Medicine of Laughter
orchidee said:

Good write Gold. Not being a grump, but it said on telly: \'New comedy coming\', then showed hideously unfunny trailers. I ranted at the telly and replied \'Where? Laugh? I never even started!\'. Some good comedy shows in 1970\'s/80\'s though.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ Good afternoon UNCLE ANDY ~ just finished teaching and Im in a weekend mood ! Thanks for the VIDEO ~ any song from LES MISS is a hit with us ! Awesome BOOK ~ FILM and best as a STAGE MUSICAL where one can really feel the passion GREAT SONGS !
What is it about CROQUET ? I can easily see how it is both cathartic & addictive ! We always play once a month on a Saturday (when its fine !) after the Mens Breakfast (another form of COMMUNION !). It seems to me that it is one of those games like Chess ~ Solo Whist ~ Dominoes & Carpet Bowls etc which are AGE NEUTRAL and the Nonagenarians can play as good (if not better ?) that the Twentysomethings and Ladies can compete equally with Men ~ AMEN. Such games are very very addictive. We are so so pleased you are begining to find some Peace & Contentment in your life ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA

dusk arising said:

It reads to me as if the stress of the recent years is finally lifted and this together with your assured knowledge that you are genuinely at ease with your commitment to honour the past has brought you peace.
I am envious. Now go swing that mallet.

Sometimes I feel the same, if not going to some churches where there are \'entanglements\' of rules and regulations, etc. (Well, don\'t go to those sort of churches then, Orchi!).
Meanwhile - folk feel absolute panic. but why. Cos I say \'I\'m gonna sing!\' heehee.

Poetic Dan said:

My friend you deserve this more than I could ever write, over the years you shared the outstanding passion to take for your wife.

I\'m grateful to your strength and energy to move on, I hope one day I\'ll sit back and know the feelings of your words!

Always appreciated
No matter the weather!

dusk arising said:

What can i say? You know i wholeheartedly agree with your point of view.
The sermon you recount here points to the patronising and narrow minded oratory which so often comes from the long established religions. Similar can be seen in the poetry of certain individuals on MPS who appear to have deemed it their privilege to tell all how we should be living and worshiping.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Morning Uncle ANDY ! First let me thank you for showcasing PATSY KLINE ~ in my opinion *The best Female Country Voice ever* and CRAZY the best female Country Song ~ sadly killed in a Plane Crash in 1963 ~ just 30 and at the zenith of her career. When I give talks (to Seniors) on *Country Ladies* CRAZY always makes me cry ~ she is just BEAUTIFUL ~ RIP.
As to the POEM ~ You know Angela & I are committed Christians and we have had to accept the when we pray for loved ones ~ sometimes GOD says NO and receives them into the Spiriual Dimension. However we havn*t had to walk in your shoes facing the Dementia & finally the Demise of your Beloved Joyce. We sympathise and you will always be on our Prayer List until you are reunited with your Beloved in the Spirit World ~ AMEN

Blessing & Peace to You & Yours
Yours Angela & Brian ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›
Please check *BREXIT* Thanks A & B

orchidee said:

I see what you mean Gold. I may do the same if I was in your situation.
We may think some hymns seem potty, such as:
\'Make me a captive Lord
And then I shall be free\'
and it continues along those lines.
Yet it\'s only restrictions to self, I feel - the \'bad\' parts of us. Not that we have to be all miserable and caught up in \'religious rules\'.
A light still shines for you I believe. Otherwise you would abandon church and other Christians, and indeed Christ, altogether. :)

You made the wise choice by playing your croquet and watching other games later my friend.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here - Just off to Work - first Clinic 10am ! Thanks for sharing - Love SQ they have vitalised me for the Morning ! DOWN DOWN DEEPER & DOWN ~ AGAIN ~ AGAIN ~ DEEPER & DOWN is a good lyric to masage to ! I might ask ALEXA to play it while I have my First Client (A Rugby Player !) on the Table (visulise it !).
Your poem does hilite a 21st C dilemma which our GParents never had - How to be in two places @ once ! In your mind CROQUET (a sign of Old Age ?) & RUGBY are both sacred ! However your dilemma is solved by the Space Time continuum ! Einstein tells me that *It vould be impossible to be videoing ze Croquet (in real time) while simultaneously vatching ze Rugby* So you have no option ! Speil ze Croquet und vatch ze Rugby auf TV - OK.
However ACHTUNG ! Ich habe deiner MOBILENOMMER ! If you dont add a comment to *FIVE SENSES* Ich vill du gefone immediatzung after ZE MATCH ~ OK !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

The future is beautiful too and your river will always be there to spur you on. All around is beauty and soon the spring will be here. New opportunities to do new things lay ahead.

My River of Joy.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. I read part of a book. A character in it looked into a river. Looking ever deeper, he somehow saw at the bottom of the river-bed the primeval river that was in the Garden of Eden. Though book was a bit spooky. I did not read it all.

FineB said:

A great write Goldfinch60.

Beauty as seen by the singer Julia Fordham is about being yourself.

We are all unique divine masterpieces created by the Lord God Almighty all special in our own way.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ! Thanks for sharing Uncle Andy ~ Loved *The World is Waiting for the Sunrise* by George Lewis. I have played Acoustic Steel Guitar in a trad Jazz Band ~ loved the Guitar Solos but could never match DJANGO ! I agree with the sentiments in your Poem ! We are all born different (WEIRD ?) and the Good Book says *Dont let this World press you into its Mold !* Some people consider ALL POETS are WEIRD ~ AMEN

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™
We are having a bit of a drive on FUSIONS. There was

Latest one is MAJOR HISTORICAL SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS
Please add a POEM ~ Please ~ Thanks A & B ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

Jeremy Leach said:

My philosophy exactly ! Nicely put and written. It\'s very easy to feel you have to mold to others wishes but I don\'t think it ever helps in the long run.

Great number set me tapping my feet Andy as I read your urging for folk to stay ourselves - yup - - count me in with the weirdos too.
