BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ A great reminder of WHY it is and HOW it is ! When People ask me \"Does GOD have a sense of HUMOR ?\" I tell them to look at a Frog and and Owl and a Naked Man full frontal with his hands in the Air ~ all funny without trying ! I asked GOD What about WOMAN ?\" \"Ah He replied ~ She is no laughing matter !\" Yours BRIAN

A great piece of work - I\'ll send it my son. He\'s a great skier and knows all there is to know about skiing - with his wife he runs a travel company which specialises in bespoke skiing holidays.

Skiing thought terrifies me but like you see, there will always be a way forward in this life and into the hereafter. \'Seeing\' most definately is believing here.

That\'s good one Goldie. Reminds me of that question how can one tell that the secretary is Portugee? By the white-out on the screen!

Goldi,
A great poem and song!
I hadn’t heard that song
in a while! A good reminder
to help us realize that we can find the good in chaos.

I love the two last lines!😂

FredPeyer said:

I love that metaphor of the river, Goldie! You are saying it beautifully, and I can see myself walking with you along that river right up to that last bridge, a bridge we all will have to cross sooner or later.

\"He\'s the Laptop Man
His name is DAN
He tops on his lap
Whenever he can !
And when He\'s
Finished ~ his LAP
Consigned to oblivion
Every TAP !

Love LIFE OF BRIAN (that\'s me !) sacrilegious but true to life. Personally I think GOD likes all these portrayals of JESUS ~ Like Godspell ~ Supastar etc because it makes people think about His SON ~ AMEN ! Thanks ANDY ~ Yours BRIAN

A great poem and words
of wisdom, Gold!

Yes...let’s ”Always look for the
open door”...and enter with an
open mind.

Your poem brought to mind
one of my favorites...

“A mind is like a parachute,
it doesn’t work if it’s not open.”
(Frank Zappa)

Thank you Goldfinch60.

I liked this poem.

Life too also involves paths those open to us and those closed to us.

Keep writing

A fine and true write Gold. Ahh, maybe I didn\'t learn the quote. When I married KP it seemed like: \'When one door opens, another one slams in your face!\' doh! Helen Keller was, and is, a huge inspiration.

A nice peaceful piece. A quiet song of life free of everyday struggles, fears, and greeds. It conjures up a state of mind similar to meditation or mindfulness. I wish I could always float in My River.
