  Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence Whether it's through a dream, a flashback, or when words reflect something that is in my past, my life has been full of both joy and sadness... and now anger... About a week ago, I woke up from a dream of various chaotic things that had been going through my mind, based upon what has been happening... Many of them relate to women and how they have and are now being treated... It was during my mid-teens, after I had been baptized, decided the King James Version was not for me and found a Bible that is no longer in print, that I started reading the Bible regularly--it was written in "American" so I could easily understand all that I was reading. One day I did what many people, I am sure, have done before... I thought of a question--What dos my future hold?--and opened the book, expecting an answer. It actually worked......

I thought since I'm using this song as the theme for my memoir series of posts, I should provide a little background and the words... The song was written by Paul Simon of the duo Simon & Garfunkel... The most important thing I learned was that reviewers said that this song was written ahead of its time... How true that has proven to be! I hope you will spend time with me as we explore the words that Simon wrote in the last decade... Lyrics Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking...

  Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is one of all-time favorite songs... As in most times in my life, the words of a song (or a book) became most important. This one because of one word: Silence... Often, when I would start singing this song in my mind, I would substitute Silence instead of Darkness... Beginning, "Hello, Silence my old friend, I've come to talk with you again..." Darkness was just opposite of light...  but silence had meaning to me... I have always been a person who needs quiet time. In my early life, we lived in the country, where I've come back to, after spending many years living in Morgantown, WV, where I worked at the University starting right after graduating from high school... Living in a small town of New Geneva, most of our lives outside of home were in school or church, which often held social events as well as regular services. I was given piano lessons--enough to learn enough to play hymns at church, LOL... I was not destined to be...

  I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of all the crap! Lies! Hate! Prejudice! and Corruption! I'll be talking more about this on this blog! If you have the same concerns, stop by often... Suggest topics for discussions!  God Bless Gabby
