A Jamieson Note: The Olive tree was known for its "gentleness and mildness". Biblically, it was contrasted with the fig tree and one other tree. Judith's imaging of a world, a land, a spirit of gentleness & mildness, and a people who discover dreams can come true has Judith...'long to share sweet contentment there. Where grows the olive tree?"

A Jamieson Cue: In a bright land where grows a spirit of gentleness and mildness. With the love for adventure & the sound of a lover in love,

Jamieson

A Jamieson Smile: "A Prayer of Hope". I wrote this Prayer. It's been read by Rabbis & Priests even by Neurosurgeons. I hope you enjoy the Spirit of faith and love.

"A Prayer of Hope":

"Remember to do" not in vengeance, not in grudge but in justice & love.

"Remember to be" not in malice, not in hate neither in wrongdoing

nor in wickedness but in Spirit & truth.

So please, Dear God, Our Father, lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

With loving eyes & heart,

Jamieson (Peter)

Spurred on by seeing the Seekers on Youtube, I had the "At Home and Down Under" CD from my wife for Christmas; what a treasure trove of nostalgia and context. And wonderful music. Highly recommended!

This extract is a lovely setting for a beautiful song by an incomparable singer.

I am glad that you gave me another chance, for I have nothing but respect for Judith. She is a darling lady, then and now. That windblown look just gave us all a slightly different view of this extrememly talented songbird!

When I first read this comment, my immediate thought was - BLASPHEMY!

But after watching this clip, I take your point. The close-up from about 0:50 illustrates the point perfectly.

A natural beauty!

I know she is known for her cute bangs, but when we can see her forehead, it really opens up her sparkly eyes!  From one woman to another, the bangless look really works for her! Just sayin'!
