Who Needs Perfection.
SureshG said:

Being perfect and aiming for perfection are both unattainable, as poetically stated by you.
I forever fondly remember my attending this opera at the “Baths of Caracalla” near Rome in the eighties.

Who Needs Perfection.
Christina8 said:

No we don\'t need perfection. We need only be happy and satisfied with current circumstances. From the poor to middle class to the rich, we hopefully have one thing in common, we are grateful for our loved ones!

Who Needs Perfection.
L. B. Mek said:

\'But if, if you reached it
For what would you then aim?\'
this is why, I will die
a devout scribbler
and never, a professed poet...
(what wise words, Andy)

Who Needs Perfection.
dusk arising said:

Well I\'ve reached the grand old age of being just a tad younger than you without any perfection in my life so far.... so I guess you\'re right. Who needs it?

orchidee said:

Yes, I suppose there wouldn\'t be anything to do, if we were all perfect all at once.
I know it - striving for singing perfection. I\'ve only had 9,453 lessons so far. lol.

Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

Glad you enjoyed Verdi’s ‘Rigoletto’.
One of my favorite operas with one of my favorite arias, ‘La Donna è mobile’.

Is there such a thing as perfection? And as you stated, ‘who needs’ anyway. 😉

Thank you for sharing.

dusk arising said:

A tuneful fart greeted the throwing back of the quilt - Mahler i do believe! Or was it the opening trumpet blast of Scheherazade?

Schubert Starts The Day
Bella Shepard said:

A morning without music is like a morning without sunshine. My dawn walks are always accompanied with music from my phone and it is always the best start to my day. Thank you for reminding us what music can do for us.

Schubert Starts The Day
L. B. Mek said:

I love the conductor\'s who lose themselves
in their passion for the music
than merely
their strive for perfection...
just watching their showcasing of emotional resonance
with each note
makes me believe, and surrender
my insecurities
that stem from my uncultured reality
and classical music\'s air of self-importance...
that\'s why, till the very end
I\'ll strive to nurture \'an ear\'
for True music..
(a lovely video
and soothing words, Andy
for us who cherish
the solace
music, gifts our lives)

That Book.
dusk arising said:

Plugged the headphones in and glad I did. Really enjoyed Rick Braun\'s playing. I love the velvet sound of a flugel horn. I shall have to explore. Thank you.

Yes, isn\'t that just what a good book is all about but don\'t you just miss it so much after that last page..

More Wonderful.
Crowns4Christ said:

I can answer your question why,
You both had great marriages,and your wife and her husband passed, your marriages were to prepare you for each other Andy, just listen, God let you have a great marriage and you learned how to be a terrific husband,you experienced a fraction of what love is, when your spouse\'s passed it closed a door, and yes it was painful,but God already had a plan, after a while,you fell into a love,a true love,see Andy,we all have to walk through pain and get burned,to get to the great stuff, I\'m not preaching at you, I m just trying to show you that God has never once left you

More Wonderful.
L. B. Mek said:

this is why, we choose to believe
in Love
because nothing comes close
when
the real thing, enters our lives..
(so happy for you, dear Poet
enjoy the flight
indulge and soar high, forget
tomorrow\'s
uncertainties and questions
simply
cherish the now and squeeze it
for all its got!)
