The Mide Society
The Spirit placed medicine in the ground;
Let us take it.
I have the medicine in my heart;
Yes, there is much medicine you cry for
I am as strong as the bear.

Beautiful piece Sophie , i became so enchanted and inspired by your choice of music thks, have a great week xxx Paul :)))))))))))))))))
Sophie Shapiro replied
Paul, love is within each of us and we don’t need another person inorder to feel loved. There are times when the expression of love from another person is very important. My parents were great examples of the true meaning of love. They embraced everyone they met and always showed the true meaning of Lovingkindness. My mother died when I was quite young and my father never remarried, although he could have on many occasions. When I asked him why he didn’t want to marry, he always answered by stating that he had never met a woman who could take her place. Beethoven’s music was played at their wedding, so I’m very pleased that you found it enchanting and inspiring. I hope you are keeping well and wishing you a wonderful week!Thinking of you!Sx
Something To Inspire You Paul
