Music that lingers in the mind long after the performance is over.Georgette Gershwin? Rhapsody in Blue. An American in Paris. Concerto in F. Oh my goodness. Be still my heart. That kind of immortality would be ever so sweet. He died so young. What other wonders might he have produced had he lived?

And when you do you make a point of saying goodbye to each individual so you can get more atatention?I don't know why some of us so dislike attracting attention while others of us live and breate and beg and will do anything to get it. Do you? Are the attention seekers exhbitionists? Exhibiting what? Their need to be noticed? I don't get it.

I trusted some more than others and I liked some better than others but I never once thought any president of mine would work against my country and for himself. NEVER ONCE.Rolling forward every day i will be appreciative/greateful for my president. I will pay attention all the time and not live in a bubble of my own making. I will give credit where credit is due and I will criticize where criticism is justified. Voting for a person to lead your country is not the end of responsibility. It's really just the beginnin of a citizen's duty/obligation to his/her country. I have seen the light. I am made whole. less

Madding means FRENZIED.We have a madding crowd out there of sizable proportion. Will the frenzied grow in numbers or will they dwindle diminish die out figuratively? Wait and see. What other option is there?The poem is "Elegy written in a country churchyard" which I have mentioned before. My favorite line?"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air"That is not applicable to the person who lost the election or any of his supporters. They were never unseen or unheard. There are in excess of 70 MILLION of them.What they do next is anyone's guess. Madding still and forevermore? Perhaps. less
