Your films are so evocative. You find a perfect blending of words and images..and then you find exquisite music to round it all off. A joy to watch

[gugulia]

wonderful words to read, thank you so much andrew

[dsanw]

Great images from the ancient Greece, the Zen-music fits them very well. Beautiful "Phraxos" poem, thank-you to you both for this beautiful video. Best wishes from Austria, Uli

[gugulia]

thank you princessa *

[idasputem]

It was her!

Lovely to see these shots of Isadora Duncan,

Thanks for telling me.

Love, Ida :-)

[gugulia]

have you seen the film with vanessa redgrave 'isadora'?...

[idasputem]

YES!- great film.

But it was Isadora's Auto-biography that amazed me!

Obviously she doesn't QUITE get to finish writing it - but her sudden death, strangled by a scarf wrapped around the wheels of a sports car seems to FIT with her stunning life.

[gugulia]

very interesting book 'my life'... she personally knew almost all who 'counted' in her lifetime in europe at least. and redgrave did the part exceptionally well.

[idasputem]

yes! she was with Heads of State, royalty , Cultural icons - a truly stunning read, Isadoras mother was SO PROGRESSIVE back then in allowing her daughter to choose her way AND support her dreams!

I LOVE Isadoras take on marriage as she observed her worlds when growing up.

[gugulia]

don,t know how progressive she was but surely loved her daughter and didn,t want to break her wings. probably fought herself in this case, result was unique though. marriage - not a bad institution for those born for each other, no?

[idasputem]

Isadora agreed with your sentiments on marriage - she didnt mind Russian style officialdom in marriage - where you just sign and if you dont get on, you just UNsign. She had a Russian marriage.

TRUE LOVE is beyond papers really though papers so its the same with or without.

Personally, i have silly phobias re: paperwork and find it it upsetting - but i love a good celebration

[gugulia]

not russian, rather new, soviet style marriage, i guess. let,s hope it exists with papers too. they loved and burnt each other... remember the sequence when isadora is learning russian? teacher, an old, shy woman explaining 'this pencil is red, that pencil is blue'... then she stops her and asks: tell me how to say in russian 'i love your thighs'...;)) and yes, good celebration is so very important, a good one, not necessarily a pompous one, right?

[idasputem]

In the book, I think she likes Soviet style as the paperwork is uncomplicated , easy to leave behind.

As a GRANDIOSO POMPOSO i think if everyone loves madness they should have madness at their celebration. Just be truly happy -

[CherrisVids]

[SunShineBubs]

Why are ratings disabled ? You must have a special reason, maybe I should not ask so dont worry x♥x

[gugulia]

there,s a reason to it, yes. namely when rating is misused. text comments give much more, don,t they...

[SunShineBubs]

Hi gugila

Yes, you are right: Sad that ratings have to be interfered with, some just dont understand that a lot goes into the most intelligent videos. Thank you for your reply. Bubs.

[gugulia]

my pleasure bubs, thanks, gugulia

[SunShineBubs]

I was memorized by the music; love the sculptures. I had to look into synonyms for a couple of words in side bar. Not you fault my lack of use with the dictionary; all in all Wonderful! 5 ***** Beautiful vision be yours! Bubs Hugs for you Dear Friend!
