To do the useful thing,
to say the courageous thing,
to contemplate the beautiful thing,
that is enough for one man’s life.

Love Tarkovsky, cinema of the soul is a true title for the video!
This prompted me to look up another film about Russia – this one is about the poet Brodsky (I didn’t know him I just enjoyed the film) Its called A Room and a Half – well worth viewing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSs3OShy9VA

Thank you and I’m with you all the way GA (I say GA because I don’t know which name to call you by. Please enlighten me.)

GA is fine. No worries. My name is Gbolabo. It may look like a tongue-twister but the moment you realize the “G” is almost entirely silent in the pronunciation, it becomes easy as pie.
