I definitely can relate to that, as I also have to reorganize myself mentally and physically. To really think about what is important. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm so glad, Mary, that you are removing your constraints and putting yourself out there more and more. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself and this beautiful piece of music to start our long week. While the news events are serious we must remember that Plato taight us that music fills the seams of life.
P.S.Happy Mother’s Day to you and all the mom’s and aunties and everyone giving their all to help raise the next generation of good kids. It takes a village.
One of my mother's favorite sayings when she was trying to get me to slow down was, "Everything comes to she who waits." While that saying is not relevant in this day and age, it does provide the rationale for sometimes waiting to see what comes next. As you discovered by not dashing out of the theater at the end of the main performance.
ABC: “The Trump admin is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar - a gift that is to be available for use by President Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.”
Brian Tyler Cohen: "The Constitution's emoluments clause explicitly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts "from any King, Prince, or foreign State." The framers included the provision because they understood the danger of foreign influence. They knew that gifts from foreign powers could compromise the independence of American officials and undermine the national interest. Yes, Trump's willingness to accept this [plane] shows a complete disregard for these fundamental principles, but it’s also unconstitutional."
The interior of the plane is panelled in gold, like Trump's bathroom is. This doesn't make any sense, unless him using the plane as Airforce one and seamlessly afterwards means he isn't leaving office.
Remember, Airforce one is meant to be an airborne command and control center equipped with top secret military equipment to guide a war from the air. It's something meant to stay with, and to be passed between administrations rather than be kept by former presidents.
The equipment is likely so embedded in the plane, that it's removal will damage the air frame and electronics.
And, Lev Parnas has screenshots of contracts that show Pam Bondi, current head of DOJ, is a registered foreign agent in Qatar.
When I heard this I thought, who knows what has been embedded into this plane while being built or before being transferred here by a foreign government that will be used for our country's top secret meetings and other governmental business.
Yes, actions speak louder than words. Even crazy people, when they do things do them because they believe it benefits themselves. One way to drill past Donald Trump's lies is to see what is the common theme to all his actions.
And, as you said, what do the Qatar's think they will get out of it?The plane will likely be manufactured in America and Qatar is just footing the bill. They could embed stuff to spy on trump, or their motivation could be to build a relationship because they know what Trump is going to be with a high degree of certainty
It's not just the plane. When bullies KNOW they are losing, they always escalate just before their defeat.
Here's the other thing: DOGE didn't save any money. But, it DID consolidate all the government databases which store citizen records into one giant database.
This is a delightful story. I have a tendency to isolate myself when stressed, so I’m really glad you got out and had a chance to remind yourself of music, one of the joys of life. I hope you will do such things more often!
I can relate to everything you wrote about. Working to get my now healthier self back to the busy I have always been, now for the cause of our country. Amongst all the unhappiness and pain for the people in our country, I realized that I have to feed my heart with at least a bit of the stuff that makes it happy and strong. Mostly in the arts and some n the spiritual.
Hoping to be meaningful in the preserving of our democratic republic and the amazing people who thrive here.
Ok wow. I’ve never listened to music like this, but I pushed play, put my phone down and closed my eyes. It transported me somewhere else. I’m not sure where. I was observing people in a stone building having dinner. I smelled the air and it was old, like 1800s old. Was I alive observing or was I a ghost? That was trippy and a good escape. Thanks for sharing.❤️
I have reoccurring dream all my life, of a place that I must have known in a past life since I am not sure where it is. Of course now I don't sleep REM any more
How wonderful. What a great experience and a great memory.

Thanks Mary!!! Really beautiful. We should all add some classical music to our wellness every day

I was wondering if it's payback for the luxury golf resort he is building over there.
Hello Wendy... It is so Embarrassing that DJT is so easy to Buy & Manipulate...
Slimy piece of 💩
I think more geopolitical than access to a golf course. It's got to do with the Cabal, which some of the Royal Qatar family maybe part of.
Quatar gave $1.8 billion to Hamas.

Either way buying into the regime, yup.

🤨 I must have missed some content, the bottom abruptly stopped.
So, are you saying the shortest distance between two points is a chord?
Given that almost everything is circular, you have no idea how close to the truth that is

Same here. Isolate tendency too. Someone bought me a pin that says "Hermits Unite"
I do the same thing so it good to hear others do it as well. Thanks for setting such a good example.
Well deserved, Mary.
Stunning piece - thanks for sharing

Oh hell ya! Gotta do stuff that feeds the soul
What a beautiful theatre! You were so lucky to experience it first hand. Keep on keeping on ❤️
Sublime saves.
That was so beautiful - thank you for sharing.

Did you come back?
I have reoccurring dream all my life, of a place that I must have known in a past life since I am not sure where it is. Of course now I don't sleep REM any more
Unfortunately 🥴
Yeah, since November election, I'd opt out of coming back too !! 😼
