Life is there to be lived for those who appreciate the beauty that is in the life around them. Accepting what the fine weather brings to our door upon an unexpected breeze is accepting a gift from life itself.

I couldn\'t find \"Andy\'s Tin\" on YouTube,
Your poem and your actions are so heartwarming, for for many even a slice of bread is a boon in these troubling times.

Andy\'s Tin.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Bon Apres Midi Mon Oncle Andy. Merci pour La Musique eclectique ! Piano Accordians always evoke France for me ! It is a Yesterdays Instrument ! WE used to have some virtuosos in Liverpool who played for the Beach Missions in the 1980s. Now replaced by electronic keyboards ~ poor substitute ! Thanks for the memory ! Yes there is an instinctive share & care movement throughout the UK. Angela has a Plastic Box with ANGEL on it (Her name is the Spanish an ANGEL ) she is a good Confectioner and her BOX is always returned with a *Quid pro Quo* ! My Grandma tells me it was like that in WW2 ~ OK Let us hope & pray it will continue ! Our Poem today is about KIDS choosing more *Caring Professions* because of COVID ! As a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry I do visit Comprehensive Schools to talk about Careers in Science & Medicine. I always stress it has to begin EARLY with good grades in Maths & Science & Computing @ GCSE and Science & Maths @ A Level etc. There is no gain ~ without Intellectual Pain !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💛💛💛

Well, that\'s the sort of thing of real Christianity - love in action - showing it to \'the least one of Jesus brethren\', as He says and commends. Such people are sheep, not goats. Baaaa!
A church supports a Drop-in Centre for the homeless. I\'ve been buying goods sometimes, and putting it in the box in some shops.
Difficult to give online to some churches - they want regular donations only. Getting greedy? The y are seeking regular income I suppose.

Wonderous words Goldfinch. The Rumi piece you quote has been one of my fav\'s for a long time and is on my profile page here.

I think the message is unconditional love from Rumi. Let us put differences away and rejoice in our humanity.

dusk arising said:

Like love. It comes and gets you when you\'re not looking..... and look where that gets you.

Some people have a faith in a traditional deity instilled in them and everything in their life hangs upon that.
Some are positive minded and allow the stars to show them that in the way of things they are quite insignificant. The stars then become witness to the power of positive thinking.
The really clever ones, whilst acknowledging both of the above, have the capability of turning what others see as a negative, into a bright shining positive.

And the stars look down.

Good Morning UNCLE ANDY ~ Thanks for another Eternal Oldie from Your Song Satchel *Mary Hopkins & Those were the Days* and Tom Jones looks Younger than ME ! With a name like Brian Owen Williams (BOW !) I cant hide my Celtic Roots but (unlike our Friend ORCHIDEE) I can sing in TUNE. *Perfect Pitch* they call it in the Valleys and they*re not talking Cricket. Angela can sing because Shes Spanish so musically (as in most things !) we do HARMONISE !
Each New Day has its own distinctive MELODY ~ In order to CARPE DIEM ~ all we have to do is HARMONISE ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Joy to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey Cat !
