According to Buddha
You have to go through the darkness to truly know the light. This may sound like a cliche, but it’s true nonetheless. Often the greatest doubts occur just before a breakthrough.
le soir ma mère nous chantait quand j’étais enfant
l’histoire d’un bateau perdu et d’un oiseau blanc
un jour le bateau s’en va droit vers l’océan
et seule, le cœur plein d’amour, une fille attend

Edmonton Opéra tour ~Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium ~ April 2019
I grew up with Nana Mouskouris voice, my big sister was a fan of hers in those days. And funny enough, only a couple of weeks ago I woke up with a famous song of hers (after decades of not hearing her) in mind, cheerfully greeting the day: https://youtu.be/eOvibLXJxQ8 … some revivals are … well, they simply are :o) … have a wonderful day!
well Silvia I also had those memories as a girl my mother and father loved Mouskouris voice…and my sister and I knew all of her songs too…whenever I see or hear her voice good feelings emerge for me…good morning and compose a joyful day ☺️💫 smiles hedy 😄
Connections and bonds like that make this world such a li(o) vable place! 🙏❤️☮️
yes I agree…and we’re more connected than we know 🤓❤️✌️
So true :o) !
I love this idea – and just saw it on another blog – about the dark times lead to the good and help us embrace the light- and wonderful photos
thank you kindly Prior…I like to know that the collective ‘we’ can send out these thoughts and wishes…compose a bright day ~ smiles hedy ☺️🌞

Welcome and thanks!
brilliant photos (as always). Also what a great song by Nana. I first heard of her in college from a greek friend back in the late 80’s. Wonderful memories. Cheers.
I think her voice resonates/ed for many of us…so beautiful to hear songs in other languages…I also would love to visit Greece…thanks kindly for your comments Mobius sending you creative vibes for another productive week ~ smiles hedy 🤓☺️💫

The intensity of light will be proportional to the depth of darkness, right?
I will be dazzled. 😉
Now, Nana Mouskouri?
That is from old times…
(Such a voice!)
May the light be with you.
sending you light and all good things…for you and your daughter too…yes Nana always makes me re-remember my girlhood and my parents love of her work…I went to a few concerts with my father way back in the days…such a sweet memory for me ☺️💫
Nana live? Wow. Precious memories.
Yes I went to many live performances with my father Neil diamond is also one ☺️💫
How lovely that you should have gone to many concerts with your father. Every other song you hear might remind you of him… 🙂
I have so many 🤗 I’m am grateful ❤️
wonderful details of a nightwalk (was this your night walk?). It’s like I get pulled into this series of photos and see all the things with your eyes and just follow your stroll.
no this was inside the auditorium for an opera company…my night walk was fun..but nothing amounted from my shots…it was a large group…I still prefer to shoot alone…or with one other person…I’m not such a groupie person 🤓🙃☺️ but of course your idea still lingers in my hedy head 😄 smiles 🙂
