Thanks UNCLE ANDY : ANGELA HERE : As you know I am a Pianist and this recording has inspired me to practice more : there is a Keyboard in the Apartment Ruth & I are sharing. Lovely Pianist : Lovely touch : Lovely composition ! Its just gone 8am (Thursday) here and I am picking Mama & Papa up at 10 am : we have a Vineyard visit planned : with Lunch @ Noon ! They are really enjoying AUCKLAND ! Weather today Sunny 15C (60F). Not bad considering its the start of Winter. PAPA wanted to be here when the grapes were being processd into WINE !
Love your POEM : The KIWIS & the MAORIS are very very Conservation Conscious and the whole Country is Nuclear Free ! There are hundreds of Wind Turbines which the Maoris hate ! There is lots of awesome Scenary here and each person has 15 times more space than in the UK : HEAVEN : I say to myself (and anyone else who will listen !) *What a Wonderful World* Thanks for sharing !

Blessings & Peace & Love to You & JOYCE
Yours as ALWAYS : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Nature\'s Canvas.
Suresh said:

In my book \"Forces of Creation - Scriptures,\" the very first definition is for Space - an eternal void, total vacuum, a reflective canvas.
A canvas is a surface that reflects what is created and how it is perceived, which your poem has painted in color.

Beautiful isn\'t it. How many years we took it all for granted though.

And now theres another wind blowing because we realise we must now protect it for our childrens childrens children. They will see this world with their eyes and hopefully share our love of it and value it. But we must pass it on to them in good condition.

Your words are inspiring and gratitude shines through every line of this ode to the gift Nature offers to those who just sit and look. Thank you dear Andy for this lovely first read of my day.

Back in the Sixties.
Suresh said:

History is already recording that latter of sixties was a momentous shift in attitudes , when the then generation took over the reigns from antiquated beliefs, and laid the foundation for all generations to follow -

Yes it is romantic to think of our life in the sixties.

Thans again for sharing *The Blessed HOPE* AMEN !

Lorna said:

Andy as you know I\'ve been through this and the unthinkable starts to become the norm. Every time I leave the care facility I am down and it takes a day to recover but when I arrive there he is actually fine and surrounded by people who are always on the alert and taking care of him and he is slightly aware and does not seem at all distressed which is a blessing. What hurts is that he was \"mine\" and now I am \"the visitor\" and so the letting go has to be on my part. This is the hardest thing I have ever lived through and a very lonely experience - I feel for you.

Excellent expression..... Why can\'t more of us be so enlightened?
It\'s easy once you accept it, and everything becomes \'right\' and beauty is in everything.

Eugene ammons uses lots of echo effect on all his recordings i\'ve noticed and some rather mundane sidemen in his 50\'s recordings, but some outstanding period pieces and great feel for blues and balads.

Magnificent my friend, at those time I didn\'t know but as I look back now and see differently. It was always there and now nurtured to become more aware that it will forever remain.

I am lost for words that could help but I send all my strength to this heartfelt out pour.

You an amazing being I admire with all my pride to love and continue this life. I\'ve been unsure to post one I wrote while with my grandmother the other weekend but with your spirit in mind I shall let go of that pain as you have.

Thank you again for being so perfectly you.

Your inspiring personality will find a way through when you can cope no longer dear friend and to read that you might go back to music with playing clarinet and trumpet shows that you will quietly adapt..... life still feels worthwhile when we can look back on happy memories dear Goldy.

From all that I have read so far, your love and care for her surpasses most. As such, you have built a treasure trove of memories to forever accompany you.
These moments apart, to strengthen your resolve and you have many a friend on MPS.

I know that I have said it before, but I genuinely hope you can relax a little and make the most of this brief respite... one which you so obviously need , even though it is just as obvious you resent the need and will miss your dear wife throughout... sadder than sad and I shall be thinking of you...
