Goldi my heart goes out to you in the problems of tending dementia - -- it must be such a challenge and the verse states plainly that those caring for dire disability have to take rest. Hoping your week will bring you pleasant sleep and more relaxation dear friend.

Thanks again UNCLE ANDY for another very moving POEM. It prepares us for similar should we ever have to face it. God tells us \"His Grace enables us to bear all things\" You have spoken lovingly of being with JOYCE and GOD also provides respite to enable you to gain the Physical & Spiritual strength to lovingly recieve Joyce back again ! True Love is victoriuos in all situations. It enables ANGELA & I to rejoice even though we are 11,500 miles apart. However we can phone & write & because it is 2019 talk face to face on Skype everyday.
Every Blessing & Love to you BOTH ~
BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love KF ~ perfect song for the Poem ~ B & A 🧡

A sensitive write Gold. We were glad when our manager went on holiday, but that\'s a different situation! More like \'While the cat\'s away, the mice will play\'.
A friend\'s father is in a Care Home permanently. He is 97, though my friend has lived in his own place for years now.

We are born human Goldfinch. Every instinct a bratty child exhibits is human instinct, human nature. We are taught about spiritual matters to \'improve\' us. One of the great contradictions which western religious folk wont face up to is that we are supposed to be created in gods image... therefore our basic instincts are godly. Killing, robbing, raping, etc etc...
Why so many half baked contradictions in that bible? If created in that image why do we need commandments?
All religions teach \'follow me and do as i say\' except Buddhism which shows ways to enlightenment without the need for any god.

GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY : Love ELLA and this song : made me think of MY BRIAN ! Its 11pm TUESDAY here so a good song to go to bed with ! I agree with the sentiment in your Poem : we all have a Spirit within us which motivates us ! As committed Christians we are also indwelt by the Holy Spirit which empowers us to show Love : Joy : Peace and the the other six Fruit of the Spirit : this makes us truely HUMAN. In my JOB as a PHYSIOTERRORIST I need an abundance of TLC because all my Clients are hurting and I need a healing touch to restore their confidence & mobility ! Because I am filled with the Holy Spirit I am a much better PHYSIO. TLC is also a Fruit of the Spirit. The same is true of Brian as a Teacher & Student Councellor ~ AMEN !
Blessings & love to you BOTH :

Indeed so! A fine write Gold. A really important point, I think. Otherwise (the Christian view, or Protestant emphasis) we are trying to earn and gain our own salvation. It can\'t be done.
It\'s like a bridge illustration - if no bridge, we may even get 99% across a gap by our great good deeds, but we still fall in the ravine.

Thank you Angela. My feeling about writing poetry is that it must convey feelings and for me to do it that way I find Tharp the ‘rules’ of writing poetry get in the way if my feelings. Andy

Hi UNCLE ANDY : Love Miles : great horn & great Jazz Classic one of our Favorite. Im trying to be a more COHERANT POET : wit a little help from BRIAN. My POEM for tomorrow \"WELLINGTON\" the capital of NZ : is a \"Barrel Acrostic\" but alas it does not follow Briab\'s strict syllabic rubric. However I am reminded that MODERN POETRY is sans : form or function or grammar etc it is simply WORDS : but not necessarily in the right order ! My only criteria for a POEM is that (like all Burns poems) it must be recitable and in the reciting give \"pleasure\" ! That usually demands a snippet of Rhyme & Rhythm & Reason !
Blessings & Love to you BOTH

I read an article recently about critics and poets it was the most absurd thing I\'ve ever read but I love what you wrote it would shut the critic up. Good job

I believe we should follow how we feel and let are hearts do the writing, not all great poetry needs to make sense or even be relatable there\'s just some art that grabs us eye deep and just click to our souls. great write, G.

It always dismays me when i hear some twerp identify one artists work (usually a musician, or a bunch of them) as being \'the best\'. How narrow minded and blinkered.
There are several genres of music, performance art and visual arts which do not appeal to me but one has to appreciate that others have a different and equally valid point of view.
Something i hate to hear is \'i hate jazz\' from people who have no idea what jazz is.

Great write G
I think people either want to see or they don\'t.
Want to listen or they won\'t
Some don\'t want to know where the poem the painting or the music comes from (LOVE The MD selection by the way) That would take investment of time and emotion,,, I think
Keep them coming we love them

A fine write Gold. yep, it is poetry. We don\'t have to torture ourselves as to whether it rhymes or not every time, though we may like iambic-wotsits (pentameters) etc!

Mozart Acrostic 1.
dusk arising said:
For my ears i prefer the recording of the Zemlinsky quartet accompanied by Jan Mach on clarinet recorded in 2017. It has warmth and a more gentle fluidity than the japanese interpretation in your video. Often i find far eastern interpretations rather clinical, lacking feeling or emotion.
But each to their own.
