The Violin Wept
Fay Slimm. said:
The power of your words flooded my heart too as the violin brought with its minor key all the woes and the sadness humanity is challenged with in these very difficult days - -my tears fall so many times yet things still stay the same - - such an apt choice of violin music too.

And the \'news\' does not make it any better. We can be totally confused sometimes - are some things really as bad as reported? Re: that terrible weather you were forecast to have, for example.

simple, says it best dear Poet
oft, we\'re so busy running
we\'ve become deaf
to our own intuitive thoughts
and now we\'re susceptible
to every little lie, or fake news
having lost
our capacity, to heed the veracity
in those wise, silence whispers
our ancestors
spent so long trying to cultivate..
I truly believe, all that we need
we can excavate from within
even that trait, to welcome
stillness and solitude
as a utility in our lives and not necessarily
a guaranteed, gateway to depression
and misery..
we\'re all so much more capable
than we Fear, we are
I think, that\'s the message
I read in your succinct write
such a soothing and empowering message!
thank you

Yes lots I believe react badly to silence and solitude in these chaotically busy days -- I pity those whose New Year continues full of material distractions that stifle so easily the lessons of silence. Such a thought provoking write dear Bella and thank you for this needed reminder.

Bella I look forward to your poems and how they share the common beauty in this world that often goes unnoticed. My favorite episodes and movies by Mr. Bean were just that because he didn\'t speak. He needed no words to convey comedy and make me laugh. laughter is the best ,medicine.

\'Aligning pencils on the desk
Unable to take action\'
so relatable, in our procrastination
all humanity is aligned...
lol
(just the other day
I was reminiscing with someone
about the mr bean specials on tv
and how festive season tv, as a whole
was such a central part of our childhoods
how we would get the tv guides
and circle everything we wanted to watch..
I appreciate progress
but I mourn for those nuggets
that accumulated, to make
our festive seasons that more special
because it took effort to make them, so...
oh well, my grey\'s allows me
to nag a little, but only a little...
(Hope you have a lovely festive season, dear Poet
thanks for all the great reads you\'ve shared)

If I could offer an award for bringing a smile to this old fellas face, I would unreservedly award you gold for this magnificent take on one of my favourite characters
.. Nine yes x9 perfectly formed rhyming verses and each one building on its predecessor and keeping to script is no easy task .. I rarely change my mind these days having once made it up, but on this occasion feel compelled to swap the gold star for a platinum one :) x

It is what keeps many (but certainly not all) with their \'nose to the grindstone and their shoulder the wheel\'.
I personally cannot complain, but I have a feeling there should be another way...and that\'s being super polite about it!

I could\'t agree more. We, in our arrogance, tend to aggrandize ourselves, when we are nothing more than another part of nature, no more and no less than the others. I love the last two lines.

\'Our very biology challenged our mortality\'
as our very mortality, ravaged
our cognitive capacity to appreciate
breath...
(I too believe in that universal oneness of all things
and wonder, like Spinoza
at the sheer majesty of it all)
a read, that transports me
beyond reality\'s dark sky limitations
dear Poet, thank you!

Last night we walked in a fairy-lit rooftop garden (a mini forest actually) and saw a stylised glimpse of home. That we are by nature part of something truly magnificent makes a primal tug and beckons us home.
