When I was a wee lad and saw the film, Mary Poppins, for the first time, the song that resonated with me the most was “(Consistent is) The Life I Lead”. Still does, btw. I always saw the father as the most sympathetic character in the film. But yes, yes, yes, change is good and necessary, and all that. Great post as always, E Sum
Yes, yes, yes… Thank you, George.
Thoroughly enjoyed this post, verse, quotes and visuals. I enjoyed how you praised consistencies with words that represent change, like “Sound as shoals”. That just makes my mind happy and my heart sing to read these paradoxes. Wonderful post.
My happy mind and singing heart grok your comment, LuAnne. Thank you doesn’t say it, but you know. 🙂
