You succeeded.
Nothing much more to add, Andy - they\'ve mostly said it all. I only know that the harmony I feel from that will be with me next time I go for such stroll.
If in slightly warmer temperatures.
Peace, Dave

\"The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky, are also on the faces of people passing by\".

It\'s all there for eyes which will see.

Once again you let us into the intimate relationship you have with our wonderful world here.

ANGELA HERE ~ Bon Apres Midi Oncle Andy ~ Love Arnalds ~ it is as you say so so relaxing. Even though shop bought is excellent we all have a go @ at Pasta Making ~ it gets one more points on *Come dine with ME* ! Lassagna is easy but Taggiatelle is a BEAST ! Brian is a better cook than I am so I leave him too it most days !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love A & B & Smokey Cat ! ! !

for a fellow foody like me, this here be true metaphorical lament of day-to-day messy reality - we conquer with ease, with our ever-flippant will...
nothing more rewarding than home made pasta, that\'s as light - as it is satisfying chewy, lol
a fun read Andy

L. B. Mek said:

\'My River had reached out to me
And said “Why are you ignoring me?”
So My River and I became one again.
Its beauty shone for me.
The smooth, clear green water
Giving me the clarity of thought.\'
\'\'Beauty is truth: truth beauty\'\' wrote Keats and your honest works are testament to the veracity of his words,
in the beauty of Joyce you so effortlessly imbue within each syllable of devoted dedication, you unveil the truth that burns immortal your cherished love,
a truly moving write Andy

Until i read the third line i thought you were going to tell us how to make an egg.

I thought that stuff grew on trees alongside the spaghetti trees in a pasta orchard.

I enjoyed the silyness of this, gave me a good laugh at all the mess u create.... just how far away is Lidl from you?.... they have it in nice neat un-messy bags you know.

I used to be everso messy with home baking.... the bread machine was a boon.... and i\'ve just started buying those part baked french sticks from tesco... great with soup.... from a can.

Good write Gold.
You go into some Staff Kitchens and it looks like someone has been throwing stuff around the room. Public areas may be immaculate, but staff areas can be horrendous. I mean the washing-up areas - nobody does it until we run out of cups or plates!

dusk arising said:

The current is steady but the flow is deep, strong and perpetual. A motion which will not cease until journeys end and ..... just as with a rainbows end.... treasure awaits.
Never allow the temptation which would taint the treasure with impatient haste.

ANGELA HERE - Good Sunday Uncle Andy - Thanks for an uplifting Video (love the clarinet) & Country Ode - It complemented the one we have just read from Uncle Steve. Intersted to note that Joyce was a clarinettist ! Loved the Poem !
It is mild Autumnal Day in Essex today so Brian & I will go a (slow) riverside walk to the Lake before Dinner - Brians home made Lamb Lassagne Pleased you feel Joyces presence with You on your walks. Memories are made of this ~ AMEN. We take SMOKEY with us on a long flexible lead - He likes to explore ! Walking a CAT is very different from walking a DOG !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela Brian & Smokey ! ! !

Yes, we may hurry on, and not \'see\' the River. I\'m not walking every day now. It\'s not \'walking season\' really now.
You will surely walk together for eternity along the River of Life. :)

if we dont make the most of them, they are gone .. maybe not wasted, but almost certainly not enjoyed as much as they might otherwise have been ...
yes my friend a universal truth told totally truly ..

An awesome and good write Andy.

We should live in the moment and take one day at a time.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during lockdown.

dusk arising said:

Some people call what you have described and \'mindfulness\'. As if mindfulness is something new and marvellous. Hmmm... what have we been missing..... in truth nothing... we were always mindful of life around us and how we fit into the scheme of things.... well, that\'s you and me anyhow LOL

RDS said:

Is it just me or can everyone over 50 look back to much waiting, hesitancy and formality that inhibit the spirit of expression, limiting the highs and lows we experience. Thanks Goldfinch, for a gentle reminder to go for it now!
I really like this:
Stop waiting for it and make the most,

Make the most of the moment that you are in...
I try and avoid repetition but your use here reinforces the meaning. Neat, thanks for sharing.

Yes there is only this moment and the advice your write gives is essential for peace of mind - live for the Now is the best way to live - thank you for sharing it dear friend.

Doggerel Dave said:

Advice that can\'t be bettered there Andy.
I hope there is, but maybe there isn\'t, a future.
So...you said it.
Take care Dave
PS: more great music I\'ve been introduced to...

Good write Gold.
I\'m gonna spend this moment in time, telling off people who keep saying \'This moment in time!\' See, they\'ve got me at it now. lol.
I mean, yes, say it sometimes, but basically no need for people to go mad with it! lol. There\'s another thing: \'Well, basically I.....\'

How Far.
Clara said:

Such a wonderful perspective... Sometimes it\'s like I live in the past while fearing for the future. The journey is sometimes too rough for this weary soul of mine lol. Great poem though and a solid reminder that life is too short!

Michael Edwards said:

I rarely look back - too busy filling each day and planning for the future but when I do try I realise how far I\'ve come. And it\'s quite sobering.
