Hi GF
Yup, I’ve had those same revelations about myself. Seems as we age (68) we are better able at seeing our flaws. Can’t go back but hopefully such introspection will help us do better moving forward.
Great write.

Being self employed soon knocks that out of your system but it doesn\'t help when it has become established in your partners lifestyle.
Disappointments ensue.

I saw a comedy show with a posh wife. She said \'Oh, I suppose SOME people have to work weekends!\' She was too posh to do so.

What do you think? I feel that church needs maybe a Minster more of the congregation\'s age. Or at least, not so hellfire. Not that are wrapped in cotton wool, but supportive. One more passed away recently - it can\'t be helped. They often sing Happy (90th) birthday to one or the other there.

Yet it\'s included in a \'Formal Prayer\': \'Forgive us - we have done those things we ought not to have done; and have left undone those things we ought to have done\'.
But not all the time - I feel an elderly congregation gets brow-beaten by the Minister. They have hell-fire and damnation type sermons every week - \'Repent, you miserable sinners!\' \'Erm, we already have\' is the reply.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
BRIAN HERE ~ EVENING UNCLE ANDY ~ Love the Pathos in the Music - it matches the satire in your very sumtuous Poem. We all have experiences with the Good & the Great ~ Staying in Stately Homes and dining @ the Top Table @ Oxbridge Colleges & The Captains Table on Cruises ! In this life its often not what one knows but whom. As far as Angela & I are concerned we are very content with our home & (safe) job opportunitues and our families & Friends and our Church & our 24/7 relationship with God ! I guess we would be considered successful Middle Class ! When we do rub shoulders with the Landed Gentry & Rich & Famous we do know how to conduct ourselves and enjoy the opportunity. On balance we are very content to be *The People we are* with *The Families & Frends we have* and *Place we live in* and the *Jobs & Socisl Life* we enjoy ! Spiritually we feel as Evangelical Christians that *We are in touch with God*. We are in Jobs which are an asset to the Community and are content with our Salaries which gives us some excess to share with those less fortunate than ourselves. Thanks for your Poem ~ it made us think about our own station in LIFE ~ AMEN
Blessings & peace to You & Yours
Love ~ Brin & Angela & Smokey !

Not a Bad House.
dusk arising said:
For about 18 months i had an apartment on the first floor of the stately home Whitborne Hall. My living room looked out beneath the portico upon a view specifically landscaped for the occupant. Believe it or not i was actually on income support and housing benefit at the time. The only time in my life which i claimed benefits having gone bust under john majors extreme boob when the ERM collapsed and interest rates went thru the roof leaving people like me in the home improvements market without any work.
The house was of course immense and to wonder along its empty passageways and cellerage was a ghostly experience. But ib good weather i had many visitors to enjoy the high life with me.
Yep, brought back memories of the early 90\'s reading your words today.

Accidental Poet said:
Yes Michael\'s art work is masterful and we are blessed to have him here among us. And I too tend to see things within the picture. For one at first I thought it a foot, then I looked at it again here and I see it\'s a hand in a glove. Wonderful visual art to go with wonderful poetry from both of you. ; ) AP

Reflecting upon this, together with the comments so far and the picture reproduced here I am having to admit to myself that i have been guilty of taking Michael\'s work for granted.
I do so agree he is a fine, undoubtedly very talented, master of the visual art in many genres as we have all seen.
I guess i am making an excuse for my taking for granted when i tell you that i am always in \"the written word\" mode when i see these pics so rarely take time to appreciate their fineness.
I feel guilty now lol.
A fine tribute from you Goldfinch revealing how \'trippy\' your meditations upon this artwork become.

Oh lol, on a quiz prog it said \'After the war certain musical works were experimental; some not very good and rather trashy\'. It was a question on your favourite love-to-hate musician, Stockhausen!
