Steven, thank you for your wise and heartfelt response. I agree also with what you said. May those merits you speak of be a blessing to you.

Dearest Tausif. So good to hear from you. It's been ages. Thank you so much for taking the time to express your ideas and feelings on this subject. Your words are an example of true sharing, and I am certain it will be a help and blessing to those who read it. ... The idea of "not having known intimacy" relates to those who have taken the vow of chastity who have never, and will never marry. It is true that although they have never had physical intimacy, they do long for it while living in the bondage of guilt and shame since they are taught never to even think on such things lest they become impure defiling themselves with sinful thoughts. [I did not intend to include those heterosexuals who are in a chaste mindset prior to marriage. But, considering the degree of inhibition, I can now understand now why women are treated as they are in highly dogmatized communities]. ... Let me say once again that your testimony will be liberating to many. "Natural" is not an evil thing but made by God to enjoy, nurture in, and sustain his Creation. I think this is the idea that caused you and I to research Oktar. I still am uncertain if he was guilty as stated on the grounds of many of the things you have mentioned. This puts human sexuality into a completely different mindset than I had ever though within the community he was attempting to liberate. You be blessed, and please feel free to share your thoughts whenever you feel so inspired. Mashallah!! ... Jeseppi

Thank you for your sentiments. What a nice compliment. Enjoy the journey!

Love your comment Ms. Villarreal! May we both continue to grow in our self discovery, beauty and in sharing with authenticity, grace and joy.

Thank you for your comment. Perhaps your beautiful name explains why.

Obrigado pelo seu comentário. Sim, é uma cultura adorável.

Thank you, I feel the same way.

Hello Leandro, Very touched and honored by your comment. I will be sure to visit your page more often to enjoy the inspiration of the Muses flowing through your wonderful music.

@@Jeseppi-Lyre Thanks for listening to my attempts at playing the lyre too. It's a beautiful instrument. I was very pleased to come across your channel as we still need more lyre music in this world. I gather from one of your pictures that you have a similar lyre to mine from Luthieros. Mine is called the Lyre of Hermes, which one is yours?

Hi, thanks for sharing... The lyre, I feel, is quite a personal instrument. I think it is a way of discovering oneself. I cannot say if there is a right or wrong way to play it. It is a way of exploring your world of feelings, moods, ideas and nuances. I made my lyre from materials I gathered. Although it is in the Hermes style it is quite a unique custom style as you may notice in the non symmetrical shape of the horns. The strings are three different size cat gut. I enjoy listening to your journey on the lyre because it communicates your passion for the instrument. ... Since you mentioned about nature, I did one with the sounds of sheep bleeting in the background. Let me know if this inspires you. ua-cam.com/video/IjeAIJOlFvQ/v-deo.html @@leandroscorieltauvorum

And, thank you for visiting and your gracious comment.

Στα αληθεια. Σας ευχαριστούμε για το σχόλιό σας.

Yeah, really. If you really want to ... believe you can and enjoy the journey of progressing. It doesn't happen quickly but it happens, trust me. ... I went from being a frustrated painter to some success after studying David A. Leffel's, "Oil Painting Secrets from a Master: Prominent Artist Oil Painting Secrets from a Master". I was just about to give up. This book worked for me. You can get a used copy from eBay for under $10.

Thank you for your comment, Mitrikoudsi! And, God bless you!

It was composed and performed live for this recording on the 9th of this month. Thanks for your interest in lyre music and my channel.

@@Jeseppi-Lyre So it's not a Greek composition at all ? Do the compositions of this period resemble this piece ?

You can trust the sound is similar. And that goes for most lyres built after the ancient tradition. But, as far as the music melodies and notation, that is reserved for the scholars of ancient music. There are a few like Levy, for instance. My sense is that if the tuning is in the Dorian or Myxolidian there is a strong possibility that some melodies may emerge that might resemble. But we have no way of knowing for sure. @@fideIion

@@Jeseppi-Lyre thanks !

Its written in the video description above: Bruno Vepkhvadze, also with links.

The painter is Bruno Vepkhvadze. Links to his work is listed in the description. Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for your comment, Questor. It gets better ... keep listening.

Sure is. It is restricted for minors under the age of 18. 93% of the hits are coming from You Tube's recommendations.

@Jeseppi-Lyre That's good, just don't want you to get in trouble mate

Thank you for your comment, Lolilou ... I admire this artist and his work. Links to his galleries listed in the description. Peace and Love.

Κυρία Πλατί, η προσπάθειά μου έγινε αβίαστη. Σας ευχαριστούμε που το προσέξατε.

Thank you, Poetharpist, for your interest and support of my music. May inspiration and joy flow through you to bless and enrich your life.

Thank you, Poetharpist. I made my lyre this Summer. Visit Luthieros.They are a progressive company in Greece that make them. They have some wonderful lyres priced reasonably to high end. Looks like their workmanship is quite good. They ship internationally for $125. ... Their UA-cam channel is called, SEIKILO. I'm sure you've seen it. Theo Koumartziz is one of their virtuosos who appears often in ensemble with others. I enjoy his work. ... Be well.

@@Jeseppi-Lyre thank you! I just asked because it seems you have a babitone one? I already have a lyre made in italy, by francesco landucci, you can see it on my channel, its pretty unique in that it has high strings, and the bass strings are thicker wich gives a bass sound like from a barbitone lyre... i like it ! But its still alot different than playing harp..it needs some time till im fully used to it😊 thank you! Did you builded it completly yourself? It sounds awesome! I already thought getting the barbitone from lutherios, but will see😊 happy weekend ! Thank you

Thank you, Poetharpist. ... Today the inspiration came to begin a new series of improvs which I think will have the same name as this initial song.

Thank you, Poetharpist. I am happy you resonate so deeply with this song. In the words of Keith Jarrett, "I do believe in the Creator, and so in reality this is His album through me to you, with as little in between as possible on this media-conscious earth."

Thanks for the visit.

Thank you, Chris. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Lisa. I feel the same about your music. Whatever you do comes straight from the heart.

Sweet words. Thank you, Lisa.

"Good things come to those who wait". May your special lyre come to you bringing joy and inspiration."

Thank you, for the lovely bouquet.
