Summit of Life.
L. B. Mek said:

\'But each time I arose into a better person.
There have been fissures and boulders,
Some taking time to overcome,
Bit overcome them I did
And they helped me to where I am.\'
another drop of wisdom shared from that Ocean you have to call-on, a wonderfully life affirming write Andy

Fay Slimm. said:

If anyone can write on the language of music it has to be you dear Andy - - this power you capture in your gem of a write. Thank you for sharing the magic which joins the whole world together.

Language and Music.
Michael Edwards said:

The voice is a wonderful instrument - it matters not what the language is - enjoy it for the beauty of the sounds it makes. Unless it\'s Orchis of course (sorry Orchi).

dusk arising said:

During my life as atradesman working in peoples homes i had the misfortune to come across one lady who told me in no uncertain terms that she did not like music. To say she was quite a noteable character would be an understatement for i believe there were very few things she actually did like. I haven\'t found anyone yet who liked her. (No this isn\'t a mother-in-law joke).

Tides of Fortune.
dusk arising said:

Ah yes, pearls of wisdom from star trek..... now that we are all aged fans with typical water works age related deterioration I have modified a well know Spock phrase \"Go forth and prostate\".

Each poetic opportunity encourages us to \"boldly go where no man has gone before\"..... which used to we said about virginity.

orchidee said:

Good wite Gold. Aww - they wish the tide had turned, and brought my ship into Hastings shore in 1066. But I just had to turn up, didn\'t I?! lol.

Darkness to Light.
L. B. Mek said:

often Dylan Thomas\' words are utilised for times of struggle and hardship, but that line:
\'Rage, rage against the dying of the light\'
has always represented an expression of choice to me, we all can choose in our daily lives and those bleakest of times to find a shard of tangible hope to grip, even if that comes in the form acceptance

orchidee said:

We\'re in the darker nights now!
Erm, aren\'t they always dark? And isn\'t it the same sort of darkness throughout the year?! lol.

orchidee said:

Good write Gold.
I\'m gonna waffle. We changed clocks in the houes - had the extra hour.
Then I changed my watch later on - and got another extra hour?! I\'m only fooling myself. lol.
If only I had forgotten to put my watch FORWARD in March 1066, I would have turned up late for Hastings, and not mucked it all up.

dusk arising said:

What they euphemistically call the time of dark nights..... i\'m going to have a guy fawkes bonfire and let off a firework.... a thrill to look forward to.

All my timepieces show differing minutes. The BBC annoys me because it uses different minutes to my ISP which is suppoesd to keep my PC running at the correct time.... then there\'s my phone... mind of it\'s own... shall i mention my various wristwatches..... no i\'m not wristwatch vain but having done manual tasks one has different watches for different occasions but they\'re all the same headache when BST comes around... or not!

Fay Slimm. said:

Ye life is often what we see and make for ourselves my friend - our powerful perception creates a world of either light or dark - so good that you fill your world with sunshine dear Andy.

Darkness to Light.
Neville said:


in a world of contrasts, there is a unity of opposites .. it is very much a perceptual thing ... but I take your point GF60 and which you make well here...

Darkness to Light.
orchidee said:

Good write Gold.
Doh! We\'re moving into the darkness, the evenings, that is. But lighter mornings for a while.
The end of BST. Yep, we did have some British Summer Time. I\'m sure it was more than them two days in June!
