The symphony of the human spirit

You mean to say one might be a poet . . . and not know it?

Tears and Laughter all in one amazing thread! Thanks Guys!

Yes, but that laughter may belong in another thread.

To quote carbonman:

It was an incredible ride. I felt so alive and euphoric.
The sounds of our cpaptalk gathering were echoing in my head.

I stopped on the way back to watch the leaves being blown off the trees
and touching down in the creek. Their lives changed by a breath of wind,
a new journey in their lives begins.

The people at that cpap meeting are much like the leaves.
We are blown out of our pre-cpap existence into the creek.
.....and like it or not, begin a new journey.

For some time, we drift....uncertain, fearful.....alone.


For some of us, we find cpaptalk and realize that we are not alone.
.....and find a safe haven.


As I watched the leaves finding their way, alone or together,
I realized where my euphoria came from.

"How are you. Good to see you again."
"Nice to meet you."
"I'm doing well."
"This has been a pretty good week, but I still have work to do."
"Wow, how does that work?"
"Where do you get those?"
"I wonder if that would work for me."
"This was fun. Let's do it again."

Camaraderie, compassion, empathy, sharing, togetherness......

I had been listening to the symphony of the human spirit.

And I had not.

My apologies, carbonman.

Please . . . continue.

Surely you can't review Carbonman's truly astonishing and transcendental images . . .

And wish to disturb the resultant sheltering silence by asking me anything?

A whispered: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?", perhaps.

Cheers,

You are right.

I apologise for my poor taste

Attempting to make amends I offer this to complement the beautiful photographs of CarbonMan -

Barbara, Welcome! So glad you recognized some of the special talents on this forum.

Why don't you start with one question and see how it goes? C'mon, you can do it!

[Barbara I]

Thank you DoriC. I will. In another thread.
