Tracker Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As as a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery out in the middle of the country. I was not familiar with the backwoods so I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions and I finally arrived an hour late and saw the preacher had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years." Apparently, I'm still lost....it's a man thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much intelligence, common sense and humour on this forum and in this Great country of ours it is such a shame when political correctness, egotism, selfishness and plain bloody mindedness are allowed to take over to distort reality. Is it any better in the land of Oz I wonder or are the loonies running the asylum there too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
