Jazz Was Back.
L. B. Mek said:

that reminds me
I need to go catch some live jazz, someday soon
(a little tip,
wherever I travel in the world, I look-up jazz cafe\'s
knowing they\'ll give me the best taste of the community, in a safe and open environment,
its never failed me yet)
but then I haven\'t really travelled a lot either, comparatively...
(I think I will listen to some Ayler later)
thanks for sharing Andy
so glad your club survived and are back, really positive and encouraging to hear
(they don\'t mention this small victories of life, on the front pages and news stations)

Grief Safe.
A.H. Browning said:

Sometimes it’s challenging for me to throw those stones into the water, I sometimes want to hold onto them. It’s always better after letting the ocean have them, though. Thanks for your words and the beautiful music.

Good write Gold.
I did similar thing, though neighbours may think I had murdered someone or something!
I wrote names and words on an old shirt, of hurtful comments, etc. Then I cut the shirt up and burnt it! Therapeutic.

Yes, and in a church (which has its greedy side too though) a church member paid for someone else\'s goods as well as for their own.

Caring dove said:

Books can be so engaging . I don’t read much these days but maybe I should .., they say reading is good for the mind ! I have a reading app on my iPod ... maybe I should use it more .

It’s good to escape sometimes into another world , like in a book .

Nice read , Andy 🙂

Our One God.

Beautiful - a lesson we all need to learn.

Our One God.
L. B. Mek said:

Amen!
what people fail to understand, dear Poet
is, when they claim to be a devout follower of their \'One n Only\' God;
they\'re inadvertently, proclaiming themselves as an Atheist to the other 2\'999 or so, god\'s and deities this world knows...
Why not, we just all Respect each other - enough
to allow us to follow whatever path we choose for ourselves in life,
as long: as it doesn\'t harm another.
And no!
Capitalism\'s logic, isn\'t inevitably Perfect,
yes success equates to growth and that necessitates more resources, but
that doesn\'t mean we can\'t all share, equally!
Look at all the derelict buildings of worship, were they all necessary?
We can all still: find Unity
if we just utilise, Humility.
(and write\'s like yours my friend, is how we can learn to comprehend that universal Truth)
and so I thank you for being bold enough to share it, knowing the vultures will craving a chance to warp and sully your humanist message.
(and if you\'re a \'devout\' atheist, good for you
you\'re still a believer, in something - too
see, you just choose to believe, in nothing
but that choice, places your \'faith\' in something, however abstract..)
in short, we\'re all in the same
leaking boat
lets help each other and survive, side by side
one overcome bucket of water at a time...

dusk arising said:

As you know, I stand alongside your appreciation of what is god and the wonder of how we relate in our own personal spirituality.
It\'s good to reaffirm one\'s thoughts on this from time to time and your post serves in this respect very well.
Unlike many of the various christian and other religious pieces often seen on MPS there is no hint of the patronising or condescention in your writing.
We are spiritual beings.

La Traviata.
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

‘La Traviata’ is one of my favorites. When you’re fully engaged in something you’re truly enjoying, time seems to go faster than it actually does.
Thank you for sharing.

La Traviata.
L. B. Mek said:

\'Not knowing where the time had gone,
Over two hours lost in my life,
But so much time enjoyed,
Very much enjoyed\'
a great read Andy, enticingly worded
as-ever, imbued with your unassuming quality, to emote your feeling\'s and thoughts
so effortlessly, relatable and accessible\'..
thank you!
