Taken from the Turkish series Winter Sun now on NetFlix,
II loved this story so much it helped me to be thankful
at this moment in time for all those who have gone before
me and know that my life has been enriched by there
presence and it is only really until we meet again.

Love to all you my dear dn family of friends and to those
you have loved and have had to say goodbye.....

Borak, "Is that Mete? You look so happy."
Sede, "Yes, we were the happiest couple on earth."

Borak, "Where was this ? Seda , "Sile, we would often go there, when he was alive that is."

Borak to Seda,
"I know it hurts but you should count yourself lucky for having
loved someone so much."
We're all going to die someday. It's much better to love someone and lose them, than never finding someone to love.

We all have someone we can't forget, we all do.
I know it feels unbearable sometimes but what if we had
never had them at all ? Imagine what life would be like.
It would be so hard.

The love we feel for them gives our lives meaning, no
matter how much it hurts.I know it all feels too brief but
the love we feel lives on.

What we shared and felt in that short time gives life its
meaning. We'll see them in heaven. In the meantime we should be grateful."

Beauty is not all there is of poetry. It must contain the truth. It is not simply an oak, rude and grand, neither is it simply a vine. It is both. Around the oak of truth runs the vine of beauty. Robert Green Ingersoll

and joy for the whole week, God bless, dreams come true.

Hello & Hugs DN Family of Friends of Mine, Greeting from
The Sunshine State of California.......

I have a story to share , I just spoke with my sister-in-law
Elisa on Wednesday. She shared that she recently had
been to our Hollywood Bowl for the summer season.
The renowned Gustavo Dudamel conducted Giselle,
such a beautiful ballet. Two most talented dancers
of the new generation graced the stage & stole
the night with multiple standing Ovations.

Sergie Polunin of Ukrain & Natalia of Russia. Elisa raved, I immediately researched also falling in love with these two beautiful artists. So happy to share the treasure given to
me by Elisa with you....

God bless wishing you & your loved ones a most
lovely & beautiful Sunday....Thank you for your
friendship , it brings meaning me & kitties.
Always Carmen, Picasso & Pasha..........



What is the story behind Giselle?
The ballet is about a peasant girl named Giselle, who dies of a broken heart after discovering her lover is betrothed to another. The Wilis, a group of supernatural women who dance men to death, summon Giselle from her grave. They target her lover for death, but Giselle's great love frees him from their grasp.

To Hester, all the world seemed full of melody. Even the clouds in the sky sailed slowly along in time to a stately march in her brain, or danced to the tune of a merry schottische that sounded for her ears alone. And when she saw the sunset from the hill behind her home, there was always music then — low and tender if the colors were soft and pale-tinted, grand and awful if the wind blew shreds and tatters of storm-clouds across a purpling sky. ~Eleanor H. Porter, "A Delayed Heritage," 1904

De Santany� vaig partir' from the album 'Mediterraneo' by Christina Pluhar / L'Arpeggiata

L'Arpeggiata records Cavalli: l'Amore innamorato (Armonia)
https://youtu.be/lxKZxf2EoFc


In L’Amore innamorato Christina Pluhar's ensemble L'Arpeggiata and sweet-voiced sopranos Nuria Rial and Hana Blaž�kov� offer us a gem, a rarity that cleverly borrows the title of a mysterious opera by Cavalli, thought to have been lost or perhaps never premiered.


Hana Blaž�kov� (born 2 December 1980) is a Czech soprano and harpist. She is focused on Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music, appearing internationally. She has recorded as a member of the Bach Collegium Japan, among many others.

the harpist here is Sarah Louise Ridy, a baroque harpist who plays with many groups but not Omnia. The harpist from Omnia is Jenny Evans van der Harten.

https://youtu.be/uIuefNI2fOc

Let It Be My Oath

The years passed, Ah, I recognised late
I have understood that I counted the days in Vain
I gaped at the passing day
I always belonged to yesterday

My childness is scorched
My uouth is untidy
There is no benefaction from my adulthood

Life, (being) stubborn to the fate
I will live you from the beginning
Let it be my oath*

I blew, I rained
I missed (lost) the fast times
Regrets, hostilities
The complaints of my tongue doesn't end**

My childness is scorched
My uouth is untidy
There is no benefaction from my adulthood

Life, (being) stubborn to the fate
I will live you from the beginning
Let it be my oath*

Simon & Garfunkel - America LYRICS:
https://youtu.be/W773ZPJhcVw
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America"

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, "Be careful, his bow tie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America


Love Peace & Harmony Wished For Our DN Family of Friends
No Matter Which Corner Of The World Is Your Home,
Love you all to the Moon & Back.

Poem in verses by Ottavio Rinuccini:

Zephyr returns and gentle words
from fa grateful ago It is the footer he dissolves in the waves
and mormoranda among the green fronds,
makes danzar to the beautiful sound su'l meadow flowers.

Garlanded crin Phyllis and Chloris
notes tempering their care and joyous;
and by mountains and valleys and ime profond
have dealt harmony singing the caves.
Vaguer rises in the sky the dawn, e'l sun,
sheds more light d'or; the most pure silver
boasts of Teti the beautiful cerulean mantle.

Sol I, for abandoned forests and sun,
the ardor of two beautiful eyes e'l my torment,
as does my good fortune, I cry hor hor hand.



Peace, Love & Harmony For Our Dn Family of Friends,

"My Funny Valentine" feat. Sting (2005)
My Funny Valentine (Live Audio from The Wilshire Theatre) (feat. Sting)" by Chris Botti

https://youtu.be/eryKY1fhUlo

My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't, please don't change a hair for me
Not if, not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's
Every day will be, every day will be Valentine's Day
