The Glory of Jazz.
Louis Gibbs said:
We had similar events as this where I once lived, Gainesville GA.
I have had the same reaction and deep appreciation to those events as I, too, love jazz. Well done poem, Goldfinch!

Great tribute. I lived in New Orleans for a while. There were a number of nite spots to enjoy jazz at its finest.

Which Path?

Life is composed of the many different roads taken, but there is no clear path. This poem reminded me of The Road Not Taken - by Robert Frost :) and was too a good read!

I guess, in my case, you could say I to0k \"the road less traveled\". It has been a fascinating, challenging journey for sure. Love your poem, Goldfinch.

Is this a pathological question ? All paths lead to Gnome , Alaska . The path less expensive with the most frequent mile rewards .

Life\'s dichotomy - I would travel off the beaten track looking for interesting sights to paint and write about even though I am generally a cautious person.
When on holiday I am the one who goes round the back of the hotel where the bins are and where daily life is on display rather than sticking to the aspects we are meant to see - it\'s \'round the back\' where we learn so much more in life.

Just speaking, not particularly \'spiritually\', I do tend to take the same paths, and do things \'for ever\'. Or I might have a change about every 15 years! zzzzz - boring?! lol.

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.

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

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.

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!
