I agree. Even if you don\'t travel you can still engage and find the world a more interesting place.

A sweet remembrance, Andy. What kind of coffee was that? Do they sell it in the States?
This poem was short and to the point. Plainly spoken and straight from the heart. Loved it.- Phil A

Bella Shepard said:

Great write my friend, you make me yearn for the long lost days of dial phones that I remember so well. We\'ve gained convenience and access 24/7, but we\'ve lost the ablity to use time in a meaningful way, with those we love and care about. Welcome back!

Good to see you back again Andy - have missed your fine postings - I do so agree re. the mobile phones of today - personal and family relationships have taken a back-step and I do hope one day that they will recover

sorenbarrett said:

How appropriate on Mother\'s Day. So true Gold modern technology seems to have broken social ties. Yes ther is face book etc. but this too has divided us not united us. Gone are the days where people knew their neighbors and sat and talked to them on the porch. Gone are the days of a family dinner conversation now it is text at the table.

Old Is Beautiful.
arqios said:

Once after learning to accept the grace and lines of age a new journey begins and excites, the beauty of \'old\' unfurls like a breeze that is neither harsh or still. Just right.

Yes, this psychological stuff of \'Who am I?\' etc. Dunno why all the fuss. The answer is \'Me!!\' lol.
Doh! a course got a bit patronising. It said \'People over 70 are considered old, can\'t learn much new stuff, become less intelligent\'. Then described them as somewhat decrepit. Maybe someone young wrote the course?

We Have Memories.
Bobby O said:

For fun and exploration of etymology I read this poem out loud twice with an opposite voice each time. First was a winsome whisper , and the phrases danced eagerly with shy optimism that this HOPE will be reached , skipping roads that traveled through doubt and it was a satisfying belief, a mantra sent to serve for more and many days. Then opposite and starkly different was the VOICE OF A COMMAND. AN IMAGINED Authoritative figure delivered loudly each phrase, it unloaded with a Practiced certainty as if this metaphorical Roadmap was critical to follow The underlying suggestive ā€œother ā€œ,, a corralled distasteful failure, much like a visit to Dante’s regions of hell. ā€œWin One For The Gipperā€ as Rockne desperatelly Cajoled, imminent destruction a General’s pleas to leap from the abyss , from this VOICE we listened and achieved.

That song starts me blubbing.
So does any song I sing, to anyone who hears it - cos it\'s me that\'s singing it! lol
