"Harmony" .....

Harmony, according to the Oxford English Dictionary = "Agreement, sweet or melodious sound".....Oh that there could be more harmony in the wide world, combined with kindness and compassion. There probably, hopefully is, more than we realise, since none of these elements rarely make the headlines.....Thankfully I am blessed with very special loving friends and family, always have been - what a gift.... The relevence of harmony was brought to mind succinctly by Mariella (Karle), a talented young Swedish soprano whom Anna L. and I are encouraging to develop her potential. In a e mail (and I have her permission to quote from it - such trust...!) she wrote " My Sister lives next door, and this weekend her parents-in-law are here to visit. I can hear them playing string quartets through the wall, what a nice thing to do on a Friday evening ! Not many people would do such a thing these days. Making music brings harmony , don't you think ?!" Yes, I do think so - Such wisdom in one so young... there's hope for 'civilisation' yet....Now to finish my packing - I'm almost ready to join in harmonious pastimes and performances with many of my beautiful breathers in Stockholm ... see you all sooooonn - as we say here "put the kettle on"...ooooh, my taste buds are tingling for my favourite fishy food favourites - bockling, lax fina, krafte, Liz-Marie's hand made tunn brod - and La La Larsson special kottbulle .. and so much more - mmmmmmmmm ! 'I want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony' - let's do it soooooon....'til then, k..p b.......g
