Departed Manners.
orchidee said:

Yes - and let\'s not hold a door open for some people. We may feel like slamming it in their face, if we get no \'thank you\', but a weird look. But then that\'s two of us being impolite - us and them.
Should we be tempted to try a selfish day, e.g. just barging ahead, and \'[our] beauty before age\' and always go first?\'
And do your Store Assistants just grunt, or do better than that?

Is it the way they were brought up (dragged?). Where did the parents get this from.
I remember having those three words drilled into me as a post brat stage child. Now they lubricate my interactions day to day.

Somewhere woven in your words today is the true meaning of unconditional love rather than the oft experienced possessive type romantic love.

A place we all are looking for, either physically or emotionally, you say it, so clearly. Good writing, you can feel the hope in your heart.

This was not only so cleverly written, each line flowed directly through the next. But it was also very inspiring

Thank you

No other has that fluffy mellow haunting trumpet sound of Chet. And his singing voice in his late years was to marvel at for the expression he was able to carry.
Not a reader of the dots yet in his early playing years he was able to play in many bands of the day without fault.

Chet a truly amazing musician by anyones standard.

It is a special day - we had a new fireplce fitted earlier in the week and I came into the living room and thought this looks so welcoming - but every day is a special day.

A fine write Gold. Did you ever awake to the Dawn Chorus of me singing, and go back to bed?! heehee.

Stunning Art.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Each Member of MPS has their part (however small) to play on MPS to make the Daily Whole exponentially better than the sum of the parts ! Where would it be without MIKES Paintings - FAYS incredible Poetry - STEVES Spiritual input - JOKER 44s Qirkiness and YOUR eclectic choice of Music to satisfy our souls. This is why (despite limited Time) BRIAN & I try to visit & comment every day. To us it is the best Poetry Site (on line) ever !
Thanks for the VIDEO ! This is an elegant piece but I find LISZT much more difficult than CHOPIN. Lang Lang is one of my fave pianists. He makes it look easy and sound sublime. Love the Picture & the Poem. Uncle MIKE with His perfect Paintings & quirky Poems light up MPS every day for us - He is a GEM !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

dusk arising said:

The island is there because you believe in it, i guess it;s a part of your faith.
I\'m smiling thinking about one of your previous pieces about a drug. Well i think the drug we\'re high on is working for both of us.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning !Thanks UNCLE ANDY I found your video (Rachmaminov 2) and your poem very uplifting as I face another day of Ministering to People with broken dreams & limited mobility. Many of my clients tell me *You have the hands of an Angel* which is very true ! My Parents christened me ANGELA (Spanish for Angel) that I might be used of GOD in the World ~ AMEN. Back to the Poem. In all our minds there is *A Beautiful Isle of Somewhere* where Peace reigns and we will all be reunited with our Loved ones again ! However we will only be there when we pass from the PHYSICAL to the SPIRIT(UAL) dimension. I follow the accepted Catholic (Biblical) Doctrine in this matter - OK.

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela & Brian ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›
