there is so much solidarity and carying feelings here that i wanted to make a special day on dA for spreading love.

I remember having dark ideas, being depressed... i remember listening to a song that brighten my heart and put tears of joy into my eyes.

So why not sharing all that with you all? Why not showing our feelings to dA?



AUGUST 9th
"Special Show your Love Day".
In The French Calendar it is the day of "Saint Love"!

Show your love to those you love, give a hand to those who need it!

This day will be filled with events! Let's show our love for this community, artists, deviants and most importantly our favorite charities and humanitary projects!! Awareness is the key! Spreading the word about these causes with our art is sometimes the very best thing we can do!

Depression?
Animals?
Lyme Disease?
Aids?
Breast Cancer?
Hunger?
Peace?

Above all we can show our support to deviants who need a hand, kind words, support, and not only deviants but people around us in our family, relatives, neighbors.
Well anything in our life that makes our hearts beat!


What do you think about this? Are you ready to get involved? Is your group? Is your favorite chatroom? Your club? What a great way to get your art noticed and your favorite "love."

Alegria


When i was down i heard this song. it gave me so much, that i wanted that you could discovered it.
It's for those who actually feel bad, to send a bit of joy in their heart. I personally think about some deviants that i know. I'm here for you sweet hearts, listen to this.... you'll see.

Le Cirque du Soleil is a Circus company from Canada/Québec. Their last show is named "Alegria". The song i want to spotlight here has the same name.
Visit the website in english : [link] and listen to the song here : [link]
Visitez le site en français : [link] et écoutez la chanson ici : [link]

At the begining of the clip you can read this in french (i translated it under) and that's the message i want to deliver to you all today and ever :

Si tu n'as pas de voix
HURLE
Si tu n'as pas de jambes
COURS
Si tu n'as pas d'espoir
INVENTE


If you have no voice
SHOUT
If you have no legs
RUN
If you have no hope
INVENT



ALEGRÍA

Alegría
Un hymne à la joie…
Un rêve de lumière…
où l'imprévu
surprend à chaque tournant.

Alegría is a mood, a state of mind.
The themes of the show, whose name means "jubilation" in Spanish, are many.
Power and the handing down of power over time, the evolution from ancient monarchies to modern democracies, old age, youth—it is against this backdrop that the characters of Alegría play out their lives.
Kings' fools, minstrels, beggars, old aristocrats and children make up its universe, along with the clowns, who alone are able to resist the passing of time and the social transformations that accompany it.


- Lyrics -

<sub>Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridar
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena, seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream of joy and sorrow,
so extreme
There is love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous, magical feeling

Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridar
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena, seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena, seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Allegria
Como la luz de la vida
Alegria
Como un payaso que grita
Allegria
Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena,
Como la rabia de amar
Allegria
Como un asalto de felicidad

Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena,
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Como un asalto de felicidad

There is love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous, magical feeling</sub>

There are communities that spread the love over there (listed here the active ones) :

You can give to this club some of your creations, they will sell them for a humanitarian/social cause.


They are here for the benefit of people who suffer from some form of mental condition or emotional turmoil. This is a place where you are in the company of others who will understand where you are coming from!


They are here to help you as the artist gain exposure.


Circle of Friends is a group that will readily offer any type of support, and friendship to people on DA that are having problems and might need to talk to someone. It is not your typical club, but we feel it is of great importance to show support to our fellow deviants when they need it.


We want to strive to creating a well organised deviant sister program. Just see it as your own personal Sisterland.


This account provides to feature journals with features, to expose the deviants that have featuring-journal, to expose deserving artists with features


This is a community created to support the artists that suffer with eating disorders, like bulimia, anorexia, compulsive over-eating and the artists who have depressive behaviours like harming themselves, suicidal thoughts and sadness. You'll find information about eating disorders and depression, their symptoms, consequences, causes and some help in how to do deal with them.


Heart-Club exist to promote an environment that influences artists to create art in any media that expresses love and care for others, be it another human, an animal, or anything else personal to the artist. We are a HEART-ART-GIFT-GIVER Club and we invite all carers and givers who appreciate the Heart to join us in our indeavors


Through this group, we will be able to express to one another through creativity while inspiring each other, as well as be able to find each other more easily for those times when you just need someone to talk to who gets it. This is not a support group, it is a subcommunity among a larger community of artists. First the art, then the illness, and above it all, us.


The Senior Mentoring Project was created to give personal attention to new artists and their crafts from seniors around deviantART.


Help you receive more comments, favorites, pageviews, devwatches, and friends!
