It is funnyIvor, but those wirds about love arrived unbidden in my head yesterday morning, andbthen as Iwrotebthem down, thevrest ofbthe poem arrived. I DO believe that love isbthe one thing that survives all things, even the most terrible darknesses. Not necessarilymtge love of other people, forcsome are devoid ofbthat, and I have known that too. But a deep, inver something or other, that some might call God. Some might say it is a well, or an Energy. Whatever, it isbthere, andcsyrvives all things. Bthanks for your comnent Ivor xx

Honestly, (:P) I agree! I find that there a fine line between providing honest (and helpful) feedback and harsh criticism. Some people seem to use “honesty” as a guise to say hurtful things. So there is a balance. But if the foundation of the relationship is strong then honest opinions can be so refreshing.

This one was written a while ago. Thought if still fit. Do enjoy the music. The first choir is the Vocal Arts Ensemble of California. This was at the 2018 International Choir Competition and Festival in Calella, Spain. It was an unscored “friendship” concert which is why there are so many choirs. Do enjoy!
