In memory of Ennio Morricone (RIP)

One of the greatest modern day composers passed away on the 6 July 2020. One of his greatest work was the sound track of the movie 'The Mission" ( Main Theme )... or live performance  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oag1Dfa1e_E

And of course the theme of "Once upon a time in the West", which I was listening to the morning before he died !! Enjoy below !!



I woke and you were there beside me in the night you touched me and calmed my fear turned darkness into light. I woke and saw you there beside me as before my heart leapt to find you near to feel you close once more to feel your love once more. Your strength has made me strong though life tore us apart and now when the night seems long your love shines in my heart.

Giants

Cruvara, serpent with four legs. This was the lizard species, and in the time of Yi-ha they were large enough to eat twelve full-grown men at a meal. They were of a dark green color, and fifty paces in length.
35/M.51. Gaccus, a giant who contrived traps to destroy the great serpents, the Cruvaras.

Preacher

“The preacher shall dwell with the poor, taking hold with his own hands; teaching and helping; he who gives words only, and not labor, is a servant of hell. He finds honeyed words, and drawls his voice; he lives in ease and plenty; he stretches out a long face seriously; he is a hypocrite and a blasphemer against his Creator.”

Quote of the day

“BY six qualities may a fool be known: anger, without cause; speech, without profit; change, without motive; inquiry, without an object; trust in a stranger; and incapacity to discriminate between friend and foe.
Arabic.”

Soldier

It's the soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the
PRESS.
It's the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of
SPEECH.
It's the soldier, not the campus
ORGANIZER,
Who has given us the freedom to
DEMONSTRATE
It's the soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a
FAIR TRIAL.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag,
Serves under the flag
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.
-Father D. E. O'Brien

Don’t Stop Believing




Don’t Stop Believing

A community began to worry deeply about the prolonged drought which was affecting their wheat and corn crops in very obvious ways. The wheat kernels were not developing out as needed for even a minimum yield and the corn leaves were already drooping severely. The town depended heavily upon the farming potential of the area and had always been able to count on enough rain that irrigation was something they had never invested in extensively. The religious leaders of the town met and agreed to call for a combined day of prayer about rain. They asked their congregations to gather together in the one large meeting house the following day. As the anxious town people settled in their seats, the religious leaders took turns pleading the cause for rain on behalf of all present. It was a solemn setting indeed as these farmers and businessmen joined in with their own prayers and silent pleas. Imagine the joy when they suddenly heard a deep rumble of thunder, an appearance of dark clouds in the distance , and then the sound of rain on the roof. They were all overjoyed. But they were just as surprised to see that as they walked out through the rain to their cars only one person out of the entire group had brought an umbrella—a young girl whose faith had been so sure she had taken appropriate action!

My Reflection

We all hope and pray for things in our lives but do we absolutely without a shadow of doubt believe in what we are ‘hoping’ for? How much ‘doubt’ do you add to your prayers and hopes in life? A lot of things are truly possible in life and it’s the people who whole heartedly believe in themselves and their aspirations that succeed. This means that the second you bring in 'doubt', it is the first step in the wrong direction. When you truly believe in something, stick to it with full faith and with an attitude of confidence that you will succeed. It’s time to liberate yourself from the doubts in your faith and prayers. All things are possible for those who truly believe!

May you have an awesome week!

but it is belief that is the positive, it is belief
that sustains thought and holds the world together.”

To My Son

O my son! the removing of stones with a wise man is better, than the drinking of wine with a sorry man,  and pour out thy wine on the tombs of the just, and drink not with ignorant, contemptible people.

(cleave to wisdom (and not knowledge), and avoid foolishness of any form)

O my son! cleave to wise men who fear God and be like them, and go not near the ignorant, lest thou become like him and learn his ways.
