Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love the LOST CHORD ~ There is a touch of obtaining the unobtainable about it which is the essence of all Scientific Research ! We liked your HOMILY on INTEGRITY. The jobs we undertake require absolute integrity ! Whether it is teaching \"The Truth of Science\" ~ Research into Coastal Erosion or Practicing the Art of Physiotherapy ~ absolutes must ALWAYS be followed ! We both find that this \"Integrity of Profession\" spills over in to everyday life ~ OK ! Blessings & Love to You & Joyce ~

Integrity in Life.
dusk arising said:
Ah, a part of me believes i have become the mature craftsman who takes a pride in his work.
There is no such thing as described in your last line you know. For I, me, the decision maker, am always watching - I would know.
However, lifes experience and todays economic reality take their toll. When ones services are wanted for the lowest price, a trade off compromise is achieved. \'what will suffice\' replaces perfection.
Once again a thought provoking piece from Goldfinch which gets the juices flowing.

A fine write Gold. Yes - bit similar to \'If a tree fell in a wood, and no one was around, would it make a noise when it fell?\'
Also: \' Not doing things any differently, whether people are around or not\'.

Fine sentiments Andy. I don\'t always get it right - so often I get engrossed in my own world and forget others but I do try.

A good write Gold. There\'s a whole book on \'Feel the fear and do it\'. We might umm and ahh about it (me too!) - too dangerous? too risky; etc?

This fine write strikes a chord with me - in art it\'s the same - I hate the term \'less is more\' but I can\'t think of a better phrase at the moment.

A fun-filled write that makes jest of the mishaps that oftentimes occur in life. You\'ve outdone yourself on this one Goldfinch.
Thanks for posting. :-)

Michael Edwards said:
There is much debate in the art world about painting in the style of photorealism. The argument often heard is that you might as well take a photo.
There is undoubted skill in painting in this style but from an artists perspective (well certainly from mine) there is no soul in it – there is nothing of the artist in it, there is no artistic interpretation. I would go so far to say it is not the work of an artist but of an artisan practising (very skilfully) a craft.
Well having got that off my chest I much enjoyed your poem Andy.

Neville said:
From the drawing of our first breath we are conditioned and shaped by the society and culture in which we are predominantly raised... tis a good thing many of the boundaries, stereotypes and prejudices of old are gradually being broken down... I raise my glass to the tolerances I anticipate tomorrow...... a splendid observation captured and now of course preserved for eternity .... Neville

I\'ve still got the original Geard Hoffnung recording i
of the brick song - it had me in stitches back in the early 1960s and still does - the anticipation of what\'s coming. And I recognise the write - it\'s great to hear an east Asian with a cockney accent - no disrespect just admiration how they have embraced a different culture.
