Waiting For The News To Come

That's where I found it, via trusty Google!

Re: Waiting For The News To Come
I didn't even have to return to the previous page, since I saw you'd already confirmed that Bev's guess was correct... and I remembered that Andrew mentioned that.
A shame about the lost in translation phenomenon with Russian, but at least some of it has to come through well. What an undertaking! And it's still Leonard!
G'nite all. It's past 3 AM, and I'm not looking for 4.

That's it!
Although, personally I'm even more amused and pleased by the fact that both Simmons' and Kubernik's books are published in Russian (the later even in two versions, colourful-expensive and unillustrated-cheap).
Good night then!
Just a brief addition to "share your window view" idea: it's not original at all, a friend has shared with me this link: https://window-swap.com/
I found this extremely interesting (and zeitgeistish)

Re: Waiting For The News To Come
Hey you guys, as Lizzy and Roman have said, it’s interesting how the universe sends you off in a certain direction! By your actions I was guided to re-read my posts in the Cairns thread and Allan’s re-introduction of it on his new site. Such laughter and wonderful memories I shall treasure forever! While I was at Allan’s site I noticed a post on LC reciting a verse from Eternity by William Blake. You could say it’s somewhat relevant to our thread here and also a way to live your life in general. It also reminds me very much of Leonard.
“He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity’s sunrise”
And Roman, next time I see from my place the sea eagles gliding on high I’ll take a photo for you. Seems I’ve flown seamlessly from hummingbird to eagle. From fastest wing to flutterless flight
EDIT: I've just realised that this was my 6666 post....not sure what that really means

Re: Waiting For The News To Come
Such a poetic, final paragraph, Bev. Very in keeping with that insightful and beautiful verse.

Re: Waiting For The News To Come
The clues are there for all to see.
Jarkko's humming bird just provides confirmation.
"No words this time" were of course the opening line of "Morning glory" from 2004.
There would have been no words, had Leonard's record company not pointed out his contactual obligation to provide lyrics.
In Leonard's NPR interview in June 2006 he was asked, "How do you see the interplay between words and music developing in the future?"
Leonard's answer was quite revealing..
"hmmm....."
So what to conclude from these clues?
The working title "Leonard hums and strums" will certainly never see the light of day.
I am just waiting patiently to see what it will be called.

Long and eager

For an eagle

Dreamers' kites
and clues' chemtrails
This reminds
of good old days

I'm guessing that this might be a Leonard 'karaoke' dream, with a full orchestral soundtrack!

Re: Waiting For The News To Come
i had not been around here for a while, so it's nice to see so many of the "old" members getting excited again, without really knowing what is going to happen, what kind of flower is giving food to the bird, before the first of august
... precisely ...
Re: Waiting For The News To Come
