idyllic. I\'m envious of my ex who\'s managed to live on a narrowboat for some years now and in some luxury too.
Your writing encourages me to romance the idea again.

The Car of My Dreams.
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

That was a fantastic video!
I enjoyed your dream sequence!

If I win the lottery, those “wheels” will be yours...
along with someone else who wants to own some special “wheels”!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Yes indeed ANDY ~ Cars ! I have a Brother who is a car freak ~ he gets one with his Job and usually manages to wangle a BMW. I\'m on the rota for ferrying elderly Ladies to and from Church so I have an Austin Meriva with high seats ! I\'ve never been interested in fast cars ! ANGELA would like a MERCEDES when we\'re married ! Loved the VIDEO but I am a PACIFIST and I think Warfare became inhuman when NOBEL (He didn\'t get a Peace Prize !) invented GUNPOWDER ! I have written to Theresa and suggested we scrap TRIDENT and put the NHS on a secure Financial Footing ~ AMEN ~ Yours BRIAN

The Car of My Dreams.
dusk arising said:

How could you be so unfaithful???? That lovely Anglia 105E sat in your driveway has served you and yours so well since 1968. Never let you down, always willing to do the Morrisons run or that stolen weekend at Weston. Never been too greedy at the fuel pumps... and now, look at you making a fool of yourself over some sprightly young thing.... really, a man of your age.... you should be ashamed..... where are the keys i want to take her for a spin....

If it helps I can really see you in it
So in my world your wheels are spinning
Just do me a favour and keep dreaming

Thanks for sharing

Wow this was an incredibly thought provoking piece, a teacher in occupation does not always translate to the true meaning; not in the way you\'ve represented it here, brilliant write Gold!

Threshold of Your Mind.
dusk arising said:

We are all teachers and students too. I\'m sure you\'ll agree we never stop learning. The teaching done at school is the easy stuff, regimented into a curriculum. The teaching done away from school is the important stuff in living.
Its a hit and miss game how we learn and what lessons we actually do learn in that way. But it never stops and daily we are given the opportunity to re-learn and change some aspect of our outlook upon this existence.

A fine write Gold. I heard a teaching method, in 3 stages
* I (the teacher) do; you (the pupil) watch.
* You do; I watch
* You do! (without me watching)

Nature\'s Canvas of Majesty
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

SKY above is brighter Blue
EARTH beneath is sweeter Green
Something gleams in every Hue
Godless eyes have never seen !

Because I am an Environmental Scientist
I see extra dimensions in Nature
But it is as a Christian that I see it as
The handiwork of my Creator God
That is see its true Beauty ~ Purpose ~ Order & Design !
Thanks for sharing & inspiring ~ Yours B & A
Finlandia is always in my TOP 10 ~ and of course it inspired
that great Hymn \"Be still my Soul ....... !\"

Andy,

Nature and Music...
A perfect combo enhanced with your beautifully penned poem which completes the canvas!

I enjoyed your share very much!

Now I’m ready for my cup of coffee to be enjoyed while listening to a wonderful CD filled with “Poetry In Motion” compliments of the fabulous SYSTEMA SYNTHETICA!

Perfection Failed.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks STEVE ~ The perfect fusion of JAZZ & CLASSICS ~ Like Yehudi Menhuin & Stephan Grapelli ~ is awesome ! Love the message in the Poem ~ However in many walks of life we do strive for perfection and sometimes get near it ! When GOD designed the plants ~ He built in Biosynthetic Pathways to produce the DEEP RED of a Rose or the scent of JASMINE ! You know that using Radioactive tracers we can now examine these pathways ~ thinking God\'s thoughts after HIM. When I worked on Plant biosynthesis and unravelled the route ~ I felt this was perfection because we were exploring the creative Mind of God ~ AMEN ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA

There is so much wisdom shared in these words! We do often strife for perfection which is impossible to obtain. Thanks for reminding us we are only human. Great write.

dusk arising said:

Firstly, a big BIG thank you for introducing me to the Classical Jazz Quartet. Wonderful to hear a familiar and famous piece played with feeling by obviously excellent muso\'s. I will definately be investigating them further.
Great writing again today conveying a wholesome message.
Satisfaction with ones achievements along a path of improvement - possibly seeking the mytical goal of perfection - will indeed bring happiness. Being aware of and accepting ones own shortcomings is true self knowledge. In recent years a songwriter penned - in words of admiration - \'your perfect imperfections,\' perhaps bringing the subject more easily into focus.
