About to close the book on 2013. In the Hebrew calendar the year is really marked as a book… Everyone hopes to be inscribed in the ‘book of life’. I hope that you and your families are inscribed in the book of life, in the book of love, in the book of neat socks drawers or the book of whatever matters to you.
I’m feeling strangely sane right now… Which is a good sign even for me. I’m feeling pretty solid and looking forward to the new year.
All three boys are out of the house. Max in Brooklyn. Gave out on the town and Sam… Of course is in our hearts.
This time year always brings back memories and it is my tradition to listen to more traditional version of Robert Burns Auld Lang Syne (click here to hear it) ) it’s supposed to to be closer to Burns original melody. I am holding a samstone And listening to it now
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
on Old long syne.
- CHORUS:
-
On Old long syne my Jo,
in Old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
on Old long syne.
when thee I think upon;
All Grief and Sorrow takes the flight,
and speedily is gone;
The bright resemblance of thy Face,
so fills this, Heart of mine;
That Force nor Fate can me displease,
for Old long syne.
- CHORUS:
when from thee I am gone;
will not thy presence yield relief,
to this sad Heart of mine:
Why doth thy presence me defeat,
with excellence divine?
Especially when I reflect
on Old long syne
Its actaually about how love banishes grief… I
L take that..
All the best for the new year all..!
Nite all, nite sam
