In life there are situations,
Situations that disturb us,
Fill our minds with troubles.
We can get over this
But we need to tame this,
Tame this in our minds.
Tame this in our unquiet minds.
We need to live in joy
And with that joy we can offer compassion,
Can offer compassion to everyone,
To every living being on this earth.
We will all then be able to live
To live in joy and harmony
With compassion for all.

A fine write Gold.
I came across 'unquietudeness' recently. Dunno if it's even a proper word. There's that hippo word. I mean 'hippo....' you know it!
Thanks Orchi.
There certainly is a word unquietude but I don't think there is one with a ..ness on the end of it.
Andy
Also - yes, it's quite psychological this. I read of: thoughts affecting our feelings, and then feelings affecting our behaviour - what we actually do.
Thanks Orchi, you have seen what I was trying to say.
Andy
Sadly it is a great human failing. History shows our inability to live in harmony as recently as today.
We should continue to aspire to harmony though.
Thank you d a, yes I would like to think that harmony is within our grasp but I can also see pigs flying!

I was listening to a barber shop choir only yesterday - they were a cut above the average.
Fine write Andy.
Thank you Michael.
Every time I went to sing in the choir I had to go and get my hair trimmed first.

We live in hope Andy
Great sentiment
Hope must always be with us Andrew. Thank you.
Andy
It's a pity I didn't see what you were trying to say to me in 1066!
My words obviously fell on deaf ears Orchi.
Andy
I wish my singing would be quiet!
Good Afternoon Uncle Andy ~ Brian here ! First day back teaching since March ~ Id almost for gotten HOW ! Finished Teaching for today so having a BREW (Earl Grey) and a peek @ MPS. Some good stuff today ! Love MALE VOICE & Barber Shop - always inspiring - thanks for sharing.
We could *Live in Harmomy* and have more compassion bearing each others burdens. We live in a ME ME ME Society. Being Married (Six months) & taking on SMOKEY (Four months) has taught me a lot about sharing & caring & *Living harmoniously* I know you will understand !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love B & A & Smokey Cat ! ! !
If only we could all live in harmony life would be wonderful.
Andy
