The Jewel Is In The Lotus
Om Mani Padme Hum @mdgsolo
At a time when I've lost everyone in my life except my parents and Ten Club, because of the accident, or, because maybe I'm a shitty person and karma is now revealing that to me...... I dunno..... I just wanted to say here, on The Porch, how much @mdgsolo gesture of kindness means to me. Ears are overwhelmed with joy! So much better than living in silence, or worse, watching reruns of old spaghetti-Westerns on local-access cable. I hope Karma returns grace upon you! Really enjoying, thus far!
It's often times difficult to scribe feelings of gratitude into tangible and meaningful compositions, without lament. So, rather than express 1000 words in order to lure or mislead your imagination; I'll just leave pictures and music to express "a thousand words of appreciation." Thank you, Matt.
