Byron, there's an another song I will play for you, a song from 1500' Italy. It's so beautiful, one of these songs that makes your life more beautifull and soothes your soul just by listening.

[url=http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/misc/Ryckeghem/altatri.pdf]Alta Trinita beata<a> and it sounds like [url=http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/hazel/funeral/alta.html]this<a>, sung by a choir regretfully with a not so ambitious conductor. (There's not so much dynamic in it!)

Yes, I'm a sucker for these 1500' composers, I must admit!!!

Hi Byron, I wanted to post a message somewhere just for you, and the ANZAC thread isn't appropriate (out of respect for the dead).

Just wanted to let you know that I've visited Vancouver (and Victoria, and Salt Spring Island) a couple of times now, and that if I was ever to emigrate from NZ, BC would be it! :)

Hope you're having a lovely spring, please post the "today in news" info!!!

Sagan writes <B>We speak for Earth</B> Our loyalties are to the species and the planet.Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we sprang''

Albert Einstein ........ wrote the following:

a human being is a part of a whole, called by us humans as the universe .... a part limited in time and space we humans experiences our selfs , our thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind optical delusion of our consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us humans, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons nearest to us

<A><B> ............. therefore ............ </B>[/url]

[url=http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/ ] ___ our task as ___ humans ___ must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace . all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty [/url]

Byron, I've found adults who failed kindergarden common sense, let alone the Modern English.

If you can read the Bard, you're better of than any other Gringo.

That's cool, good things take time. :) :)

Agreed, and the sad thing is that we keep making new wars. [sigh]

Hey pal, don't put yourself down!!! There are way too many people prepared to do that to others, I appreciate you and like you the way you are. :) :)

> please excuse me .. and forgive me .... for some more Carl thoughts ...

I like the Carl thoughts. Actually, I think Carl was really cute. :) :)

> ... Magenta ... please excuse my grammer and spelling __ :)

I see very little problem with your words. Honestly, you are an English genius compared to quite a few university student undergraduates, where I have had the misfortune to be assigned to mark their assignments. At this stage in my life, I appreciate anyone who can string a sentence together. :) :) And you're Canadian (or, at least, living in Canada) so that gives you lots of brownie points with me. :) :)

> My very best wishes to .... Magenta

And to you too pal. So is it another 6-8 months before you can skate on the lake at Stanley Park again?

You always are Byron, always a pleasure to see you on the boards. :) :) :)

You certainly speak a second language, the language of kindness, understanding... It doesn't matter if it's written in english or french. People are so busy being unpleasant to the rest of the world that sometimes I have wondered if there were people like you left. As you can see, there's a still hope for our specie.
