Church Meeting.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks for caring & sharing ANDY ! That tune sure epitomises many Church Meetings I\'ve attended in the past ! By coincidence it is our AGM tomorrow ! I belong to a lively Evangelical Church so our AGM will not be dull ! Efficient yes but even a few laughs and nice Buffet to Follow. The only thing i have watch (because the atmosphere will be relaxed) is to not volunteer for too many Action Groups ~ Angela will ensure I don\'t ! Loved the REQUIEM & the Poem ~ they went well together ! Yours BRIAN
Please check my Collaboration Poem (with Maxine) and my new FUSION on MUSIC ~ thanks BRIAN

At first I was worried about you! I thought you were having a mini stroke..... then figured it out! If I were to start thinking about how I form the letters, everything else would leave my head.......

So funny....... Michael\'s \"endless waffle\" comment very funny too..... sound like corporate meetings - oh how people love to hear themselves talk!

Michael Edwards said:

Oh I know those meetings well - I especially hate AGMs especially when it comes to electing a new committee - the old ones (who love the limelight) feign reluctance to continue knowing full well that everyone else is shrinking in their seats hoping no one will point to them to join the committee. And the endless waffle - oh take me home.

Ahh, you had a good time then?! Well, it started off good then went downhill from then on? Some meetings - don\'t ya just hate them?! Some church business meetings are held midweek. I suppose they try to capture people on Sundays while they are there in person.

A great write with a great video. Calligraphy is something that I always looked at as an interesting way to write, but I\'ve never tried it. Thanks for sharing Andy.

We\'ve all been there... I like calligraphy too but it takes me a while and when I look it over and find I missed out a letter it is really frustrating.

The poem was uplifting, but that music is heavy. Heavier than a pound of gold to be certain.

Retribution.
ForeverJesus7 said:

I suppose it is because I am from America that I must disagree. I mean this respectfully. We try to avoid war as much as we can. No one ever wants to go to war, but when it is unavoidable, there is not much more that can be done. There is a time for war and a time for peace. Personally, I like peace, but it is not that easy to walk away sometimes.
Still, I liked your poem. That is how fights often escalate.
Persistence is key

Retribution.
Daveyboyz said:

When speakers are stopped from speaking and people are barred from entering the country because they hold the wrong views the next step is violence. When did we forget how to have open and honest debate? This crisis in N.Africa is by design... part of a larger plan (Kalergi) and a manifestation of the lack of scruples demonstrated by EU/Bilderburg IMO. Good poem though, this tendency of thought process is helpful to nobody.

Thank you Goldfinch60.

A great write.

Retribution sadly so many people are so intent on this where in some circumstances the best thing to do would be to walk away in peace.

Keep writing

So appropriate Andy - great write. And Harry - what a great all-round entertainer now sadly missed.

Very well done and yet so simply stated, \" what more do I need?\". May your love grow forever!

lasergraph said:

I don\'t know how I can feel joy and sadness all at the same time3, but you made that happen. I feel sorrow that you have to deal with this but joy that she has you by her side. No one can read it without being moved. I applaud you.

Oh - I was going to add that the piece of music you chose is simply so apt and this whole duo is going into my favourites.

Fay Slimm. said:

This fills the heart with its tender love toward a partner who slowly has to bow to dementia - the warmth of compassion steals over each line of this early morning write dear Goldi - - hugs as you face the daily challenge and keep up the writing as it helps I am sure.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ Love Jacques Loussier ~ so gentle a touch and yet so haunting a sound. It compliments your poem ! I have Friends & Family & Church Family and several of them struggle with Dementia ~ mainly the 60+. Most of them I can communicate and pray with ~ but with some the time has already come when their bubble is impenetrable and that point always makes me cry ~ because you lose something so so precious ~ the ability of communicate and philosophise. Even then MUSIC can build a bridge ! Love the balance of the hurt & hope in your Poem \"In the Stillness of the Morning\" ~ Yours Prayerfully ~ BRIAN

In the stillness of the morning, I see a man with gentle heart, with strong spirit, with peaceful mind. Gold, you are such a wonderful person. Love the writing.

It\'s wonderful Andy that you can find solace in these thoughts.... dealing with dementia becomes such a one-way street and can get very lonely. Spirits up!

Such a moving piece written from the heart - and love the musical interpretation.

orchidee said:

Sensitive write Gold. It\'s difficult. Hoping for more of those \'clear spots\' or \'clear days\'. Not an impossibility, surely?
Meanwhile - what more do I need? Just a pork pie or three to give the morning perfection! heehee.

I have seen people taken by dementia, and few can accept it as serenely as that. a serious subject and a serious poem, well written.

Nicholas Browning said:

You kick some serious ass with that pen of yours. I really do like this. \"In the stillness of the morning, what more do I need?\" Absolutely amazing. So simple, yet so heavy.
