Are you awakening or resting in the twilight?

Rhapsody in Blue, by George Gershwin, is a piece that has been performed many times. This performance by the New York Philharmonic and directed by Leonard Bernstein is one of the finer arrangements.

It is unusual in that when you listen to it, you can visualize a point in time in the United States. It is the sound of a nation's emerging industry. It was composed almost 100-years-ago in 1924. It should be held as a challenge to any emerging country or even the contemporary United States. Is there music that defines the heartbeat of your nation?

Ontario, Canada, had its own music that embodied a place and time.


These were the aspirations of my youth.

Hi David, how's going? I hope you're fine 🌸

I am well. I seem to have difficulty getting motivated lately. I wish that I could say that it was because I have been outside in the sun, but it has been cold and rainy. How are things with you?

Glad to hear you're well 😊 Sometimes I have a hard time staying motivated, as well. Ah, if only you were enjoying the sunny days. Cold weather in July can negatively affect mood. I'm still alive and healthy too, I guess that's enough for me to be well right now 😅

Let's say that my motivations are in all the wrong directions. I took a picture a couple of weeks ago, and this unkempt, unshaven old man looked back at me.

The bags under my eyes have bags under them. It really is time for me to embark on a new adventure.

First of all, I think you look pretty good, except for the deep thoughts and tiredness in your eyes. When we feel bad, everything looks negative and bad, including ourselves🙄 So old age or youth, beauty or ugliness is related to our mood. When you feel good, you will say hello young handsome man to the mirror 😉

If I start saying hello, young man, to my mirror, some men wearing white jackets will come to take me away. I did take some pictures a couple of days ago to capture how green the vegetation is, and I captured the image of an old man who was at least shaved and had slicked back his hair (isn't it annoying when people refer to themselves in the third person?).

I honestly don't feel bad about myself. People want to look better because they want people to be attracted to them. In my twenties, it was important to be attractive to others. There are very few people that I care about their opinion on this planet, and you are one of them. I don't think you have seen very many pictures of me, so my appearance hasn't been critical in our relationship.

Generally speaking, I try to amuse people or defuse situations with a bit of humour. I am an INTJ, so I don't concern myself with my own emotions:

NTJs don't really care to focus on emotions as much, since they understand logic and facts much more. When they are faced with these internal and sometimes emotional struggles, they might want to find ways to rationalize them and move on.

I am more concerned about how the world is treating you.
