However - in my ears at least! - Paul and Art have that gift of singing a sad song in a way that makes it sweet at the same time... with a kind "matter of fact" tone to it. Both on and off the internet, conversations are often left dangling, and relationships require some "efforts"...DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-35215050416935277222009-09-29T17:56:28.814+02:002009-09-29T17:56:28.814+02:00Dawn Treader...This is also one of my favorite son...Dawn Treader...This is also one of my favorite songs...although I have always seen it as quite a sad song. To me it is about two lives trying to connect but the connection just doesn't happen. That is how I felt that day in the bed and breakfast...trying to connect again but we just weren't ready yet.<br />DanDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-55022854043680399622009-08-20T13:53:23.080+02:002009-08-20T13:53:23.080+02:00Yes.

I think that quite often comments are meaningful and can beg a reply.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-85285721662369643522009-08-19T18:26:25.398+02:002009-08-19T18:26:25.398+02:00I was brought up on Simon anmd Garfunkel at Colleg...I was brought up on Simon anmd Garfunkel at College and loved this song!

I...Dr John, you're right, and yet... and yet... In the blogworld, the first superficial impression may be that people are mostly talking to themselves. One about "Emily Dickinson" and the other about "Robert Frost". Or as in Winnie-the-Pooh (my next post), one about Ambush and one about gorse-bush. And yet... And yet... There is still conversation going on, because every now and then you find yourself thinking: "Hey, I'm getting to know this person, and he/she seems to be getting to know me, too..."DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-57015063742914972772009-08-17T22:13:08.643+02:002009-08-17T22:13:08.643+02:00I suppose they both have to do with talking withou...I suppose they both have to do with talking without listening. Of People saying the same thing but it isn't really because each sees it differently. Ah! Pooh says it better.<br />But comments on a blog shouldn't expect a response. They let the writer know you stopped in and sometimes what you thought of the entry of the day. Much like a neighbor coming in for coffee. What they say is never that important but the fact they stopped in is.Dr.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752941912945095736noreply@blogger.com
