Thanks ANDY ~ The trouble is most conversation is trivial and it gets trivial answers. I have several Friends with whom I have in depth conversation about things Spiritual ~ Temporal & Scientific and I relish our encounters of the third kind. In a piece we wrote for a Christmas Skit is the line \"I wanna put my white coat on again ~ talk with Academic Gentlemen ~ Play with our Model Molecules ~ Smell H2S again ~ Make compound out of THIOPHEN ~ I ain\'t seen a good explosion in Years. The Science conversations when engaged in Research are very special ~ among people who share similar interests and a common (but rare vocabulary ~ about quantum mechanics etc !) is a thing of beauty ~ but alas \"en~passant\" conversations are very mundane compared with those privileged years. Once at a wedding (I am an ex-Rock Climber) I found that with the Best Man ~ I could discuss the pros & cons of \"The Curving Crack on Cloggy\" but such moments are rare ! Thanks for making the point ~ I refuse to carry a MOBILE PHONE ~ too intrusive and too trivial ~ Angela even brings hers to BED ! Yours BRIAN

A lot of truth to what you said. We are so used to being interrupted by commercials and texts, we no longer have an attention span.

A fine and true write Gold. Also, some are too busy thinking of what they are going to say next, what THEY want to say next, that they don\'t listen.

Whilst visiting the Leicester Botanical Gardens on Saturday we were amazed that we only saw about 12 people and everyone except a couple of very young children, were looking down at their mobiles (probably texting each other) - no attention given to each or to the beautiful surroundings - no wonder communications are almost a thing of the past. Based on this I wonder if even spoken words will soon be a thing of the past.

Oooooooo a hard truth that we aren\'t even aware of most times..... there\'s often an element of \"what can I say so they won\'t think me this or that\" going on ...

Gold,
A fine poem...and your daughter’s painting is extraordinary! So talented! All the best to her! Maybe you and she can collaborate on a book of poetry. You write and she’ll illustrate!

I admire the painting and love the poem. My daughter went through some hard times way back (she is now happily married and just had her first baby) and during that time took up painting at the local community college while waiting to get into University of Hawaii. Her first two paintings won a school competition. During that time she painted a lot, but when life got better, the painting stopped. Right now there is no time. I am so glad that your daughter is painting again. The poem is beautifully sensitive and full of love and hope!

I am so pleased to learn that she is on the road again and I just love her painting - will you be able to publish more over time? And I do like the poem which is written with such sensitivity.

A lovely write and fine pic Gold.
But as for me - that looks a bit like the ball and chain KP put on my leg. There\'s no hope for me though. How will I ever break free? I should have known, with the wedding being on Halloween! I did not see the bad omen. heehee.

Gold,
The more she is silent, the louder are her screams! She is extremely quiet, but her body movements communicate a different
message!
A relatable poignant write, my friend!

The Intensity of Silence.
dusk arising said:
Reminds me of when i was asked to stand quietly in a sound laboratory where they were testing the volume of noise generated by gas fires - after about twenty seconds the noise of blood pulsing through my ears was close to painful.
Silence reveals the missing. The missing shouts for attention.

I know you have the strength to overcome. I can recall my father telling me never to get drawn into pointless argument - in silence there is strength.

Sad, but true, Goldie! As time goes on the intensity will get louder and louder. But I know that your strength and your faith will overcome these louder and louder silences.

A fine write Gold. Know what you mean. In so silent places, it can actually hurt one\'s ears.
Then - silence was shattered, cos I began to sing! lol.

dusk arising said:
So it shall be for you both. This is where i get confused with the ten commandments (not being a christian but holding christian values as being wholesome) for envy is a sin. But in the nicest wholesome way, i envy you two for the love you have..
A really moving piece.
And a truly magnificent piece of music from the irreplaceable NKC.

The Man in the Mirror.
FredPeyer said:
Goldie, this is a beautiful tribute to your dad. Yes he does live on through you and I am happy that you are aware of it. In many ways we are mirrors of our parents, be it good or bad. Our parents not only gave us life, they shaped who we are and what we have become. Great poem!
