I can be there! Visualizations and color do not happen often for me. I do not consider myself very creative in regard to the arts, but with Enya’s music I am. I am there on the vessel when she sings the Oronoco Flow; I am on the vessel each time it sails ... I can now be there without her music actually playing. That is new for me. I am there in blues and greens, I actually see colors with the music, the music is color, I am not sure which. All her music is just as good, such as the one you reference. That song is also excellently done by Steve McDonald, I like Steve McDonalds best of the two. The music and the words take me to other places. “The pain of her daughters … 20,000 dead … took her own life … the Warrior Queen. Interesting, I think of “her” as a fellow warrior not as a female. Just think of the power she had riding through the heather, a sturdy brush like the desert sage in the United States southwest only shorter and much stronger, leading her warriors. <BR/><BR/>This is one of only a few groups in which I can actually be somewhere else with the music. I suggest that you look into her other works too.<BR/><BR/>Enya has many CD's, but the two titles that come to mind first are: "Enya, a day without rain" and "Enya, Amarantine".<BR/><BR/>Also try Lorna McKennett. I also enjoy Scottish/Irish ballads. I can travel with the words and music to other lands, other places, and other locations that only dwell in my own thoughts. <BR/><BR/>Also try Steve McDonald’s “Stone of Destiny”. Have a box of tissue for the second song. That second song is for all ages; not just yesterday. I know of two other CD’s of his, but Stone of Destiny is the best in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618279706018915559.post-26901694809003521712007-11-26T22:00:00.000-08:002007-11-26T22:00:00.000-08:00Hi Jordan, welcome!I've only listened to the YouTu...Hi Jordan, welcome!<BR/>I've only listened to the YouTube videos; I find her voice hauntingly beautiful! :)His Girl Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053180004186823673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618279706018915559.post-65802400041551780542007-11-25T23:29:00.000-08:002007-11-25T23:29:00.000-08:00Excellent music.

It reasonates with the soul.<BR/><BR/>What is character? Now that's a 64 million dollar question. It's a huge subject matter you are tackling there (good luck). I'm not sure I can give it justice but in a nutshell and speaking from within I would say for me, character is essentially the traits with which you are born and which you have inherited through your genes from your parents and grandparents. These I believe are what essentially make you the person you are.<BR/><BR/>I also believe character can change through life's experiences and lessons, through life choices one makes or through circumstances and situations one goes through. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes character can change for the better, sometimes for the worse. If this happens I believe it is essentially because of the character traits you have to start with.<BR/><BR/>You've certainly given me food for thought :-) <BR/><BR/>Ignore the name by the way - I'm still trying to figure out how to put my own identity back before I become really confused and go totally barking mad! <BR/><BR/>Fuchisa GirlJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370003041590474057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618279706018915559.post-77355492082816604822007-11-19T09:48:00.000-08:002007-11-19T09:48:00.000-08:00Hi all, thanks for commenting!Sorry about the loss...Hi all, thanks for commenting!<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the loss, guys.

I actually used some of these (from the hubble site) in a presentation that I gave recently - the topic was commissioning social care from the voluntary sector (you probably had to be there).<BR/><BR/>Dag Hammarskjold said : "Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions."

I've enjoyed Enya for almost 18 years after a friend introduced their music to me. These images from space are awesome indeed, and I'm reminded of a sign I've seen posted in National Parks saying "Take only photos, leave only footprints." <BR/><BR/>I wonder how much "junk" we've left out there in space and if there's any way to reclaim, reuse, and/or recycle any of it.<BR/><BR/>I applaud your efforts to seek balance in today's often crazy world ... and appreciate you sharing so generously with the rest of us. I shall give consideration to the issue of "character" that you've raised here, and perhaps return to comment if time permits. :)<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.com
