I am going to see it again, on my Birthday, at Paphos Harbour - I shall be the one wearing a brown paper bag over my head to avoid embarrassment a second time.

Why did I cry? I suppose because I find the sight and sound of opera very moving and just get involved. (Putting 'skin into the game' to use a horrible Amercan expresssion!)

I think it relieves strong emotion.

Lana, you have a heart and good taste.


There were tears in my eyes yesterday morning. Ok, I cried. I am not saying why. Too much info. :oops:

Mozart can bring tears to my heart. Not of sadness, but of yearning. Yearning for the impossibility of perfection. For a fleeting second Mozart gives me a glimpse . . .

Perhaps if stop yearning for perfection your tears will stop. Even God is not perfect. Never seek the impossible. You end up in tears.

Oh no, Deniz . .without those occasional 'glimpses' I could not BEAR the rest of it. NOT sad tears at all, tears of wonder and joy to have been that close to the sun!

Hi O. I went to your co-ordinates and ended up between Ay.yiorgi and Spilla in the Troodos mountains. I hoped it would lead me to your home address. Perhaps that is the place which is close to your heart where you met your Cypriote Mouflon? That also brings me to tears as I have never seen one. The only true Cypriots I have seen in great numbers are the ones on the Karpasia peninsula.

Two Mouflon strode by in front of our car (near those co-ordinates) last time hubby was over.

Do you want precise co-ordinates :wink: ... I do not have a GPS / Sat Nav ... and all my Navigational Maps are back in the UK!
