Happy Birthday Mark!
My gift to you is this simple note on difficult clay: Clay that is at first hard to shape and form is merely awaiting the hands of the visionary with the power to release the beauty that lies deep within.
25 is a great year, live -- and love -- it up!!
Stay fierce.
Remain brilliant.
And always...BE...A...FREAK!!!
much luv,
Jenna (JaguarChick)
Happy Birthday, Mark!
I wrote a haiku for you.
A small gift of words.

all the happiness and joy
that you brought to me.

Dear Mark,
I just wanted to wish a fellow Virgo a Happy Birthday. Thank you for making my Wednesday and Thursday nights this summer enjoyable and for helping me to relive my love for dance.
Here is a haiku I wrote in honor of your birthday:
Today is the day
A lovely spirit was born
To spread joy to all
I wish you all of the best, and I look forward to seeing you when the tour comes to Miami.
Sincerely,
Melissa
Mark -
You have enthralled us by your beauty of emotion, movement and retracing life in dance.
May this year bring that beauty back to you.
Happy Birthday!

Happy 25th Mark! Thanks for sharing yourself, and your art this summer! I can't wait to see the amazing things you have in store!
Enjoy your day, and like others have said, eat lots of cake. My four year old son, who is a big fan of yours, as well as birthday cake, is very concerned that "Mark won't get to eat birfday cake if he is practicin dancin too much!" ;)
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Keelie/mkiklie, Cooper (age 4)
Nelson Mandela once said:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?"
Thank you Mark, for embracing your light.
Here is my humble haiku birthday offering:
A gentle kind soul
speaks completely through the dance
left of the centre
All the best on your birthday,
Lana (OhCanada), Olivia (age 11) and Ava (age 9)

Hi Mark! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I wanna thank you for being such a huge part of my summer and dancing your heart out every time you were on stage. You were a joy to watch each week and you were Season 4 for me. I can't wait to see you on tour in Charlotte! Hope your birthday's as splendid as you are!
Love, one of your Markers, Kay (Tickety)
Mark, I've never written on any threads before--though I read all of yours--because, with my lack of technical savvy, I'm doing good to turn on the computer. Still, I couldn't miss this opportunity to wish you a VERY HAPPY birthday. You may not have won the show, but you've won so many hearts, down and around and all the way up. I hope you really feel the love on your birthday!
Counting the days to Pensacola,
Jennifer
