One of those moments

 


This afternoon on the streetcar, coming home from seeing my neurologist, I experienced the most amazing moment.

I hadn’t bothered to stream my music through my hearing aids like I nþormally do.

After receiving the news about the mass in my head and the blockage of the stent, I simply wasn’t in a ‘music’ mood.

That is, until the music found me.

Passing through Little Chinatown when this elderly, very elderly, Oriental woman shuffled on board and had a seat next to me.

We exchanged the ritual little smirk and slight nod of acknowledgement of each other’s existence.

My attention returned back to staring out the window and watching the “Sheeple” people.

All of a sudden this petite, sweet elderly woman started humming Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.

Being one of my lifetime all time favourite songs from my youth, I could not help myself and I, too, started humming along with her.

Her weathered face lit up like a Christmas tree when the man in the adjacent seat joined our duet.

AND THEN THE MOST SOUL UPLIFTING MOMENT ARRIVED!

This tiny fellow senior broke out in song!

Trust me, this beautiful soul had the voice of an Angel.

If you were to close your eyes there is no way whatsoever that you would have believed that voice was coming from her tiny frame!

No way!

Lucky for me, and all the other streetcar riders, she Blessed us by singing the complete song before reaching her stop.

Sitting here tonight and looking back at that moment left me wondering if this was coincidental or spiritual.

Remember, I had literally just left 8the neurologist after finding out I would be going in for brain surgery on January 29th.

The reason that I was not listening to music was that I was “digesting” what the surgeon had told me.

And then this very aged Oriental songbird happens to sit next to me while humming …

“Bridge Over Trouble Water”

And the troubled waters in my mind calmed to a peaceful pool of tranquility.

“THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SONGSTRESS, THANK YOU!”

(Whoever you may be.)

IS THE WORLD GOING TO ALLOW DONALD TRUMP TO LITERALLY THREATEN THE ICC – THE WORLD COURT?

  Where does the convicted felon, Pedophile President Dictator Trump, get off with threatening the International Criminal Court? If the Court bends to his demanding threat, then what does that say to every other wannabe Dictator out there? HERE IS THE ACTUAL THREAT  ….. “ If the court does not act on this U.S. demand and two others — dropping investigations of Israeli leaders over the Gaza war and formally ending an earlier probe of U.S. troops over their actions in Afghanistan — Washington may penalize more ICC officials and could sanction the court itself, the official said. “ THIS IS BLATANT POLITICAL BLACKMAIL AGAINST A COURT OF LAW ! This also shows exactly how “dangerous” Trump and his corrupt administration has become. Trump’s recent rants show that he is deranged and by being so is a danger to ALL OF US! SUCH ACTIONS AS ….. Trump  claims to be actually  talking to Jesus, (whose Father, God, apparently told him how “great” he is) His allegiance ...

Society's Like Israel Are Why I Lost My Belief In Religion

  People who “ STAND ” with society’s such as “ ISRAEL ” are why I firmly do not believe IN “ RELIGIONS “. 4200 ‘Gangs’ with 4200  ‘Ideologies’. They are nothing but “ GANGS ” and/or “ CULTS “. Take the  ‘VATICAN’  for an example.   Birth place of the  ‘MAFIA’. Or how about getting a drink of ‘ KOOLAID’  at ” JONESTOWN’? Perhaps a barbeque at  ‘WACO’?6 I hear that ‘ GAZA’  is a ‘ BOMB ‘  place. In my opinion ‘ Israel ‘ and the ‘ Israeli’  culture top the list. The most ‘ unholy ‘ of scum living in the ‘ holiest ‘ of lands. l was born and beaten an ‘ RC ‘. A ‘ Rotten Catholic ‘. (Some refer to it as  ‘ Roman Catholic’) I believe in “ FAITH “. How can you call yourself ‘ CHRISTIAN ‘ with thirty thousand slaughtered children laying at your feet? INNOCENT BABIES? Or claim that 3 year olds are terrorist operatives? So, yes, I am not a religious person. Remember Campers, there were  ‘Miracles’  happening all over the place ...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”
