THANKS ANDY ~ For reminding us to count our Blessings ! In the College where I work we have many Students with SPECIFIC NEEDS ! I often meet them in the Refectory and the are some of the happiest students in the College ~ especially the \"DOWNS\". I\'m on the ACCESS Committee and I make sure the whole College is accessible for Wheelchair Users etc etc. For some items such as raised troughs for Horticulture (V shaped for wheelchair users) we do have to raise money because ESSEX like all Counties id strapped for cash ! We have some students similar to the one you describe but they are very stoical and sometimes have 1:1 assistance. Thanks for sharing ~ loved the video. Please check my Poem \"FIVE FABULOUS FEMALES\" Yours as always BRIAN

Thank you Goldfinch60.
An excellent, superb write!
We could live like the woman - the key is inner peace within ourselves and all of us are on a journey to find it!
Keep writing

A fine write Gold. I saw some recent stories on TV of people living with, and working through, their \'special needs\' or disabilities. Not handicap - hideous word, gone out of fashion now, thankfully.
So should they be called dis-abilities even?
I\'ve gone off \'Andy Capp\' cartoons since I realised it\'s a way of saying \'handicap\'.

I had to hold back my 18+ watchdog. He is getting carried away, and not noticing the \'18+\' tick box on some poems! Woof, down Rover, not now!
(Note to self: Put that sherry down!).

THANKS ANDY ~ I like your panache ~ Half a Strauss Symphony is no symphony at all ! I love the POEM because it gives a very positive and optimistic view of LIFE & BEYOND as you look backwards & forward. In the first 21 lines ~ and tell us that your life has been doubly blessed 1. Because of your LOVE for your fellowman ~ and 2. Because you are indwelt by The Holy Spirit ~ who creates within you the FRUIT of the SPIRIT ~ Love ~ Joy ~ Peace etc. You finish with a SEXTET that assures us that as you contemplate YOUR ETERNAL LIFE ~ You have the assurance that the HOLY SPIRIT will be with you as you progress from Earth to Heaven ~ That is Faith in Action ~ AMEN !
I\'m only 35 so I hope to have another 55 years with ANGELA & THE HOLY SPIRIT ~ A double blessing. You have given us all a very positive perspective of LIFE & DEATH. I appreciate I could die tomorrow but I know I am HEAVEN bound ~ AMEN. Thanks for your \"Blessed Assurance\" Yours as ever BROTHER BRIAN !
I love it when the MUSE (Calliope) moves ~ it always produces something Perfect ~ AMEN.

Me being sensible - it\'s the Holy Spirit really, with us and within us. A Person, not an \'it\' or a \'force\'.
I say, not arrogantly, in a way it\'s not me that writes the hymn-poems, though I myself do actually put pen to paper, if you see what I mean?

Good old Cally. Is she very old? As old as us? Was she there in 1066?
Did we meet her? So many questions - me talking rubbish!
A fine write Gold. Not too near the very top of the summit just yet though?!

Thanks for the VIDEO ANDY ~ Lovely haunting melody ~ sung & played at 60\'s Ballad Pace Beautiful. Loved the POEM too ! having been born in 1983 ~ I missed the introduction of so so many titillating (an apt word) ~ Mini-skirts ~ Hot-pants ~ Topless Beaches and Bars ~ Cropped-tops ~ Flower-power ~ Free-love etc etc. However in the 21st Century all these things still exist and resurrect in one guise or another every Spring & Summer ! The only advantage I have is that I may live to see Man walk on Mars and even the outcome of BREXIT. Yours BRIAN

Oh lol, a fine write Gold!
I should get out more. But in some (old) quiz shows, they run down the steps, and some bobble. Bruce Forsyth always noticed it, to the point of being a bit pervy and embarrassing some women! They should reply: \'What\'s that dead hedgehog on your head?\' (his wig).

Just to say that the Moody Blues are one of my two favourite groups from back in the seventies, the other being Pink Floyd.

Thanks ANDY for lifting us UP to a higher PLANE ! Lovely solo piano ~ lyric & video. Love the POEM too ! The SYMBIOSIS of a good book with a background of good music is unsurpassed ~ and thank GOD it eliminates time & space. We are momentarily suspended in Paradise. Every Blessing ~ Love to JOYCE ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA.

Andy,
Thank you for the blissful gondola ride accompanied by...
“The gentle sound of Morricone.”
So satisfying getting “lost in music and words.”
Thank you for sharing!
Love to Joyce and you!

I always have a little envy of people who can write so eloquently of those beautiful moments in life.
My attempts never seem to quite capture the moment or drift off lamenting the transience of it!
I do have these joyful moments. They just evade my linguistic creation!
Thanks for sharing a mindful moment.

A fine write and fine way to pass the time. I tried reading in the garden, in the shade, but lasted all of 10 minutes! We best make the most of it while it\'s here though. We may say later on: \'The sun, not seen it a while now; is it that big yellow thing in the sky?\'

THANKS ANDY ~ for your eulogy to the FAB FOUR. There is a naivety and raw Scouse ingenuousness in their early work which is why they were such an instant Universal success story ! Later they lost their cohesion because they became too famous individually ! And now their legacy is preserved by the ODD COUPLE ~ Paul & Ringo. Their LOVE SONGS were primitive but genuine ~ AMEN. \"Love me Do\" complements your poem ! Yours BRIAN & ANGELA ~ Love to JOYCE. Please check the Poem ZIMBABWE and our FUSION on AFRICA Thanks B & A !

I, too, believe Love is ethereal, not of this world. Science cannot analyze it, recreate it, or define it. True, eternal Love is a rare event, not something experienced by everyone, only a few.
You know it if you have it, miss it if you don\'t.
Well expressed, Gold. - Phil A.
