BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks for this ANDY ~ For me JC is the ultimate Poet and Balladeer ! Misunderstood because for most he was too deep to understand. A total Man Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit and this is well expressed in his Poetry & Songs. Johnny was forged in the white hot furnace of the mid 20th C and there will never be his like again a perfect blend of SAINT & SINNER melded with the infinite LOVE of June Carter and a voice so full of pathos it reached your SOUL ~ Thanks for carin\' and postin\' a very clever Poem ~ BRIAN !

You bring to mind the acceptance of the wonders of existence which we will never understand. With age comes an appreciation of the natural beauty surrounding us.
Spiritual peace i think is the message i take from your work here.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
THANKS ANDY ~ for reminding us that we need to be at one with NATURE and to maintain the equilibrium between the FLORA & FAUNA ! We have an obligation to water & feed the BIRDS because we have destroyed their natural habitats to build our own nests ans have covered the Spring Meadows with concrete Roads and Supermarkets ! So we should not be surprised when the feral Flora & Fauna & Insects come back into our gardens & houses to regain THEIR TERRITORY ! My MUM has a POND ~ Bird Baths ~ Peanuts & Fat Balls etc to encourage the Wildlife ~ AMEN Happy Sunday ~ Yours BRIAN !

Thank you for sharing such personal information! I admire your strength and fortitude for being able to share your friendship with your ex-wife and her husband! Extraordinary!! Not many can do that. You are very special!
Wishing your friend a Happy Birthday! Enjoy the weekend! Will you and your wife be celebrating with him and his wife?
