We are back to the fear of the unknown. It is always the unknown that frightens us. I bet Harold was more fearful than you when he saw it coming!!

Good write G/F. A bit different angle - it\'s said that the fear of doing something can be worse than the fear we may have while actually doing it.
Erm, I was not fearful in 1066 to tell Harold to look up. Then my fear was worse after he did look up!

Good points raised about questions above me here. For me i am blessed with a faith which enables me to accept that all answers will not be available to me. There are greater things of which we have no understanding.

Perfection or not, like my own endeavors, there\'s a lot of joy in the journey. I sing because my heart does...even though it sounds like mating cats.

Great stuff and what does it matter if perfection is never obtained - its the sheer joy of it without worrying about others that counts, Keep singing G.

Point well taken in the last four lines ... food for thought! As an ex-choir member I relate to your poem and enjoyed it, Goldie.

Singing oh yes, such joy. I used to keep my voice in condition forever sucking on those foul tasting tiny liquorice and eucalyptus pellets which are marvelous for voice clarity. And whats the point of doing anything if you do not strive to do it well. To err is human. To say to your erring neighbor \'lets try that again\' is humane.

A fine write G/F. Makes sense. I suppose if all was perfect what would we do? For what would we aim?
Was you in the choir in 1066? I read that congregations didn\'t seem to sing a dicky-bird until about the 1500\'s, only the choirs!

Goldfinch60 this sort of work i love. Pure poetry and honesty of the simple day to day norm. I was there in my local coffee shop with you, seeing what i see. But it has to be worded and presented just right. You nailed it sir!

Filter coffee or French Press - the only way to get a full rounded cup of coffee. Great scribe and I\'m with you G - a coffee and watching the world go by but not Costas, Cafe Nero or Starbucks. Their coffee is all forced through a machine and loses out on the subtleties of the flavour. Also their charges are so high and service levels are nil. We have a Hotel where you can sit in comfort and someone comes over to serve you at half the price - Sorry - I could go on and on about coffee.
