Congratulations to Thomas With Rainbow Prisms of a Brown Eyed Girl

January 29 2023

I never posted these sparkly photos of my heart crystal and the gorgeous lamp that The Romano Duo gave me for Christmas, taken at the end of December.

Guess I was saving it for a celebratory Thomas post. Thomas entered a game creation contest, winning first prize! I’m having a great time supporting and watching Thomas spread his wings and soar with his heart passion. I’m incredibly excited for Thomas’s future! 🎉❤️🎉

In the car today we were listening to Thomas’s music. Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl came on. I commented I didn’t know he listened to Van Morrison. He said it reminds him of me, and he has a whole playlist of songs that reminds him of me, for when we don’t live together anymore. It’s full of songs that I’ve listened to throughout the years.

That’s the most thoughtful, beautiful thing anyone has said to me in a very long time. Thomas is just downright amazing.

That’s as sweet as Tupelo Honey,
better than all the tea in China in a brown paper bag,
rocks my gypsy soul,
and fills me with crazy love. ❤️😭❤️

This is my all time favorite Van Morrison song ….

.. and these two are also favorites …

Gets Me Down to My Gypsy Soul

March 25 2020

I was making dinner and this began to play. Had to stop and take it in … Gets me down to my gypsy soul. Every time.

We were borne before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that foghorn blows
I will be coming home
And when the foghorn blows
I want to hear it

I don’t have to fear it and I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows
I got to hear it

I don’t have to fear it and I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on, girl

Too late to stop now – Van Morrison
