Thanks ANDY ~ Ravel ~ Harp & a Van Goff Painting ~ plus a philosophical Andy Poem ~ a Blessing indeed ! I love the HARP ~ a Divine Instrument and I have Welsh Friends who are harpists & Penillion Singers. Some of my extended Family are Harpists. We are all dealt a different hand in life and the ACES you mention ~ Love ~ Art ~ Music ~ Nature ~ Words all enable you to dictate |Trumps ! Angela & I both play Bridge and it is so much better if you have a Partner who understands You and Your Game ! A Game of Bridge ~ with its hands and bidding and counter bidding is a good analogy for LIFE ~ Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

We each are dealt a hand from which we play. I am thankful for the \'tricks\' my hand has provided and admiring of those who appear to have been more favourably dealt. Always keeping in mind the words of Max Ehrmann \"If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself\".

A brilliant poem Goldfinch!
You have certainly captured the essence of life in your poem!
Life is indeed a lottery!
From my own experiences in life I am discovering that you need luck in life at times to succeed.
Keep writing

I see what you mean, and good write Gold. I\'m not one for \'luck\'. I suppose I say it though in everyday phrases, such as \'A stroke of luck\' or \'A bit of good fortune\'.

Not a certain Trump? You are hob-nobbing with politicians? I could. The PM goes to a local-ish church with her hubby! Would there be any point meeting her one Sunday over coffee after the service?!

Andy,
A great clip! I enjoyed listening to the birds! They’re magical!
I let my mom listen to the whole hour of “Garden birds, blackbird song. Sounds of Nature Blackbird 1 hour of Blackbird’s Song”! She enjoyed it...didn’t close her eyes once!
Interesting Fibonacci sequence! Great work!

They may eventually come to follow you like a dog. Doesn\'t take them long to figure where their sustenance is coming from.

Loved this and I\'m laughing Andy because I faithfully feed the birds BUT we have a roaming bear who circulates in the warmer months so at night I have to take the feeders inside or he destroys them (I\'ve never seen him - my neighbor has - he is 6 feet high standing according to him - so never want to see him either!).... In winter I faithfully trudge out there in covered nightwear to shovel around the feeder so they can get to the fallen seed - and throw down extra on the ground for the squirrels and chipmunks... but can\'t do that in summer because of the wild turkeys that flock and hog the area if I do......... baffles on the birdstand of course to keep squirrels out of the actual feeder....... a lot of fun figuring out all this wild life!

A lovely write and clip Gold. We have pigeons (maybe a family), magpies, and big kestrels. The other birds fly off when they swoop down.

You have the rare gift of showing us the richness of so many facets of love when you bare your soul in the written word.
I hope you collate your work so that your grandchildren are able to look back to the fineness from whence they came.
A truly moving write today.

A lovely write Gold. Some healing, in a measure maybe, through it. But not boiling - I only lasted 10 minutes in the garden one scorching day! That\'ll be one day back in 1066 - you remember it?!

What a lovely sentimental write and I love the music - I can recall listening to it during a slow drive with my own dear wife through the White mountains in Southern Spain - memories.

The Old Man by the River.
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Your poem conjures up the meaning of our existence: we were created for Love. In the Christian tradition this is most eminently shared through the “flowing waters” of the Holy Spirit, born of the Father, through Christ our Lord. Great piece - I appreciate the reflection your poem invited me to...

Andy,
A super write! As I was reading your poem, I could sense that it was about you...the ending confirmed it! I enjoyed the video. She has a terrific voice!
I researched her and listened to the video of her performance on the day her husband died where she announced his passing to the audience after she had finished performing!

Your river, my river, all rivers. Rivers of souls perpetually inspiring, flowing timelessly but soaking up our time in this existence. Time of peace and reflection as can be read in your meaningful piece today. Why are we so drawn to bodies of water to contemplate our existence.
