Unbearable, this song of light
That ends the day before soft night
A gradient of blue to gold
A harmony, exquisite folds
Will live its life in seconds told
Content to live and die, this dome
This perfect bowl of evening’s home
Retains no anguish in the face
Of life as change and death as wrought
By turning Earth in solar thought
So should I rise past ego’s fear
Embracing every moment’s splendour
Content with presence, golden orb
Of Self, embarked on journey’s passing
And to this life let will Surrender

That’s quite beautiful, Steve.
I have expressed so many, needy words, I think a needy silence – from me – now speaks loudest…

It’s a quietness we all come to, I think. Still expressing the emotion, but wearing it like flower, which has grown from us, and is us, and is actually a very dynamic response of the whole…

You are so right, Steve. There can be such emotion tied in with complete silence. Bless (A poignant Spanish guitar piece is playing while I type. Appropriate!).x

Let me share that moment with you… a coffee, a sea-breeze, the thought of fish and salad for lunch… and a Spanish guitar. Heaven, Joy!

How lovely to share such moments with friends one has never met! And age is immaterial. . I’m 89….(but feel 49!) x

Sorry Steve. I meant to say ‘mentally 49.’ There is a difference… x

We should learn so much from nature… she has no emotion, anguish or ego. She quietly gets on and makes the best of things at her disposal…
