Good afternoon Bentfeather,
Everyone, :-)
...today I hear different bells! *
Poe can take us for a whirl ~
I slept peaceful, and when I awkoke, I found 3 words in my mind.
~ Jerusalem of Gold ~
Forest Gump said that Life was like a box of Chocolates. We never know what next.
It`s like getting on a bus each day and sometimes life has detours. Scenery changes, and I am so happy that it does.
A quote I read by;
Shel Silverstein
"Maybe the way to make everything right is for God to reach out and just turn off the light."
Jerusalem of Gold
The olive tree that stands in silence Upon the hills of time
To hear the voices of the city as bells of evening chime
The Shofar sounding from the temple To call the world to prayer
The Shepard pauses in the valley And a peace is everywhere
Jerusalem, Jerusalem Forever young, yet forever old
My heart will sing your songs of glory
Jerusalem,Jerusalem Oh, city with a heart of gold
My heart will sing your songs of glory
Sean Pambianco (translated) from Hebrew to English
There appears to be several translations of ths song as it was written in Hebrew.
Another translation from Hebrew to English, is by;
Rabbi Jack Gabriel
I walk among your streets and houses
I feel your breath of spring (or and the smell of pine trees)
The song that cries from your stillness
no human tongue can bring
I dream a dream of holy places
within your timeless soul
I am your child across the water
I share the truth you hold
Jerusalem, made of gold
you`re made of copper burning bright
your every song makes me a singer
I need you your light
There is a fourth verse, I believe that can be found on the link that I will post at end.
Forth verse song expresses the sadness that Jerusalem was a divided city. The last line that is quoted to read.
`haloh le` chol sheerayick ani keenor.` Literally, it means "if not for all your songs, I am your violin."
It is generally understood to mean `I am an instrument/vehicle for singing your praise."

~ awkoke haha Awoke! ~
you knew that ;)
Flan how I love Flan. Now you would have to know I am trying to stay away from sweet stuff. LOL I can whip up a wonderful custard with lots of nutmeg sprinkled on the top. I am just nuts about the smell of nutmeg or any spice for that matter.
So glad you can hear the music now. The other format Sam used was called a ram file. I could here it fine, but now we can all hear the tunes Sam plays every day.:-)
I am going for an attitude adjustment to remember my first thoughts upon awaking. Won't promise anything, but I will try.
