Beautiful sounds from Eastern Block

I remember with fondness the man who so beautifully played the Pan pipes at Waterloo Farmers Market.




In his beloved Maastricht, Holland. Huge multi purpose

Civic Square. They sing, smile, weep, embrace....remembering.



I have been there

In my bloods

The Family endured all of the place.

Working, submitting

Gazing at God’s Beauty

All around.

Now, in another

Brighter locale

Only the Good

Stands out

In me, for me.

I shall not forget.

No, never.

For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.
