love the sinner ,hate the sin,?" condem the sin not the sinner..? we are created good , but have become covered with sinfull words thoughts and deeds. we are like gemstones that have fallen into a cesspool of sin all we need is a good wash and cut and polish.

we are souls beyond gender made in good gods image , and are trying to acquire good gods likeness... in truth nobody is gay straight or any other false identity we are essentially transcendant beyond gender or worldly designations

As a professional musician who's performed Beethoven symphonies a lot over decades, I share your enthusiasm for this interpretation. Classically superb. Not idiosyncratic just to be different. An iconic performance with which to introduce the young/uninitiated to the eternal values of western civilization, music & art. Having played under Fisher (was a "guest") I can attest the musicians have great respect for him.

What are your instruments? Do you have links to your performances? I'd love to listen.

Sometimes I play my Yamaha (with a weighted keyboard, but terrible sound, but even that is an overkill for my talents), but only improvise, which turns out to be somewhere between the Impressionists and the Baroque; it allows me to let some steam out, and a few people are even interested in listening to it, although I cannot fathom, why. :) I just let the music happen and I could never play the same thing twice.

For some reason, Hungarian musicians tend to be the best of the best. As an anecdotal analogy, in Los Alamos, there were three castes of physicists: 1. physicists 2. Nobel-Prize winners 3. the laurel was given to "Hungarians," because nobody knew why the stuff they did worked, but they were ahead of the flock (deductive thinking is only characteristic of about five percent of the world's population and only the Japanese and the Hungarians are the two major ethnic groups that use(d?) it).

I'm a violinist in one of the major US orchestras. Would enjoy speaking with you, if you're willing? Just not in a public forum. Can we start with email? I assume you can see mine, as I used it to subscribe to you. Thanks and appreciation, r a

You can also respond to my notifications, but my number is 502-286-2049. "They" know it, anyway, so it doesn't matter. I also have an alternative e-mail address on Protonmail.com with the same preface. Please, inform me about your area code at least, because this number doesn't have voicemail and I usually don't answer calls from unknown sources.

Funny, weird place, this. We can see very bad, or very good.

Hmm. What will it be? Hard to do both. Although knowing some

Bad stuff, I want to agape love. Weird, but then God leads.

Fine music. Love orchestras!! Everyone plying 'their part'.

That's my wish...in life.

A good 'Christmas' or your favorite phrase, Everyone here!!

Oh, well. :)

I still insist that nMRA is only a red herring, a facade for the combination of 5G and graphene oxide. I have been receiving quite a few trolling about this, so it must be quite a bit true! :)

Cheer up Ray. History is a pattern of timeless moments, according to T.S Eliot. Once you perceive the pattern nothing comes by accident. It takes a bit of training to even begin to see it but it's worth the effort. For that purpose an all-wise creator gave us poets and poetry. It goes against our logic, it goes against our grain. It goes against everything to do with media (not only MS), soundbites and romanticized "reality". It even goes a little against Beethoven and Händel sometimes. Value the word as the breath of your maker and the beginning of wisdom. Follow the poets and thou shalt find the path back to the tree of life.

Funny, T. S. Eliot and Yeats were the subjects for my first doctoral dissertation for automatic poetry generation. :)

There are definitely several patterns.

I was shy of 18, when a "leading" journal published my "poetry." Couldn't write anything useful for the next four years! :)

You, I, and everyone else, are the poets, creating lives, wouldn't you say?

Correction: Yeats and Eliot were the subjects of my Master's Thesis. I used a Hungarian poet, Pilinszky, for the poetry generation, mostly because his text are identifiably modular.

It seems you have taken poetry into a region beyond forbidding mountains but thanks for the correction :-)

As a young person, I have had my chunk from writing "poetry," which was quite successful, but I've never considered myself a "poet." With my engineer's mind, it took me three of four years to free up for free association, but even these days, I could jot down a "poem" that would actually be worth more than nothing in less than 15 minutes. :)

Well ... in a way but it depends a little on how you view the poet.

Of old poets were the true seers or the seers of truth, which comes down to the same thing. To me the poetic vision is what counts. It uncovers what I need to know about life and makes it meaningful, burst with meaning at times. In this there is a great and pure joy. This precious faculty however requires feeding and it diets on the tree of life. So we have to make sure we do not lock ourselves out of the garden wherein a wise hand has planted us.

The stress that for two millenia has been laid on the other tree goes to show how ill-matched a pair Biblical religion and poetry really are (but that would be an entirely different subject).

God is creating You! Love the way you phrased it as work in action, we are all works in progress as far as I can tell. Our entire short life is one of continuous creation, and destruction. Goal to create clarity, elegance and beauty and destroy ego and attachment to nonsense.

Wish I were better at articulating this- must return my attention to chilly guests in the gallery 💕

God is definitely creating me. Maybe, He is lacking good taste! :)

Smearing sunshine in the cracks I like to imagine He is, with me anyway when I’m down on myself. It was pretty ingrained in me -the episcopal creed line ‘there is no Heath in us’. (Thus outside ourselves help is needed)

That’s a creed of enslavement to the organized church and a great format for acquiescing to all systems of control.

His Creation aspires to assist life force!!! And it’s pretty darn strong:)

Power is still on here, I did hear there are 1.7million w/o tonight- TN, KY, OH, and WV. Linemen not fixing due to dangerous weather. That was radio announcement on local station

Made it home! Zero out as the Subaru registered.

Nothing is true in the political theater. It's players, serving the same masters:
