Walk To Eternity.
orchidee said:
I shall never understand the hymn lines:
\'Even eternity\'s too short, To extol thee\'. It\'s hyperpole, exaggeration for effect, I think. How can eternity be \'too short\'?
A fine write Gold. I\'ve just thought of it as a state of being. If it\'s a path I don\'t think it will be a circle. But oh no! Will you hope I\'m not on the same path, cos I shall sing for eternity? It will be lasting torment. heehee.

Ah, so that is who you are! I thought I recognized you, as a fellow monk in a previous life, Goldie. Wise words, well spoken here, my friend.

CRICKET lovely CRICKET ~ It was at Headingly (Yorkshire) where I saw it ! My Dad was a Cricketer and I went to A Boys School so we took it all very seriously and a Test Match lasts 5 days ! Trump would expect to build a Skyscraper in that time and sometimes does ! It\'s good for your Love Life and I could judge \"A Fine Leg\" and \"Bowl A Maiden Over\" or \"Catch Her in Her Slips\" ! Only in a Cricket Commentary (Lords 1976 West Indies v England) could Johnners say \"The Bowler\'s HOLDING ~ The Batsman\'s WILLEY\" Cricket Lovely Cricket ~ Thanks GOD for BREXIT the only place in Europe they play it is CORFU ~ We\'ll get our National Game back ~ AMEN ! Yours Brian (Man with the square leg !).

Describes it well - nothing like a game of cricket on the village green where I enjoy it most - the king of games.

Goldie, my heart goes out to you and your wife! So much is written about love, but you are the living embodiment of real love, of selflessness and strength. And this real love knows no walls!

orchidee said:
Yep, great write Gold. In fact, part of a message of a sermon/talk I heard recently.
Oohh, I\'m not asleep in them! Well, it helps seeing the talk on a screen AND hearing it at the same time. I fairly often take notes too, during the talk. Then sometimes am able to form it into a hymn-poem. One to follow soon....
I\'m afraid of crossing some literal bridges. I think I might fall in a river. But that\'s another aspect.

I\'ve visited several prisons in the course of my work and this super sensitive write really brings home the sense of loneliness and entrapment I experienced and which reflects in the situation you so well describe.

Sensitive write Gold. Seems strange climbing back in to prison. I went to a show art a former prison. Had not seen the inside before. Saw Oscar Wilde\'s cell there. Bit ghastly - ground floor was for criminals awaiting execution.
