Beautiful Image and song, thank you for citation.
Glad to have the opportunity to share it with the world…
If you like this kind of melody, I also recommend this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb_XvdFS27Q The same melody is called “Sorabhanya melody” (ทำนองสรภัญญะ). It’s applied to some Buddhist prayers.
Thank you for this, a very delicate melody…
Beautiful.
I now have that song on constant loop… 🙂
I have the constant loop running in my head 🙂 It’s quite magical and melodic…
Yes, beautiful image and song. Very transporting. I forgot to say my sympathies to you and your wife.
Thanks Ellen, the photos we normally receive on the Thai social network show friends and family and the general public in shops, going to work, all wearing black or white and black, and suddenly there’s no colour in Thailand. It has quite an impact on us here in Delhi…
An inspired tribute to a man who was clearly much beloved.
This is how it is. Only now the world is beginning to recognize the value of his contribution. I watched a video yesterday of the General Assembly of the United Nations Statement on the passing away of H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand: https://youtu.be/axkXXBiNxSM
Thank you. I trust your health is stable at present.
Head pain starting to come back but broken ribs feel mended, and the weather in Delhi very pleasant at this time
Time for a new treatment for the head pain then?
I can manage with the meds until it’s time to return to BKK, 10 December and the appointment with my favourite neurologist neurosurgeon. Thanks for enquiring…
That’s good to know. I often think of you and wonder how you are. Several of my WP connects seem to be suffering poor health of one type or or other.
Alice in Wonderland. Strange things happen, beware. I never thought I’d have poor health. A few bumps and scrapes, otherwise just sailing along. Now I ‘have’ this, or it has me, till the end of my days. But never consistent; goes away then comes back again in a slightly new form. It’s never dull, no no…
Me too. Didn’t see a doctor for decades.Then one day my wife was in the kitchen and heard a loud bang from upstairs. I had blacked out. Turned out I had a meningioma. The resulting operation to remove it left some scarring of the brain with consequential periodic epileptic episodes. With medication (plus turmeric) the latter are thankfully a minor inconveniences.
I had to look up that one, Meningioma, brain tumor. The way you describe it sounds like being hit by a truck! The meds you take for that are in the same category as mine: Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic medication. For PHN sufferers it has this way of convincing the mind that there is no pain, when in fact there is. Turmeric, I didn’t know about…
