I don't want to appear maudlin ( English north country slang) but I found the following vignette of a video on good old YouTube.
It's incredibly well done, beautifully filmed and I think you will like all the man's heart felt words and the music:
I hope a book publisher asks this lovely man to write a book for him. I would love to read it wouldn't you?
Or perhaps a television programme meeting every day people like you or me? We all have a story to tell.
Yes, a truly lovely man telling the story of life as it is. People are very unwilling to stretch out to each other, always have been, nothing changes, but seeing stories like the gravedigger at least makes me feel I am not alone in this world and deep down others think the same. Thanks Dave.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you Rachel. The first verse of thepoem Leisure by William Henry Davies comes to mind:
ReplyDeleteWhat is this life if, full of care,
We have time to stand and stare.
What a sweet man, and a video that must resonate with so many of us.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Dave x
Yes JayCee. Better than anything on television. A lovely heart felt video.
ReplyDeleteDave that is sad and lovely in equal measures, hubby's mum died when he was 11, he does not often speak of his loss. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes Marlene it is sad and lovely. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this video Dave. Stephen O'Connor has a lovely face that reveals his honesty, his compassion and his poet's soul. I hope he enjoys a long and healthy retirement.
ReplyDeleteI echo your sentiments YP.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That is the most beautiful video
