Isn't life so often missing the very essence of what it is to be... of what it really is to be? I thought of Faure today because, maybe, it was a long time ago and I forget, I had gone years ago by train to Aix-les-Bains to visit the Faure museum. I saw a white nude girl statue with lowered head in the hallway. It summed up how I felt, so alone, and yet, at peace with herself. It is a deep blue sky today outside. Very sunny. Very beautiful. Very tranquil. The birds woke me with such beautiful and gentle singing this morning. I was determined to go out and breathe. I did and was greatly rewarded by God's nature, whispering, hinting, disappearing and when I thought the chorus was over, a little bird stood on a single branch, just looking at me. For a long time. C.B.

It was lovely to hear from you again dear C.B. I was hoping you would leave me a message! I have missed you. Did you read all of the messages I have left you on my previous post? I hope you are well and not lonely? Life to me seems pointless sometimes, a repetitious, monotonous routine...yet I still find something in each day for which I am thankful...and I am always grateful for your messages. How lovely for you to wake up to the songs of birds and a beautiful sunny day. How sweet to have the little bird sit on the branch and look at you. I remember the bird feeder/table which you built to attract birds to your garden, such a long time ago. Do you still have your pretty garden? I love the morning chorus as the birds awake and set about their day.
Thank you for the link, I have Faure's Requiem on a CD, it is beautiful, such amazing voices!
'Broken Flowers', I had not heard of this film, perhaps a good title and inspiration for a poem or perhaps not.
Thank you also for the image of the statue of the nude white lady and the beautiful painting of the nude lady behind it! I remember when you went to Aix-les-Bains and visited the Faure museum, you posted a similar photo you had taken on your blog.
That statue is the one I was referring to when I posted the nude statue and poem on my blog last year.
The cold evening air is creeping in here. I hope you awake to another wonderful morning with a deep blue sky!
Take care dear one, much love, Dianne xoxo
