It is a long way from a little island in North Sea to the British shores but I did it albeit in a circuitous route.
Much will be revealed as I go along.
I tried my hand at many things but the Arts have always been my love. From tender years books were never far from my side.
Even my den among the rocks had a bookshelf fashioned by my friend and me.
Welcome to my eclectic blog, I hope to see you around.

I notice you quote Richard Bach. “Illusions” was a fave of mine when I was young. As regards the rest of your quest to write and create, especially “Symphony” where you ask why we do what we do…There is no why, there just is. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes, from George Balanchine. “I don’t want dancers who want to dance. I want dancers who have to dance.”

Thanks for your response here and for your follow. You are most welcome.
Richard Bach’s Ilkusion and Johnathan Livingston Seagull came to mean a lot to me and are still treasured.
I really love your quote from George Balanchine and this kind of passion should be present in all creation.

Hi Miriam,
I’ve been meaning to ask you if you’d like to submit a post to be featured in my series Family Histories. As I’ve told other participants, how you choose to define “family” and “histories” is totally up to you. Also, it’s an open invitation so if you need time to think about it, that’s fine. 🙂
You can contact me if you’re interested at :morris.adrienne21@gmail.com

Thank you so much Adrienne for this honour,
Reading your posting carefully I realise I could pick just a part or events
from family and histories.
This is interesting and a number of ideas come. I will scribble them and see what becomes.
Will indeed be very happy if I can do something worth while.
