We ought to admire the world. I do daily when I go out at the break of dawn, or even slightly before, to feed the animals in front of my Toronto residence. A small patch of earth, a row of bushes and a tree, both still devoid of leaves and greenery.

I hear the birds singing and chirping and communicating in all manners of speech. Yes, it brings joy to my heart. An abundance of joy.

I do hope that your last line comes true, sooner than later. I also relate to your trumpet story, a beautiful brass instrument. For four years (1971-75), I was in the high school band. I played trombone, a large brass instrument that I had to lug to and from school every day.. The trombone was a loan. I returned it at the completion of high school.

"Life will always elude capture in straight rows of tidy text.... [Plato] suggests that writing allows human thought to become thing-like, external to Life, a manufactured product. And thereby ownable.... Remembering could be a remedy for dismembering. We might still write ourselves back into the world." For these sentences and more, I thank you, Adam!!!

Thanks Adam

Where I live in Ontario, we are now in Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDT. So would that be 4pm EDT? Also, I am not sure when the UK switch to BST happens.
