Hmm, not sure I would agree here with all of this Gold. Yes, loving God and loving one another, as He said.

The First Hippie.
kevin browne said:

Ah, the unorhadox point of view against \'The First Hippie\'. Jesus would have been very proud smoking a joint on a daily basis from birth to his death. Hung upon his cross singing \'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life\'. to believe or not to believe now that is the question. Your message is very clear in your well described poem...

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY - ANGELA here ~ great 1920\'s sound to wake up to. Sounds like the PASADINA ROOF ORCHESTRA one of oue fave BANDS ! Love the Church Hall pre WW2 style dancing ! We used to have 1920s (all dressed up) era Dances in the Catholic Church Hall when I was a TEEN ! Catholics know how to enjoy themselves - Evangelicals are sometimes a little too Puritan for Girl with 50 % Spanish Blood ! Love the Poem it fits in with ours about Autumn morphing eratically into Winter ! Ive seen Brians Dad (very proud of His Garden) mowing His Lawn on Christmas Day after LUNCH ! Mad Dogs & Englishmen etc ! Brians a bit eccentric - thats why I love HIM ! Please check our Collaboration Poem on H A L L O W E E N # THANKS !

BLESSINGS & PEACE to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘

The numbers that wears such masks is increasing expotentially, as the technology is isolating us even more.
It\'s just easier to wear the mask....

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Evening UNCLE ANDY ~ The Subjects of DESTINY & ADVERSITY are apposite for us today (However we love Verdi & Acrostics ~ so both were Silver Linings !) We are busy with planning a Wedding (which could now talke place in La Catederal de Sevilla !) and Angela has today interviewed her SIX Trainee Physios (4 F & 2 M) who she will be instructing & assessing for the next 12 months in *Hands on PHYSIO !* They have done a YearsTheory & *Clinical Observation*. She obtained her Training Diploma in NZ and will start work next week on a Higher Grade. She is very academic & ambitious so starting a Family (2022 ?) will be a big decision ! I am in the final Year with my Path Lab Technicians who will have very responsible Jobs when they qualify. All in Merits & Distintions so far ~ AMEN. Loved the Video & the very balanced ACROSTIC ~ Thanks for sharing !

Blessings to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

Hello Goldfinch60,

A most excellent write.

Adversity we all encounter it. It is how we deal with it that marks out our true strength as a human being and character.

orchidee said:

a fine write Gold. We may reply that we\'re Ok, when we\'re not. There can be various reasons - we don\'t know the person well enough; we have not got time to give them all the details; would they stop and chat if we said we\'re not OK?; etc.

Very relaxing peaceful music.

I can picture you and the scenes you describe here all too well. It\'s in your positive nature. Giving, sharing, encouraging... who got the most pleasure from this act ....
the answer is so obvious saintly sir!

Pleasure to read this easy flowing piece.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Uncle Andy a very altruistic & moving account ! Brian & I love the Republic of Ireland and the Irish Music & Dancing ! The PENNY WHISTLE is very haunting - thanks for video ! I feel very much @ Home in the Republic - their MANANA (Tomorra* In the Mornin*) attitude reminds me of Spain. We love the BARS theres always singin* with an impromptu group of FIDDLE - IRISH DRUM - FLUTE - CONCERTINA - JOANNA etc ! If BRIAN has his GUITAR he*ll sit in (coming from Liverpool he knows all the Irish songs) and & I*ll dance for them - sing & tinkle the ivories. They love it when *Strangers* come in the BAR & throw their hat in the RING !
Back to the SUBJECT ! Love what you did for the Penny Whistle Player - I guess you restored His Dignity. Brian & I support any of the *Street People* if they are acctually doing something ! Singing - Playing - Dancing - Selling the Big Issue etc. If they just sit there begging we are less inclined to help them (unless they have DOG !) OK It is interesting that in both MEXICO & CUBA we didn\'t see anybody JUST BEGGING they were all PERFORMING as only Mexicans & Cubans (both HISPANICS) can ! In CUBA we didnt see anybody sleeping ROUGH either and no heavy POLICE PRESENCE as in London & New York ~ AMEN !

Bkesings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘

Fay Slimm. said:

This read filled my soul with both sadness and joy - to know there are still people like your self dear Andy - willing to help or even befriend those who often through no fault of their own become homeless brings hope to this heart that conditions may change for folk like the whistle player. Thank you for sharing your kind contact with us here on M.P.S.
