The future is beautiful too and your river will always be there to spur you on. All around is beauty and soon the spring will be here. New opportunities to do new things lay ahead.

A fine write Gold. I read part of a book. A character in it looked into a river. Looking ever deeper, he somehow saw at the bottom of the river-bed the primeval river that was in the Garden of Eden. Though book was a bit spooky. I did not read it all.

A great write Goldfinch60.

Beauty as seen by the singer Julia Fordham is about being yourself.

We are all unique divine masterpieces created by the Lord God Almighty all special in our own way.

Keep writing FineB

BRIAN HERE ! Thanks for sharing Uncle Andy ~ Loved *The World is Waiting for the Sunrise* by George Lewis. I have played Acoustic Steel Guitar in a trad Jazz Band ~ loved the Guitar Solos but could never match DJANGO ! I agree with the sentiments in your Poem ! We are all born different (WEIRD ?) and the Good Book says *Dont let this World press you into its Mold !* Some people consider ALL POETS are WEIRD ~ AMEN

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™
We are having a bit of a drive on FUSIONS. There was

My philosophy exactly ! Nicely put and written. It\'s very easy to feel you have to mold to others wishes but I don\'t think it ever helps in the long run.

My world of music is/was filled with weird eccentric artists e.g. stanley clarke, jaco pastorius, charlie parker who each were doing it differently in their day. Now their styles and statements have become commonplace in our everyday music.
I have always been a bit of an oddball i suppose. I wholeheartedly support your message today. Every flock needs a renegade.

You flatter me with such a super response - and now I look to cutting the first rose of the year wit its promise of what\'s to come.

Where Roses Grow.
dusk arising said:

Wheh i was a keen photographer my theme was to capture how nature reclaims what mankind has discarded. Nature prevails.
The roses will surely grow again for they have a rich soil in which to live and bring joy.

Where Roses Grow.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGEA HERE - GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY - Love FLY ME TO THE MOON - very evocative. Thanks for sharing and for two more excellent Stanzas about Roses a la Uncle Mike !

You do not sorrow
Like those that have NO HOPE
Death doth hide - But not divide
It is as though - The rose that bloomed
Upon your Trellis Fence
Has blossemed on the Other Side
You will see her lovely Face
Some bright Golden Morning
When the clouds have lifted
And the shades have flown
No more darkness Pain or Death
Heart aches gone forever
No more Night only Light
YOU WILL SEE HER FACE - AMEN !

I am sending these words of Comfort & Encouragement
As you face this short period of separation - BUT
With JOYCE not by your side - but ever in your HEART - AMEN

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

Final Parting.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks for sharing Uncle Andy ~ We found the music very fitting to the passing of your beloved JOYCE into the Spirit World & appearing as a shining Star. We have read all the comments & your responses ~ very moving. You & Joyce are well loved on MPS. We love the Poem and Your Assurance that You will both be reunited in the Spirit World. We also have that Assurance for each other when the time comes ~ but ours is as yet untested. Yours has been tested & vinicated. The Assurance of life beyond Death & a certain reunion can lessen the sorrow & grief and enable you to face the FUTURE. We have both experienced this in the death of a Sibling. You are always in our prayers as you move forward alone Physically but with Joyce always present in your Heart ~ AMEN. Thanks for sharing it is great comfort to us as we face our own marriage ina few weeks time ~ AMEN !

Love & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

Reading your sad but comforting poem brought me near tears dear Andy - your words show the depth of the wonderful soul-closeness you have with Joyce and that bond will surely live forever for love cannot die. Thank you for sharing yesterday with us.

Ooh Ironing!
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Uncle Andy - Thanks for Flash Mob Video - I love them ! Brian & I have only taken part in one ~ the Hallelujah Chorus in a Department Store with the Church Choir. There were about 30 of us ! A Quartet started singing *O Holy Night* with a keyboard. We appeared as Spectators (in our topcoats - we had our Choir Robes undearneath !) When *O Holy Night* was completed the keyboard played the intro to The HC and we removed our topcoats and the shoppers realised we were infact a Choir ! The applause when we finished The HC was deafening and we were allowed a further 30 minutes of carols ! When the Choir goes on Holiday (A Retreat) we often give inpromptu Concerts in the Open Air !
Thanks for the POEM most Men have *IRONINGPHOBIA* Brian can wash & iron clothes etc ~ skills he learned @ Uni but I often reduce the ubiquitous *Ironing Pile* when I visit. Brian is an immaculate dresser so all his clothes are neatly stored in His Flat !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘

Alan .S. Jeeves said:

Listening to music helps when ironing, as I\'m sure you know Andy, but when you pause to listen to a particularly sweet passage don\'t forget to lift the iron off your shirt.
