We meet to part and part to meet The parting’s mostly bittersweet When one is absent from our space It leaves a hole one can’t replace When loved ones are called away To new horizons and can’t stay In the familiar anymore to remain We still miss them dearly clear and plain But there can be no regrets And we will nevermore forget The blessed tie that binds us still While they seek their calling to fulfill. Whether absent from the body Or absent from this place The tie that binds us transcends time and space. The ties that bond us are the stuff of grace. I want to go there, where we shall never part A place where new beginnings find their start Where memories and sweet endings dwell Together they say “All is well!” I want to go there to those places in the heart… We meet to part and part to meet The parting’s mostly bittersweet We miss what never mattered much When one is absent from our touch But there can be no regrets And we will nevermore forget The blessed tie that ...
Before- the action was over 1/4 inch to start with... and the bridge was lifted to over 3/8 of an inch gap, over a substantial belly bulge in the lower bout. There was a bow in the neck... and the tuners were loose. The bridge plate was a little shredded... but surprisingly no braces were loose. So the bridge just popped off in my hand once the bridgepins were removed- no separation required. I made a couple of cauls (from steel electrical gangbox covers) to place on the bridgeplate and the front of the belly, which was 5/16 of an inch out of plane on each side. I moistened the spruce first then heated the cauls in boiling water to about 200 degrees before placing them inside and out- held in place by rare earth magnets- and then clamped with a damp piece of chamois under the cauls. I applied more heat to the metal cauls with an iron heated to 200 degrees. Also applied steam to the area... While that was clamped I cleaned and flattened the rosewood bridge. ...
In the third installment of the Chronicles of Narnia, we are taken up with the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This is an archetypal questing story. At the beginning of the story, the two youngest Pevensie siblings are left with obnoxious cousin Eustace Scrubb, who generally makes life for them miserable. All three children are swept away into Narnia though the portal of a painting of the venturing ship. Finding themselves adrift in an ocean, they are conveniently rescued by the crew of the Dawn Treader which is passing by. Lucy and Edmund discover that the ship is inhabited by Narnians from a few years after their last adventure, and among them is King Caspian, who is on a journey to retrieve seven lords of Narnia who were exiled during the reign of his evil uncle Miraz. One of the weaker features of the film is that we are never quite sure about the gravity of the quest, or its clear purpose. It would have been accurate to play up some of the allegory at this point, whether is be of a K...
