My Friends
I have heard from Ron Dubin, Bernie Kaspers and Robin Easton today. All three lifted my heart and made me appreciate what blogging has done for my mind and my soul this past year. These are real friends who I have never met and probably never will meet. (Except that Ron and I are going to go see the Nationals play in DC someday).
Each one of them means more to me than thousands of readers who just pass by and are recorded in the stats. I am not saying they are not important too. But on a day when Google tried to screw me up these three helped a lot just by being who they are.
You know what I am saying. Here is something from an email Robin wrote. I don’t think she will mind if I post it because she is planning to use it herself in a post. This is just a small part. I went into some kind of hypnotic state when I was reading it. It is so cool.
“Also remember that even if 100 million people drink and drink a LOT, surprisingly it still doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Or not killing people. LOL X million people smoke cigarettes EVERY day, some all day long, but that doesn’t mean it’s not killing people left right and center….and yet as a species we still do it. I invite you back into LIFE; you deserve LIFE. We all do. I invite you to be FULLY David. You are an amazingly talented writer…EXCELLENT….you are an incredible photographer…BEAUTIFUL art. You have years and years of your life in front of you. If you are 60, which I think you said you are….then you are only 6 years older than me. You have, if you want it, a whole new adventure in front of you. Reach out and grab it. I invite you to explore life and LIVE the dreams in your heart….that your heart is begging you to live.”
_Robin Easton
Being physically healthy is going to be so cool.
Here is something for my three blogging buddies. I hope they enjoy it. It’s a romantic song and that may not seem entirely appropriate but it’s also a song about universal love and understanding.
And it’s also very beautiful. Like so many of the things they do.
Yes I know
My love, that you and i
Are together briefly
For just a few moments
In silence
As we look out of our windows
And listen
To the sky
And to a world
Thats awakening
And the night is already far away
Already, far away
Look at this world
Spinning with us
Even in the dark
Look at this world
Spinning for us
Giving us hope and some
Sun, sun sun
My love, you are you my love
I hear your voice,
And I listen to the sea.
It sounds just like your breathing
And all the love you want to give me
This love
That is there, hidden
Hidden among the waves
All the waves in the world
Just like a boat that….
Look at this world
Spinning with us
Even in the dark
Look at this world
Spinning for us
Giving us hope,
And some sun, sun, sun,
Some sun, sun, sun.

AsianTiger01you really hit it out of the ball park when you created this video. And Andrea you are a god among men.
When I listen to this right before the chorus my soul tries to burst free. It’s a great song.

Hi David, I got up early to watch the sunrise and then decided to do some work (that is piling up sky high) and I just took a break and came here to catch up…AND I saw this piece. What an HONOR and beautiful dedication I have always loved Andrea, such a beautiful soul….and voice. I am also touched that you are open , seeking and turning “toward Life” in a time of history when so many have forgotten what it means to be fully alive, a time when so many are drowning in apathy and are turned away from Life. You will go on to inspire others who also grasp for health, vitality….and Life. You’ll see…because you will be THEIR inspiration…and on it goes one person at a time…the world changes. I am VERY VERY proud of you. Robin
Thank you Robin. You really are an inspiration. And I am glad you have been listening to Andrea. He is so cool isn’t he?
Very nice piece David. This is the first time I have heard a piece by this artist. Very awesome, fulfilling, soul lifting song when it is absorbed rather than listened to.
