oooooo shades of Celtic woodlands in the mist....... let\'s go hug a tree! I once knew an woman whose Italian husband left her to run away to England to become a Druid.... with a young nymph of course..... she just sighed and said \"he\'s old, bald and broke - she won\'t stay long\"....... what got me going on that! Having gone off like that should add that I love your imagery and words of course!!!

I often wonder if pragmatism and ideology can co-exist--especially extreme ideology.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
GOOD MORNING UNCLE MIKE ~ Sitting on the Philosophers Stone ; TODAY ?
PRAGMATISM : Dealing with things Sensibly & Reasonably in a way that is based on Practical and Realistic consideration rather than intellectual & Theoretical. Brian & I both base our Philosophy and life Style on GODS WORD the BIBLE which is a very practical Guidebook for Living (and surviving) as a Young Couple in the 21st C ! So I guess you could call us EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN PRAGMATISTS & REALISTS. What I have found encouraging is that This Philosophy works on the other side of the World in New Zealand especially among the MAORIS who respect my FAITH in their Creator God. Im not PREACHING Uncle Mike : just TESTIFYING ~ OK. Love in the Spirit as always ANGELA 🧡

A different tack maybe from me - I feel, spiritually anyway, that the Enlightenment era caused people to be more in the dark. \'Liberal\' can bring supposed freedom, but may end up bring more traps and snares.
Now - where\'s me torch to enlighten me? And where\'s the key to the padlock on these chains, trapping me in this liberal stuff?!

The truth and freedom in our lives are certainly being eroded in our lives by those in power. Ideology is different for each individual.
My ideal life is mine alone, other may like my ideals but they should not be forced on others.
The postcard is on the way.
Good Morning Michael.

Wow wow you did a fantastic lil poem describing each season how it is in your place so I get the idea of exotic seasonal wonders. My fav were the march acrostic and May and nov but u did justice poetically to each month and the imagery. I have an unposted poem on each season and month how it is where I live but yours is of course more eloquent and impressive. Kudos.
So nice to read from your ink again, Pleez do review/comment my newest poem too.

I\'ve sat with people who do this.......... trying not to laugh. Pomposity is embarrassing if you really see through it. Let\'s separate the pompous from the really knowledgeable who can actually tell you all about the wine you are drinking - a sort of clever hobby or brain game..........

These are beautiful pictures Michael! You even make the dreary months sound good - but you are forgetting climate change and microburst storms and ice storms that knock down trees and floods and heat waves that cook gardens. That was all this year....... may we all see a more normal flow of months to come!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
SHE was only the Wine Merchants Daughter but Plonkers never got their way with HER. All her Beaus were Full Bodies & Fino !
UNCLE MIKE : My glass was HALF FULL when I read the TITLE but HALF EMPTY when I read the Poem ! Because my Dad is a respected Wine Merchant I was the President of the College Eonophilic Society and took great pleasure in sharing the Vintners description of the Wine before a tasting! My knowledge of Wine was one of the 250 reasons Brian fell in love with Me and his love of fine wine that made Me fall in love with Him. Competent Sommelier adds great value to a High Class Restaurant : OK. When my DAD describes a £20+ bottle of Red Rioja as having a mellow palette, with coconut & soft red fruit character with soft tannins, a pleasing nose & perfect with steak! He is only doing his JOB! It ameliorates the experience ad when I open the bottle (with reverence) pour a little into my glass swirl it and test its nose and then sip it to savour its quality : I agree with my DAD that it is everything it says on the bottle and it is worth every penny! English People who \"Buy a Bottle with a meal\" make three mistakes. 1. They wont ask for the Sommeliers advice (they assume he suggest an expensive bottle) 2. They tend to choose the cheaper wines 3. They have a \"One Bottle fits all\" mentality when the mains chosen may be Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Fish, Vegetarian etc all of which really require a DIFFERENT WINE. If I take Friends to a decent restaurant (with a Somellier) and everyone has ordered their Main : I ask him to suggest an appropriate WINE by the GLASS for each main. If someone queries the cost I always offer to pay the Drinks Bill (dont tell BRIAN its the House fund!). In that way everyone gets a Glass of Wine to their Palate (dry or medium dry) and on which complements the food. Whe I go out with the Staff from the Physio & Radio Department at least I persuade them to order an agreed Bottle of Red & White initially : OK. I have 2O years of Wine Tasting : My DAD strated educating our palettes @ 10 so I suppose I am not your average \"Dolly on a Date\" who always chooses ROSE because its Barbie Doll Pink. I like the 21st C because Men under 40 will accept that a Lady may possibly : just possible know something about FINE WINE! Love the HOUSE sculptures and BRIAN & I want to order one for our New Home. We intend to BUY or long term rent when I get back to Essex in NOVEMBER 2019. Feddback welcome on my OENOIC observations : I still Love YOU : ANGELA XXXX

I didn\'t realise wine was wet and comes in bottles? Hmm, what have I been drinking all these years?
Just call me if your wine is too acidic. I\'m always obliging to add water to any alcoholic beverage.
Am I trying to poison everyone? I used some out-of-date grape juice that a church used instead of wine for Communion. No standing on ceremony. Someone nipped to the shops, then \'sanctified\' the grape juice with a prayer over it.

I must be everso sophisticated because there are actually wines i wouldn\'t bother buying again because they didn\'t please my palate. I have no idea why but most certainly its not as simple as it\'s either red, white or rose.

I love your comments about finding art everywhere Michael - so much that is beautiful if people look. It\'s the fakeness of the art world when it involves money that gets me - I\'ll never get over seeing a white canvas painted white in the Guggenheim (years ago) called White on White....... ummmmmmmmm really?
