This is amazing. I expected good but this is amazing.

Thank you. I was working on this while waiting on the final call about my father, and I know some of that leaked into the song and video.

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your father. I think I see his character in the characters you write.

REMEMBER: Phoenixes always rise, I know we are never 100% prepared or ready for life. But the objective is heal on a continuum. Peace and prosperity. Keep fighting,& my condolences to you and your family. -BNI

I have the Washington Monument 250th anniversary on continuous replay today. Merry Christmas!

P.S. Would you be willing to sell me a print-quality image file for me to turn into a wedding present? You accidentally created a painting of the two sweethearts in one of your posts.

"The Undaunted Phoenix"

Not too shabby for a podunk country girl from around Big D.

OK I'll say this quietly, wouldn't want to swell her head. I wouldn't think it to shabby to come from a Bowie, or an Annie Lennox, or a Dylan -either of them.

Now be quiet, I'm going to bluetooth it over to the BIG SPEAKERS and listen again!

"...phoenix rising from the dumpster fire..." is solid gold and so encapsulates a modern weltanschauung. ...and then when things started moving again it lurched off the rails with a rusty screech..." When I visualize a runaway train heading toward the abyss, it's never the rusty screech of an awful derailment because my misophonia won't permit that. It's kind of a Norman Vincent Peale, or Dale Carnegie thing. Rather, it is the subsonic whoosh of the chugging locomotive plunging off the fallen bridge into the bottom of the canyon, exploding steam and fiery coal everywhere on impact. I dunno, for me a derailment is failure. A plunge followed by a fiery impact is an achievement. Just sharing a perspective.

I think I was thinking about that train having sat there for a long time, rained on, unmaintained, then forced into motion...
