\'When I said farewell,
Farewell to Stromness.\'
and stepped
into that cooling solace
within acceptance,
a great write Andy!

Changing the Ending.
L. B. Mek said:

a wonderful combination between the video and your words to reinforce a very straightforward but vital message, reminds me (if a little dramatically) of Dylan Thomas and his:
\'Do no go gentle into that good night\'
\'rage, rage against the dying of the light\',
while Dylan was speaking to his ailing father and our general willingness to accept the escape offered by death,
I think his words can be interpreted in line with your message: where even if we hold-on and merely find out we can impact our fates - at the very end,
maybe it\'s worth investing in a little hope and sprouting what feeble \'fighting spirit\' we can muster and try to give a good accounting of ourselves in this brief breaths of a life, we inevitable tend to take for granted...
a thought provoking write Andy, thank you for inspiring my little reply scribble

Could have, should have, would have... we all go through that. But you are right Andy, while we cannot change the past, we can shape the future. Well penned!

Very good read Andy. Can\'t play the tune right now as it would wake up Linda and that would not be a happy ending for me. ;-)

Great advice as always Goldfinch

Can build to a crescendo

dusk arising said:

Somehow i can\'t imagine Goldfinch enjoying having his radio tuned to a commercial radio station. Tell me if I am wrong but somehow I don\'t see you tolerating adverts and not very talented presenters.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle Andy thanks for Showcasing SPIEGEL IM SPIEGEL (Mirrors in Mirrors) Otto Part 1978 - F major ! It is very soothing & repetitive as the title suggests. It is eay to play - on solo piano - but difficult to attain (& maintain) the right level of delicacy. Just on my lunch break. Enjoying a Blue Cheese Sandwhich and a flask of Tomato and Corriander Soup listening to S I S !
I agree with you about the RADIO ! I have my radios tuned to Radio 3 or Classic FM ~ Brian likes the same - Thank GOD for the BBC ! Please check our Poem *12 MONTHS of COVID 19* - Thanks - A & B !

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

One does so need the wireless doesn\'t one - like you I\'m lost without something playing whether I\'m actually listening or it\'s simply playing in the background.
