Seasons In The Sun

Kian:

Goodbye to you my trusted friend

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great ¹⁾artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the ²⁾medium is the human mind and spirit.

I shall speak only of my first teacher because ³⁾in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.

I think the album, The Piano Player, is quite interesting. It’s quite ¹⁾dynamic, we have the pure classical pieces, we have pop classical pieces, we have easy listening music of pieces of ²⁾Tonci Huljic and as well we have film music, so it like music for everybody, something for everybody.

By Bertrand Russell

Three passions, simple but ¹⁾overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and ²⁾unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, in a ³⁾wayward course, over a deep ocean of ⁴⁾anguish, reaching to the very ⁵⁾verge of despair.

Dear Seth,

You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But I’ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I’ve learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years.

Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic，wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job，he received a steady stream of refusals.
Finally，a short，thin man，well past middle age，approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?”the farmer asked him.

Sound the Flute!

Now it’s mute.

Birds delight

Day and Night.

Nightingale

In the dale,

Lark in Sky

Merrily

Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year.

Little Boy

Full of joy.

Little Girl

Sweet and small.

Cock does crow,

So do you.

Merry voice,

Infant noise,

Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year.

Little Lamb,

Here I am,

Come and lick

My white neck.

There’s a spot in my heart

which no colleen may own;

There’s a depth in my soul

never sounded or known;

There’s a place in my memory

my life that you fill;

No other can take it

no one ever will;

Every sorrow or care

in the dear days gone by;

Was made bright by the light

of the smile in your eye;

Like a candle that’s set

in a window at night;

Your fond love has cheered me

and guided me right;

So who came up with the idea of honoring mothers nation-wide on the second Sunday in May?

EARLY CELEBRATIONS
Some historians claim that the predecessor of the Mother’s Day holiday was the ancient spring festival dedicated to mother goddesses. In the ancient Greek empire the spring festival honored Rhea, wife of Cronus and mother of the gods and goddesses. In Rome the most significant Mother’s Day-like festival was dedicated to the worship of Cybele, another mother goddess. Ceremonies in her honor began some 250 years before Christ was born. This Roman religious celebration, known as Hilaria, lasted for three days - from March 15 to 18!
