  4. Thank you for leaving the video link here in your comments Carol. I tested the video after placing it and it worked fine on Windows 7 but that’s just how the technology works…

  5. How invigorating your comment is my friend The silent ones are watching and learning, they are Islands in the stream of life. Live every moment fully. “Squeeze the nectar out of every second.” because every day above ground is a never to be repeated opportunity to have an adventure, to inspire another human being, a moment of wonder. Thank you for gracing my pages with your wisdom, Andre’

    • I am glad to be probably in the minority. There is nothing like being is silent with your own mind and thoughts. And yes to everything you said! I agree.

  6. Andre, I have always been one to prefer silence. Now I embrace it without hesitation. Sometimes I get too deep into my thoughts. But if you are aware of this, you pull back and change the environment, retrain your brain to something else. I am in this world with you. And this is one of my favorite songs. There is power in silence.
