The mirror says, 'old goat,' the heart says, 'not so fast...' Was thinking of Mr. Young's performance of "Helpless" from THE LAST WALTZ this morning. Great minds. xo
Very interesting song. Did the old goat understand your words? I will sing it to Brownie. He just wants to be stroked and talked to. Maybe he would like this song.
"Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us." Roy Adzak
"Happiness...it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort." Vincent Van Gogh
"It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility." Rachel Carson.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create." Albert Einstein
"Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul." Plato.
"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without words, And never stops at all." Emily Dickenson
I am an artist trying to make a living doing what I love.Sometimes its photography, sometimes needle felting, sometimes painting. I live on a five acre hobby farm in a rural area 45 minutes from Victoria B.C. I was a letter carrier for Canada Post for 10 years and after too many commutes and a few successful craft fairs, I decided to take the plunge and quit to pursue a life in the "starving artist" category. The holistic success has been tremendous. Living and learning along the way about myself, the world, the business of selling your wares and how it all affects you. Its all good.To have the gift of living where I live, and being able to walk amongst the trees and moss is a joy in my life.

Old goats....I'm a lot like you, I want things that don't get lost.
Songs that fit our lives, we remember them.
Thanks, for sharing.
Happy weekend. When you are retired, like me, there really are no more weeks. :-)
