I really can't describe what a pleasant surprise this thread has been, the best of all possible worlds: having a favorite song in common AND 2 songs I've never heard before, and 2 golden (retriever) age America videos I've never seen.
And just the aesthetic alone of High Enough and Heaven (which I only watched for a few seconds each to see if I'd heard them before - because I want to give them my full undivided attention of listening and watching)...
...Amazing, the kind of songs I love listening to on repeat in many different situations: a different level of energy, completely at peace yet completely alert at the same time. |

Date: August 18th, 2022 4:15 AM Author: seedy olive location And last but not least, I'm reminded of what a wise XO poaster whose name escapes me said recently, that if people have never experienced beauty - whether in appearance or behavior or atmosphere, in some way - then it's very easy to convince us that there is no God, no ultimate source of all things bright and beautiful.
(We have the irrepressible instinct to creatively express ourselves in our daily routines, because we reflect the Mind of our Creator, Tolkien observed.) |
