Progress often comes to me in little steps Live to Learn. i hope that you will progress with us even though the steps at times seem to be small.
It is so nice of you to share your intmate creativity with us. Let us share together.  i want to tell you a short story. When i was younger i spent hours and hours a day practicing music. Sometimes i thought to myself: It seems that i would have more of an audience by this time.

One day while jogging i stopped in a field. There was nobody there. It was emty as far as the eye could see. But then not too far away i heard a bird singing the most wonderful tune. i thought to myself: That bird is all alone and is singing to what? It came to me that the bird sang because that was its nature. It did not really matter if there was someone there to listen or not. After that the more and more i played music the more and more i wrote i tried to do it more and more for God and not people. If people appreciated it then i would be grateful but if they did not i still always remember that bird singing one beautiful afternoon.

In Divine Friendship

I wrote this poem this morning. I know there will be somebody here who will appreciate it.
