Gold,
A veritable tech explosion in progress! I have to say that I do need my iPhone. My one and only communication device! Of course, for my children it’s a different story! However, there are some rules they have to abide by when we’re together! Never when we’re eating or walking in the street!

Goldfinch

this is all too common these days-sadly. there is so much to talk about with people, but our world is evolving elsewhere.
Great piece of writing, reflecting today\'s society

To me they look like aliens walking around with the phones stuck in their faces - maybe Darwinism will grow a special ledge on faces to hold the phones....... sounds more like isolation and loneliness than communication doesn\'t it.......

So true Michael. They reckon that 45% of youngsters only converse via there \'phones.
We have a neighbour with a 15 year old daughter, I was talking to her mother a few days ago and she was saying that her daughter never sees her friends outside of school but only communicates via her \'phone. She has tried taking her \'phone from her daughter but life then apparently is horrendous between the two of them.

Conversation has gone downhill and our youngsters are losing the art - and when they like do use it they like use it badly like. But they are not alone - lost count of the number of times I heard \'I was sat\', \'he was stood\' etc on the TV last night. Grrrrr.

As for the use of phones the world doesn\'t see itself any more, heads are downward bent with no appreciation of surroundings. So you can guess I love your write Andy.

Sun and Moon.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

The SCRIPTURES tell us that P;anet Earth is blessed with two Perfect Lights for free. The SUN by day which is also a Solar heater ~ at no extra cost ! God knew there would be some nocturnal Activity ~ but also that the majority would be sleeping ! So he created the Moon which would reflect the Sun\'s light by night ~ MOONLIGHT ! It is much less intense than SUNLIGHT but sufficient for early man (20,000 BC ?) to do the Night Shift ! Because we have so much artificial light we tend to overlook how important MOONLIGHT would have been in 20,000 BC ! Yours BRIAN.

Beautifully discrptive!
I often spend time just gazing at the moon.
It seems to calm my mind, when things are really going crazy in my life.
Well done!

Heehee thanks Gold. One of them in the clip is me in me younger days. Is it?! So that\'s the reason for some dwindling congregations these days?! Know we why.
Time for me to torture KP with another song now.

That is a great write, Gold!
An enjoyable read! You
fulfilled the challenge.
Yes, indeed!
One thing though... you
won’t be rid of him! You’re
stuck together by poetry!
Hooray for the great mind
and the mighty pen.
Hooray for FRIENDSHIPS!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ The acoustic Guitar is my favourite instrument and the only one I ever really mastered. Sometimes life surprises us ! I was staying a Spooky house in Savannah while the Residents (Missionaries) were in Haiti ! The had left a number for us to ring as they had promised lunch to any Residents ! When we arrive at the house ~ about 20 minutes by car it was very impressive (one whole dividing wall was a Fish Tank ! After a lavish evening meal our host ~ who looked just like Henry VIII ~ announced he would sing to us with his LUTE ! Apparently he was a well known musician in Savannah commanding a fee of $500 + for Weddings & parties etc. He had a very Elizabethan Sound (I have heard Julian Bream @ Snape Maltings !) One of the Songs he sang was Greensleeves ~ Awesome. Thanks for the Memory ~ Yours BRIAN

Anyone writing a poem about my singing? it\'ll be a very dark, horrific, terrifying poem, probably called \'Two Cats Fighting\', lol
