I admire the painting and love the poem. My daughter went through some hard times way back (she is now happily married and just had her first baby) and during that time took up painting at the local community college while waiting to get into University of Hawaii. Her first two paintings won a school competition. During that time she painted a lot, but when life got better, the painting stopped. Right now there is no time. I am so glad that your daughter is painting again. The poem is beautifully sensitive and full of love and hope!

I am so pleased to learn that she is on the road again and I just love her painting - will you be able to publish more over time? And I do like the poem which is written with such sensitivity.

A lovely write and fine pic Gold.
But as for me - that looks a bit like the ball and chain KP put on my leg. There\'s no hope for me though. How will I ever break free? I should have known, with the wedding being on Halloween! I did not see the bad omen. heehee.

The Intensity of Silence.

Gold,
The more she is silent, the louder are her screams! She is extremely quiet, but her body movements communicate a different
message!
A relatable poignant write, my friend!

dusk arising said:
Reminds me of when i was asked to stand quietly in a sound laboratory where they were testing the volume of noise generated by gas fires - after about twenty seconds the noise of blood pulsing through my ears was close to painful.
Silence reveals the missing. The missing shouts for attention.

I know you have the strength to overcome. I can recall my father telling me never to get drawn into pointless argument - in silence there is strength.

Sad, but true, Goldie! As time goes on the intensity will get louder and louder. But I know that your strength and your faith will overcome these louder and louder silences.

A fine write Gold. Know what you mean. In so silent places, it can actually hurt one\'s ears.
Then - silence was shattered, cos I began to sing! lol.

dusk arising said:
So it shall be for you both. This is where i get confused with the ten commandments (not being a christian but holding christian values as being wholesome) for envy is a sin. But in the nicest wholesome way, i envy you two for the love you have..
A really moving piece.
And a truly magnificent piece of music from the irreplaceable NKC.

FredPeyer said:
Goldie, this is a beautiful tribute to your dad. Yes he does live on through you and I am happy that you are aware of it. In many ways we are mirrors of our parents, be it good or bad. Our parents not only gave us life, they shaped who we are and what we have become. Great poem!

KEEP ON DANCING ~ ANDY ~ In your HEART if not on your feet ! NKC is a great example of the BALLAD PERIOD ~ 1940 ~ 1970 ~ with Crosby ~ Sinatra ~ Dean Martin ~ Tony Bennett (The only one remaining) ~ Jim Reeves etc. Their songs are so romantic ! I give a talk on Nat & Natalie Cole and there is a digitally remastered duet by them called UNFORGETABLE ~ it sold 15 million copies. It was not possible in their lifetime because NATALIE was only 15 when her Dad died ! Thanks for the memory ~ Yours BRIAN There is a song called \"Mister Cole don\'t sing Rock & Roll !\"

He looks a lovely man and instantly likeable......... it\'s disarming isn\'t it to see resemblances - my nephew has my mother\'s eyes - EXACTLY - and it\'s a bewildering feeling when I talk to him.
