Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Lovely Music and a Beautiful Poem. If Im not listening to a CD in the car (in the UK) I have Classical FM on very soothing but also captivating and sometimes I want to pull into a layby to enjoy. In NZ we use CDs in the Car but there is Classical & Country & Maori etc on the Radio. Its 9:30 am Saturday here so a free day ! Ruth and I are going into Town for lunch ! Thanks for sharing : Love to Yourself & Joyce 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Brilliantly captured of what music can do, I have theses moments so often. To be honest after every song I\'m lost in poetry, if I wrote all my thoughts down in have time for nothing else.
Thanks for sharing

It happens to me especially when I\'m painting - music is the WD40 of life.

And fine words they are too Gold.
Two questions:
* Were you at the Agincourt 1415 reunion yesterday?
* Does my singing make you stop - in horror?! heehee.

dusk arising said:

Such a sad way for a good spirited man to find himself questioning everything.
Your anguish comes through. I suspect that there is anger subdued here too. If you feel the need to shout, then shout! Yell, cry out WHY?..... Life is beautiful, but life is cruel.

No answers, but i feel for you.

Ahhhhh UNCLE ANDY ~ KF still the Prima Donna ~ always my DADS favorite ! He has 33\'s and a windup gramaphone with a Horn and Thorn Needles ! Being a Newspaper Man he is a bit eccentric and always wears a Bowler Hat on a Sunday etc !
Your POEM is very poignant and we can empathise ~ but only from a distance. Several of my Friends and extended Family have succumbed to ALZHEIMER\'S and have died internally. Yesterday I attended a Reunion and my Friend RUTH brought her HUSBAND BOB (50) a High Ranking Electrical Engineer and a Fitness Fanatic. He shambled in unkempt grinning and laughing and unable to hold a conversation ~ tragic. Ruth who still teaches two days a week confided in me how difficult it is ~ and at times she feels like giving up. You are a great example and we all admire what you do 24/7 for JOYCE ~ AMEN ! Blessings & Love to JOYCE & YOURSELF ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

A heart wrenching read - I am still enjoying KF in the car where it is played constantly (only when I am in it obviously).

I may understand this, though not having experienced it. Any signs of relief? Any glimmers of light? Healing somehow, if gradually? Thinking of you both, and in prayers.

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian & I love visiting Art Galleries and originals of OLD MASTERS always move us emotionally. The same is true of classical music. We are all fortunate to live in the 21st C when so much Art & Music is available to enjoy. Especially if we have the facility to travel as well. I love OXFORD & CAMBRIDGE : There is always so so much to see ! Please check SUNRISE : SUNSET you will enjoy it. BLESSINGS & LOVE : To Yourself & Joyce :: ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Some pass by,
aware of the building,
some love the frames,
the exquisite gilding.
but different for Goldfinch,
as each year he grows older,
for the beauty is within,
the eye of the beholder.

A long time since I graced the hallowed Ashmolean - a superb collection. Actually I attended Ashmole School in Southgate and did a course of studies at Pembroke College - brings back memories.

Hey G. I enjoyed the last couple lines. I\'m all for relaxation.

dusk arising said:

The older we get, the more we come to know ourselves, accept our unachieved aspirations, resolve our ambitions. We relax.
This is you at your best.

Goldfinch60 said:

I have a great deal of Jacques Loussier, unsurprisingly, and have listen to him for many, many years.
Music is often the key to relaxation, but I was happy in my work life of firtyseven years and one month, so I didn’t get too stressed there. I did get somewhat concerned bavk in 2007 when I was told if you don’t have the operation you will die.

You did it again, who else has this knack of pulling out something from nothing.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY we both love the Jack Lousier Trio ~ PLAY BACH ~ always very cool & relaxing ! We like the CHINESE PROVERB ! WE are qualified to do our jobs and both very satisfied doing them ~ so (in the main) we are RELAXED @ Work & Play. If promotion comes ~ it comes ~ but being Christians we have lots of inner satisfaction and inner Peace with God & Humanity. Godliness with contentment is great gain. Thanks for sharing & caring ~ Blessings & love to You & Joyce ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 😎 🧡🧡

Thanks for sharing this thought. It makes me think about the few times I feel relaxed and in touch with who I really am.

I always feel anxious around people.

I am so lucky that generally I am able to \'switch off\' but there times when I get anxious - more so as I get older. Fine writs Andy.
