I thought I was back finally, but the success appears to be intermittent - so fingers crossed.<br /><br />Last evening I watched a video recording my wife had made for me of Tim Marlow on the current Munch exhibition. Interestingly he spoke about this painting and noted that the clock face is blank and that Munch's eyes are closed.<br /><br />The latter doesn't show up too well in the reproduction, but interesting...Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-42385397302242600172012-07-08T16:26:49.491+01:002012-07-08T16:26:49.491+01:00I love reading your works cause I can feel the emo...I love reading your works cause I can feel the emotions your trying to impart.

I saw that final painting, too and it spooked me somehow. I don't know why, but it did. Your poem did the opposite, though. "How to stand firm in the face of the world". It's so hard sometimes. :-)<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-88327359436384872752012-07-07T13:02:26.410+01:002012-07-07T13:02:26.410+01:00I too sometimes think about when it is time to go ...I too sometimes think about when it is time to go if it is better to be alone or to have others around us. I guess it is just something we have to decide when it is time. But I am also wondering if you mean that once you lose your broadband, then one does feel alone and out of touch with everyone. I used to panic every time I was having computer issues but after I got my iPhone and was able to at least read other blogs then it was not so bad. iPhone's are great for texting a short message but writing long comments or blogs, well it sucks.<br /><br />I too hope you get your broadband back. I have heard that some libraries might have WiFi or let people use their computers.<br /><br />And I guess there are a lot of other choices as long as one has a laptop. Sending you lots of lucky wishes that it comes back soon.<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-59695774773677154152012-07-07T10:58:53.321+01:002012-07-07T10:58:53.321+01:00I will say a very heart-felt thank you to all who ...I will say a very heart-felt thank you to all who have visited and especially to those leaving comments, just in case I fail to reach everyone.
