Brilliant!! Such a metaphor here Andy. I feel that I have seen this happen having lived for a while where the ploughing was done by oxen and there being no noise of even cars around. I feel that technology in general is the great grey beast that has put us all out to pasture. Great images in this piece as well. Loved it.

I had shingles for so long, I forgot about it lol now I\'m feeling more or less like my old self. Positive attitude is truly a wonderful tool, and now a days we literally have cures for most things thanks to the wonderful research throughout the world laughter indeed has kept me here with you all in these challenging months that would have been so much more challenging without you all. So I adore this write because you give the reader the opportunity to reflect on personal moments yet sending your positivity at the same time. Kudos Signore Goldfinch. 🌹

So true Gold and though being loved is a wonderful thing and ideal it is as you say from within and the giving of love that makes the difference.

A fine write Gold. Love surely wins through in the end, whether sooner or later.
Re: health. Dang it! Those conservationists got a lot to answer for. They suggested to me to not breathe for 24 hours to save the planet some air.
I did it. but didn\'t feel well after it.

sorenbarrett said:

Here it has been raining for days and some houses are up to the roof top. Rain need not be only physical and emotional rain is no fun to play in. I would like to play in the sunshine as well. At least that\'s what Noah said.
