ha! I like the positivity in your certainty of a time to come: \'after lockdown\'...
my cynicism lacks the fortitude to look beyond a simple hope for humanity\'s evergreen adaptability to create a framework of a stable(ish) society without devolving to all out anarchy, before we ever glimpse an end to this Plague of misery,
(tired of the false re-starts to normality!) either we agree to sacrifice lives for the survival of our economy or we ALL (not just some!) agree to lockdown until the virus is completely contained, we are losing a whole f\'cking year with this endless dance of back-n-forth disjointedly shallow Government strategies!
I am sorry for sounding-off in your comments section,
but seriously its getting beyond my ability to fathom the levels of abundant ineptitude in those WE CHOOSE to govern us... at this rate we\'ll be better-of regressing to tyrannical leadership systems, at least we can trust in their sociopathic need for self-survival to get things done!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD MONTAG UNCLE ANDY - Thanks for Pachabel*s Canon & Stunnin Video we love it - AMEN. We consider LOCKDOWN has ha more efect on the Elderly & Infirmed because of lacke of Social Mobility etc. Now that Brian & I are both back in FT Work we are meeting People & Shopping & using Pub & Cafes etc etc. I dont think that for many LIFE (as we knew it) may not return their lifetime ? Angela & I hpe to have another 50 years and in 5 yeras time we will remember COVID 19 (with nostalgia) as we now remember *9 / 11* ( Brian was there) 19 years ago ! Meanwhie we have to KEEP SAFE and follow the Governments Rules etc.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

Good write Gold.
I feel we will reach it, but some of it is prolonged because of our own forgetfulness - and stupidity in some cases.
I forget social distancing at times, I admit. I think \'Oops, I\'m too close to someone\'. But some queue close together at times; walk wrong way down one-way streets; don\'t wear masks in shops.
Can\'t we all remember to do simple things?
Well, better than Belarus. \'Drink vodka to stave off crisis\', the leaders said. Doh! I popped round with the water.

Hippie Am I.

I must agree with the sentiment of this poem. Love is surely the answer. Yet in this warrior world we have created, people seem to be reaching out to strongman warlords. No wonder the world is becoming overheated.
GF60 if it becomes possible to return to the days of Hippies and free love I will line up for the first Love-in. Yes and some great music too. - Phil A.

All you need is love. When they ridicule the idealist, the one who places the flower in the rifle barrel, who lies down before the tank, they make one with the Roman soldiers who hung the Rebel on the wooden cross among the thieves. They smirk, because they know not what they do. Thanks for the message today.

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Sabbath Uncle Andy ~ love the VIDEO and Music that is *Out of this World ! *PHOSPHINE (PH3) is a biomolecule ~ But not much to go on ! There is NO scientific evidence to indicate that *If the conditions were right* Life would EVOLVE anywhere & everywhere in the UNIVERSE! Weve been searching diligently for over 50 years & found nothing ~ why is it so so elusive ? When its so so Prolific on Earth ? Perhaps there is some Truth in Genesis ? Of course Science cant say *IN the beginning God Created the Heavens & Earth* because thats not Physics ~ thats Metaphysics !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey ! ! !

this has the making of an intriguing premise for a sci-fi novella Andy, worth dabbling with maybe?
either way a contemplative write of understandably frustrated commentary on humanity\'s unnecessarily gluttonous consumption of the nature that sustains us

BRIAN HERE ~ Bon Apres Midi ~ Mon Oncle Andy. Loved the VIDEO it revoked many happy memories of PINK PANTHER Films. Love the Picture & the Poem. Despite being a *Cat Person* I have to admit the Dogs do have a special affinity with MAN ~ especially if you stroke them the right way. I often see Dogs in a CAFF and always say hello and give t hem a PAT & a STROKE ! The only CAT one sees in a CAFF belongs to the owner and thereby hangs a tail ! For our Seniors Group @ College (Silver Surfers) a Lady comes with a PAT~DOG. Who greets and is patted by everyone (The DOG not the Lady ! She dedscibes her visits to *Rest Homes* (where the Residents cant have a Dog or Cat ~ C*est la Vie) and the Staff say some Residents come alive again *When the DOG comes in !*

Blessings & Peace & Joy to Y ou & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey Cat ! ! !

Oh lol, fine write and pic Gold.
We have a neighbour\'s cat - one of a pair. It turns up for food and sleeps a while. It makes a big fuss for food. He can get bit greedy.

Touched by Literature.

Every author\'s inner desire is to emotionally affect their reader surely.

I am motly inspired by the poetry upon mps. Yours included.

Thinking about it, it\'s impossible to make a comment here without being inspired. Though judging by the amount of reads my work gets comapred to the number of comments i\'m failing badly or there are plain lazy readers out there.

How can one live without the string quartets of \'Chikers?\' LOL

Ok so i\'m all ears... listening as i write... (pause)

So i closed my eyes and relaxed into this, and i mean really relaxed. I am quite amazed at the beauty of this piece and the finesse of the players. I felt various scenes of a life story were being related to me. Surprised by the gentle pizzicato and the creative use of tone and harmony.... as if an orchestra had begun to accompany them at times.

Truly amazing music. Something i had not experienced before and i must find time to enjoy.
