Was your Spirit like that in 1066 too? Did something go wrong with my Spirit when I told Harold to look up?!

Great writing and inspirational work. It is beautiful when we can externalise our feelings through painting and writing or any other way of art work. It is giving physical shape to our thoughts. Brilliant. Thank you.

This was simply amazing. You have mastered a way to manage the bad emotion within and let love win in life. An Art. Great write :)

Thanks ANDY ~ MICHAEL is a great asset to MPS because he communicates Visually & Verbally ~ a great gift. It is a Spiritual Painting of infinite depth and it is so so dynamic a fitting representation of GOD\'s HOLY SPIRIT ~ The sound of a mighty rushing wind. MICHAEL claims to be an ATHEIST ~ but as we know GOD has great sense of Humour (He created MAN !) and he uses Michael\'s artistic skills to lift us all on to a Higher Spiritual Plane ! The ways of GOD are well beyond our Human Understanding and can only be perceived through FAITH ~ AMEN. Thanks for your excellent poetic interpretation of MICHAEL\'s masterpiece ~ YOURS BRIAN

Good write G/F. If I had spent more time looking at pictures in 1066, the unfortunate events may not have happened. I know - this is a very loose-link comment to 1066!

Well done cooking analogy, Goldfinch. I\'m not a cook, but did try making zucchini bread once and found it to be a very gratifying experience.

Thanks ANDY ~ There is nothing so cathartic as baking one\'s own BREAD. Modern Breadmakers take all the fun (sweat & tears) out of the process ! My MUM is a Confectioner and always bakes her own Bread & Cakes ~ she taught us all to make bread ~ a primitive pleasure ~ BRIAN\' Please check today\'s Cri de Coeur for Mother Britain ~ Thanks B.

Ohhh I could be all psychological - discussing the merits of \'letting it all out\' in anger; or keeping it back. Which is best? As I would be an amateur psychologist, I may spout a lot of waffle!
Anyway, If I had been making bread in 1066 for the troops, instead of being in the battle, Harold may have been OK. I just had to stick my oar in, and show up! heehee.

Now that I\'m thoroughly salivating...aaah fresh, warm bread...I can\'t speak for all, but I can definitely tell the difference in the food of a passionate cook. I love cooking, and come from a long line of great country cooks that enjoy gardening, fresh ingredients, and canning. Of late, I\'ve been interested in heirloom recipes. I\'m sure all that sweet love you bake with is divine when it hits the palate and warms the heart!

Great method description - we make our bread but cheat by using a bread making machine - still finishing off yesterdays wholemeal loaf. Nothing like waking up to the smell of freshly made bread - except of course to read some of the great poetry on this site - yours included.

You made that bread yet?! heehee.

orchidee said:

Why are people punching that punch-bag or cushion? Why, what has the cushion done to deserve that punishment?! heehee.
I couldn\'t do it if the cushion had a picture of an animal or person on it. It would feel too real.
Bit like one who said: \'I\'m a man of peace; and if you don\'t agree with me I will punch you in the face!\'

A fine definition of a Friend, Goldfinch! They are gold.

orchidee said:

Good write G/F. Friends and acki-wotsits. Can\'t spell it, been at the sherry!
Well, with friends like me in 1066, who needs enemies?! heehee.
Or sometimes it\'s a friend (who is trying to help you) in need....is a pest!

Yes such friends in that latter verse are worth more than gold. A good reminder that despite the other kind we can find true friends appear when needed.

FredPeyer said:

Goldfinch you nailed it. There are two kinds of people. The ones who understand and the ones who dont. My definition of a \"friend\" is a person you can call at 2am to come get you. He/She comes, gets you, and only then gives you hell for being a dumb shit.

Michael Edwards said:

Friends and even acquaintances (got the spelling of that right first time - its going to be a good day) are like the air we breathe - without them life is not worth living. You are so right that just being there for us if we need them(or if they need us) is one of life\'s blessings. So well expressed here.

orchidee said:

Well, there was that feisty MP at Parliament\'s opening. He made a joke to crack on with things, as the first Ascot race was 2.30pm. heehee.

orchidee said:

Erm, yes. Harold said the same as 1066. Why didn\'t I shut up? I just had to say \'Look up, Sir\' and put my foot in it, didn\'t I?! ooh.

A strong commentary which, sadly, is generally true. I do sense a change however, a rejection of the old ways.

I\'m not so sure that they tell lies - they simply never tell the truth. Great read.
