\'But to see people properly
We need to look into their eyes,
As \'only\' in their eyes \'do we\' see them,
See them for what they are,
What they really are.
As on the outside they are so different,
So different to the real person they are.\'
how laudable Andy:
you\'ve just distilled three millennia worth of \'humane ideal\'s\' within six, deceptively accessible lines...
Bravo!
(forgive my little \'inputs\', I meant no disrespect my friend)

Hi Andy,
A brilliant write.
Beauty is about being yourself as Julia Fordham the singer pointed out.
Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

Yes I totally agree. It was pointed out to me long ago that our eyesight is our prime sense. Once accept that then anything visual takes pride of place among our senses or sense. Depending upon your upbringing or guidance as a child you will make instant decisions and values about the images you see. In maturity it will probably be necessary to override these judgements, which are in fact prejudices, to revalue the image you are seeing. For example my mother made terrible judgements about tramps and passed them onto me on many occasions as a very small child. I have to look beyond that conditioning to see the real person. Early conditioning is so effective and destructive. That\'s why a lot of people live in fear of god, they were \'got at\' at a very young age LOL.
Well thats my two-penneth anyway.

A fine write Gold.
Yes, to see people. But if it\'s \'people\'-watching\' it ends in embarrassment: \'Who ya looking at?\' or a dirty look from them. Doh!
In some programme, made as comedy, a person was so hostile, one line was \'Hello? What do ya mean hello? You looking for a fight?\'

What an exciting version of La Mer - -never heard this one before - thanks for sharing it Andy and I agree with all your words say about where to look to see the real depth of a person - the eyes tell it all my friend.

I suppose there are musicians who fit the conductors description but its unwise to put them all in one bag.
As a musician I don\'t consider myself different from any other musician i have met who played, not to give love but, because it feels good to play your instrument or sing. Yes it does feel good if ab audience appreciates your playing and ever nicer when a musician appreciates it.

I wish 2020 would flow away with it\'s possessions especially this damn pandemic but I wonder why my hope is fading away, is it because of the worsening of the situation in my country that is taking us back some levels of strictness of the lock down, that starting this week there no church service again?
Help us Lord we don\'t want see such features anymore.
Good write Andy

\'Yes it has been a bad year
But we are still here,
And the New Year starts tomorrow
So go forward into it,\'
Indeed Andy,
just look at Sir Alan Sugar: earlier in the year he denounced COVID as some hypothetical propaganda campaign because \'no one near him had been effected\',
this week he announced he lost his sister to that same \'phantom plague\',
just goes to show: we shouldn\'t take our survival so lightly...
Happy New Year, stay safe

\'When I sat by her side
As her last breath flowed
And the Light of her world
Left her body,
Left my body.\'
heart wrenchingly relatable, I have read your words more than 3 times now, each time I paused for a few minutes before restarting...
I shall remember the Joyce you introduced to me with your kind words, as I toast all the good still remaining in our lives...
let your inked words soak-up all that pain you bare so bravely,
a wonderful dedication Andy and a brilliant read!
