Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Today whilst some scribblers were casting endearments at one another across thousands of miles, I was trying to post a utube video in a futile effort to bring peace and harmony to all men and women, praise the Lord!
“Everything is beautiful
In its' own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful
In their own way
Under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way”
Is everything beautiful in it’s own way?
Some will remember Ray Stevens singing that song way back in 1970’s. Actually I was singing it as I tried again to post that same utube video here, Phyllis was smiling over to me as she arranged some flowers in a vase, her long auburn hair cascading down her shoulders as she placed each bloom where she deemed fit, when she’d finished she had one rose left over, “Where do you suggest I stick this”? she asked. I took it from her tiny hand and gently placed it in her hair, kissed her on the cheek and said “Beauty belong to beauty, my dear. All together now… How sweet, ahhhh. Might try me hand at romantic novels, whatcha say Gummy, watch out for Jem Cartwell.
I was still trying the square brackets, dots, slashes and what have have you and It wasn’t long before I changed my mind and altered the words to “Everything is useless in it’s own way”. Feeling frustrated and annoyed I went outside to the garden, kicking the little concrete gnome in the head on the way to the workshop.
Strangely enough, everytime we buy something new it’s always beautiful, say a car, a TV, a new smart phone etc., then one gets fed up with it or it starts to give trouble and it becomes a useless piece of junk and the but end of very abusive language.
Except of course a work of art, a painting, sculpture, good jewellery, or a well worked precious stone, yes the De Beers brothers got it right when they said a diamond is forever, beautiful forever too.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you came back as a flawless diamond, sought after and worshiped by all, and safe in the knowledge that you are the toughest thing on Earth.
I must go now, the wife has just asked me out for a few pints, her treat, see it pays to be nice.
