DYING EMBERS
dusk arising said:

Quite lovely. Brought to me the thought of how we are refreshed by tides of life. Embers of a yesterday tidied by another tide, another reassuringly relentless tide.

As each of those embers die during the night be assured that they will rise again when the sun rises in the dawn.

THE GREATER GOOD
Suresh said:

The simple Mantra
\"Do onto others what you\'d want others to do onto you\"
Should in practice avoid any confrontation
If we could only adhere to it.

TOUCHE UNCLE MICHEAL ~ We all have FREE WILL and MPS is a neutral site. Ive cancelled my POST od yesterday because it recieved such a negative BLAST from some (not you !) who seem to believe in NOTHING ! We have many FRIENDS who are HUMANISTS ~ ATHEISTS & MULTIFAITH ! As long as they stand for Positivity & The Greater Good I have no (real) problem with their BELIEFS ! However I can see no GOOD in ANARCHY and those who would destroy everything GOOD and have nothing to put in its place ! Perhaps MPS is NOT the forum for SINGUALAR debate in either POLITICS or RELIGION ! We CERTAINLY are not BIGOTS !

Peace & Joy to you & yours
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Please check our (non-controversial) on ALLIGATORS !

A good write and pic M. I suppose we don\'t have to agree with everyone else\'s beliefs, but we can\'t force anything on anyone.

So much truth in your words Michael, ethics and respect should be the guides to our lives. Thank you for your fine words.

dusk arising said:

Respect is very interesting. Should we quietly allow continual praise for all the good an omnipotent deity does whilst that same OMNIPOTENT deity hands out malformed babies, famine, disasterous weather, terrible afflictions, suffering etc etc... \'oh but thats mankind not god\'..... its downright insulting to be fed such crap day after day.
Persistence may keep some in the darkness of their narrow minded belief but they deserve as much stick as they get when the foist it upon the rest of us with a \'holier than thou\' self righteous stance.

Suresh said:

The amazing thing about those lamps is that the cotton wick burns forever, if ones keeps feeding the lamp with butter, and thus the message in my last Diwali Greetings

May all the lamps in your house shine bright
And the darkness be always kept at bay
May all your progeny stay healthy and flourish
Just as the lamp by the oil is nourished

Thnx for both pieces of art.

Michael,

I haven’t thought about or heard those two words “butter lamps” in a very long time! My Italian Great-Grandmother would always say ...
“Lasciate quelle candele di burro accese per il resto della vostra vita”...

Thank you for sharing your talents, Maestro! You’re amazing!

Been there in that place
Done that, but never answered
The lamps became dark.

If you really could be tunefully farty
Could you compete with Eric Satie
A real humdinger to make your nose twitch
Like an emboldened blast from Shostakovich
Or would you strain with face gone purple
Symphonic emissions by good old Purcell
But whenever you\'re windy just knock one off
Like thunderous horns of Rachmaninof

The only note I could muster was H2S, and that sent everybody scampering.
