Facing Fear.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
ANGELA HERE (10:30 pm) Good morning Uncle Andy. Love the VIDEO & The POEM. FEAR is natures warning to slow down or even STOP ! BRIAN has no fear when he sits on top of a waterfall (see Poem) and slides down. He has faith that the water in the pool will be deep enough ! The first time is the most scary ! I had a fear of coming to NZ and now I dont want to go HOME ! Brian and I have no fear of getting married because separation has proved our love and we are old enough (31 & 35) to endure whatever LIFE & LOVE may bring ! We see the next TEN YEARS (up to 2030) devoted to our Families and raising our own FAMILY and then who knows ! ?
BLESSINGS & PEACE to YOU & JOYCE
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN š§”šš§”šš§”

Oops, I missed this! A fine write again Gold. I don\'t like being too near the edge of rivers, if there are no safety barriers or greenery as \'barriers\'.

A true write Gold. Erm, is this based partly on the fear of hearing me sing?!
And why was I not afraid to speak the immortal words in 1066? - you know the ones.......!heehee.

The mystic feel of water your write here reminds me that I too walk by a stream just to deepen the connection with spirit -- may you always find the comfort of river-walking my friend.

I was pleased to read your comments yesterday about your joy of more musical involvement. Unquestionably music has a magic which feeds your soul. And now this, your river.
Without the wants and needs of a younger man and mindful of the serious \'gone\' in your life you seem to be doing a remarkably good job of living. Full marks to you.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ You have really touched our Hearts & Minds with this one. Love the VIDEO ! Angela & I can really relate to this one as we are still growing up ! First MARRIAGE & First HOUSE next Year and then (DV) first BABY all sounds like a DREAM ! Singing is so so important. Angela & I both love singing SOLOS ~ DUETS ~ ENSEMBLES and in the CHURCH CHOIR. We do sing in Spanish ~ and other languages in TAIZE ! Last night on *Last Night of the Proms* there was an ORITORIO in a very strange language ~ but for me (BRIAN) it added PATHOS to the PIECE. My COUSIN who was a Choral Scholar sings in about 20 different Languages and contends that the words (whether one understands them or not) are an integral (and important) facet of the VOICE as an INSTRUMENT. G & S is quintisentially ENGLISH and does not translate well ~ to each their own Language. Welsh really is the language of Heaven ~ AMEN
Thanks for caring & sharing
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN š§”š§”š§”š§”š§”

I\'m with you on this Andy the act of singing can be joyful in itself regardless of the outcome

Great write

A fine write Gold. I try to match the words of my hymn-poems with appropriate tunes, e.g. not \'O praise ye the Lord\' with words of Herod\'s massacre of the little children.
Some may look grumpy singing, but they are focusing and concentrating I think, on the words and the tune.

Michael Edwards said:
I struggle with this. I agree that the voice is an instrument but it does articulate words and (religion apart) if the words are silly or nonsense then my practical and logical brain has a problem. If the words are light hearted as in G&S for example then it\'s okay but when they are presented in all seriousness then I\'m afraid I find the music hard to accept. Just me I guess. Great write nonetheless.

Never Lonely - Senryu.
Lauraš» said:
Andy,
Your love for one another will never die! It will be forever and ever! It is for the best for both of you! Taking care of someone 24/7 is extremely demanding! I see it with my Aunt. Each day she becomes more dependent on me. She demands to stay in her home and be taken care of by a family member! Iām trying my best to fulfill her wish!
Now youāll have a chance to take good care of yourself mentally and physically! Each time you visit Joyce it will be like going on a date!
I will keep her in my prayers each and every day...and Iāll envision you with your music, smiling and writing your poetry!
My love to Joyce and to you!

Hi Goldfinch.
A superb poem and thank you.
The simple pleasures of life are so enjoyable.
