Which Path?

A fine write. In another sense, I\'m reminded we should take the narrow way that leads to life. Maybe that way is interesting too? From a spiritual dimension I mean.

Reminds me of our apartment in Cyprus - so hospitable in the country restaurants although they can be a bit sourpuss in the towns.

I love the beautiful simplicity of the narrative describing cherished memories and the humor.

What a wonderful gift you are giving your granddaughter, Goldfinch! She will carry the memory of these outings with her the rest of her life, no doubt.

Thanks for sharing ANDY ~ Ethnic Restaurants are a wonderful experience ~ not just the food but the music ~ the waiters ~ the language ~ the ambiance ~ the wine etc. Eating in an Authentic Greek Restaurant is much cheaper than having to fly to Athens ! We use the word EUCHARIST to describe the Communion Service (We Evangelicals call it The Breaking of Bread or the Lord\'s Table). The Communion Service is a Thanksgiving service to thank God for his Gift of Salvation ~ through the death of His Son Jesus on the Cross. The word EUCHARIST is derived from the Greek word EFCHARISTO meaning (as you now know) THANK YOU ! The Greeks always have a word for it ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

Maybe they\'ll miss you, now you\'ve gone?! doh! Pity they may have had to wait until you were gone (not in the Steward role).

I know you don\'t do these things to get thanked but it is so disheartening when all your efforts go unrecognised. I was a member of our local Patients Group at the local Medical practice and gave a lot of help and advice which was adopted and acted upon (bearing in mind my medical legal background) but when I retired from the committee I didn\'t even get an acknowledgement to my letter - all that happened was that all communication from the practice ceased. Yes some folk are so anal and self absorbed. Your poem captures it well.

GIVE THANKS ~ With a greatful heart

GIVE THANKS ~ For all our Workers do for us

Your experience ~ it is very UNGODLY ~ BRIAN

I had no thanks from something over a short time-span. Not that we expect or demand it, but nice to notice we are (or were) actually there.
\"You done your stint. Bye then. We\'ll boot you out the back door\"! doh!

Beautiful poem, Goldfinch! One I can relate to, but my therapeutic choice would be Vivaldi ... the strings really do it for me. I look forward to more of your work.

Ah - I will be there tonight doing just this (if it isn\'t raining and probably listening to Sibelius) plus, of course a gin and tonic with ice and lemon.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
THANKS ANDY ~ for sharing such a symbiotic gem ~ aurally and verbally. Richer is a fine composer and his music is Divine. For me String Quartets are the most Heavenly form of music ~ each instrument complementing the other three. Another example where the whole is much greater than the mere sum of parts ! I have an older Lady Friend who is a cellist and when she plays for me it lifts me up to Heaven. The body of the cello has the same dimensions as an adult human which is why cello music is so sensuous ! Yours BRIANi

I share your love of this type of music, Goldfinch. The strings in particular. A violin can enchant me, and a cello can break my heart.
Thank you for sharing the music and your lovely poem! I will be publishing a poem of my own today about music. Be well.
