Understanding (and wisdom) is the best thing in the world

Something that's sadly lacking with some here.

Listen to a blind man (a legend) words

 Ray Charles .legend that dude  alrighty .

 A heroin addict, who was in and  out of rehab. A great singer, but his words were hardly his words. For heaven sake Chabal snap out of this sentimental claptrap.

Sorry to touch a nerve centre.

So Moz are you big tough and macho or does this make some sense (if you are really honest)

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines

 

Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood
Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates
Free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards
Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear
I've been too long on these islands
I've been far too long alone
I've been too long without summer
In this winter home
Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines

 

Take a trip to beautiful island, smell the roses, take your missus dancing...a rare thing in Chicago according to Sinatra,come to Cape in Christmas, see your old friends, go fishing at Baileys Cottage with rooiaas


   

 Sebastian sorry .....you are a nice fellow, and I have no quarrel with you. As for dining alone... with 4 grand kids within cycling distance, an artist wife with a bunch of like minded friends and my golf buddies, sometimes it would be a relief to dine alone. 
And the Galjoen, sadly, have left Bailey's.  Sometimes I wonder if there are any fish other than Great Whites in False Bay.
