I am lost to the World
With which I used to spend much time
It has for so long known nothing of me
It may well believe that I am dead !
Nor am I at all concerned
If it should think that I am dead
Nor can I deny it !
For truly I am dead to the World
I am dead to the Worlds tumult
And rest in a quiet realm !
I live alone in my Heaven
In my LOVE ~ in my SONG !
Thanks for sharing Uncle Andy ~ Lovely melancholy voice for a melancholy song. I posted a translation because that is in effect the POEM also . It made me so so sad because it is the destiny of many Seniors I know whose roots have perished with the 20th Century ! They have found a quiet realm in a Retirement Home ! Her own departure ~ as outlined in your elegant Poem ~ is reflected in the SONG ~ OK
Blessing & Peace & Love to YOU and JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I will admit I had to turn my headphones down a bit but once comfortable, what a soothing experience thank you!
I also had a thought of what amazing inner strength it must take to hold a note so crisp and clean or was that just the voice of her soul...

Another gem of tribute to the art of singing and the gift of a wonderful voice. We will always have Janet\'s recordings to hear and delight in over and over again.

Hello Andy - I\'m a non believer myself and live in horror over what religion has done to the world but have my other fantasies - actually on the day, Jay will be coming back for me in his truck and off we will go to the horses and the beautiful wide sky ........... whatever floats their boats as long as they don\'t knock on my door - then I\'m afraid they have to deal with the consequences of their actions....... be afraid, be very afraid. Oh and God is Nature isn\'t she?

The problem with being a non-believer is that I\'ll get the chance to say: \'I told you so !!\' 😉
A great write nonetheless Andy.

I feel - or more strongly - I believe, you\'re on the right path still. I suppose my reply to the second stanza is \'Ohh, I dunno about that\'.
Not to be judgemental, otherwise we could blame the churches, as in: \'You church lot should have got out more and evangelised the unbelievers!\'
I\'m upset at times with a church that \'preaches to the converted\'. The converted need preaching too, but they often get a hefty warning message in Newsletter Editorial page from the minister!

Never mind bullshit phrases from the man made bible some people are limited by..... If theres that christian god then his teaching (omg man made again) is of forgiveness so why bother with worship or even acknowledging.
So many whacking great loopholes in christian teachings. No wonder they rely on blind faith cos it sure doesn\'t stand up to intelligent questioning or questioning.

I love your rain reflection and thank you so much for the best scene from Butch Cassidy....... I just love that movie and that scene in particular...... somewhere he says (jokingly) \"Your cold white flesh is mine all mine\" and it cracked me up. Stupid remark of the day: \"Why can\'t they make movies like that any more?\"

Chet\'s mournful sound on trumpet is quite unique and compelling just as you say.
As you know he was always a great singer too and I am a fan of his voice in his final years. Whereas you can tell he is of age, a lifetimes passion and pain sings out in his tone and breath.
One of twentieth centuries most amazing musicians. His hey day the 50\'s is the era of jazz i most revere.

Quote \"and i think to myself, what a wonderful world\".
Showing us here Goldfinch, amongst all your trials and troubles of today, the wonder of human nature in this wonderful world.
The positive mind acknowledges the world as it is yet finds beauty, for yes, we are beautiful creatures in a beautiful world.

I have many a times watched rain drops glide down a window pane. A single drop, gliding down and then suddenly changes course and merges with a track left by another.
Have you ever felt a rain drops that actually felt warm - I have, the first monsoon showers, when it is still blistering hot.
AH! Well, memories
