Moonlight Becomes You

Frank Sinatra - Moonlight Becomes You

Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair.
Gaslight is soft and gentle, but gaslighting destroys.
Candlelight is romantic.
Chandeliers are statement pieces.

Lighting has changed drastically through the ages.
I’ve always collected lamps. However these days fittings and light bulbs either don’t fit lamps or don’t do justice to antique lamps.

I have a house full of eastern lighting and chandeliers and oil lamps.
Candles are also lit, during power outages, but also when guests arrive.

Elton John - Candle In The Wind

Atmosphere can be created with the right light.
I love modern architecture, but my house has a mill room that is three hundred years old, walls are three ft thick installing even an air conditioner this year, was a nightmare.
London has a few streets and pubs, with the original gaslights. As a child in the winter, my grandmother conned me into bedtime. I had to wait for the lamplighter to climb his ladder to light the gas lamp, then it was time for bed.

Gas light is soft, but there is a need for more functional lighting for night driving and streets.
Some of you go camping, what lighting do you use?

Ellie Goulding - Lights

There is also another meaning for gas lighting, that seems prevalent with some people these days…Politicians, difficult people, employ these tactics to control others, there are many red flags in relationships where gaslighting is subtly employed. The expression comes from a movie. Lawyers are very aware of gaslighting in courts, and relationships.
Gaslighters are subtle control freaks, it can be difficult to spot them.

The Thomas Crown Affair - The Windmills Of Your Mind

So, the theme for discussion is light, gaslight, gaslighting, moonlight, starlight, and lighting in your home.
Music, memes, and gifs should complement the theme, as well as experiences.
We also like to chat and enjoy our discussion, respect others here, stay off politics and religious comments.

Enjoy…

If Music Be The Food Of Love…Play On! Silly Love Songs And Songs About Living

Enjoy what there is to enjoy.

And Shakespeare quotes or from your favorite movies.

Silly Love songs…. McCartney

Cathy’s Clown… The Everly brothers

Let’s think about love, let’s think about living.

Play It Again, Sam…

Bob Luman… Let’s Think about Living

For Romantic movies, nothing beats the quotes from Casablanca, a wonderful movie.
I like the humor and nostalgia.

Quote…

If you see a friend doing something wrong, correct them - do not be an enabler!

Every time I read the news, it appears that many people are dysfunctional.
Let’s encourage each other and be more positive!
There is, it seems, too much violence around! Let’s not dwell on the negative.
What is Influencing so many people? Is it the movie industry? The wrong values.?

Politics we know are disruptive so let’s keep off of that subject, and corruption.
Whilst we lightly discuss religion it is only to encourage, not to pressure another to change their views!

Enjoy, chat with friends, post good music, quotes, memes.

Food Glorious Food

Do you live to eat, or eat to live?
Have you got a sweet tooth? Or do you prefer savoury?
Do you eat combination food?
Are you on a special diet?

Don McLean - American Pie

I hate fast food, even the smell of it.

How do you start your day? With cereal, toast, a fry up?

Streetband - Toast

French fries and honey, and ice cream…Not for me! Disgusting!

Arlo Guthrie - Alice’s Restaurant

Meet friends, chat, post music, memes, gifs, songs, trailers, favorite recipes. Respect all commenters.

Our World Is Our Magic

There are magic places in our world.

Does magic exist..many believe that it does.
Which magic places have you visited?
Is magic dangerous…it can be, depending on who or why someone practices.

Stonehenge…Britain

I once met Dusty Miller. His family dates back to the druids. Quite a character!
His family has made magic wands for generations.
He made wands for the film Harry Potter. He lives on a Ley line. Ley lines are drawn between ancient monuments and are said to contain pure energy, so the trees around his house are on a Ley line.

Megalithic temple Gozo, sister island of Malta.

Wales is a mystical country, and their language was used by the elves in Lord of the rings.

Once driving across the Preseli hills in Wales, a ghostly figure blocked our road. It turned out to be a white horse. It stood in the moonlight unmoving in the middle of the road for about an hour, its mane blowing in the wind. My friend got out of the car dancing with excitement. She had lived in Wales for twenty years and had never been close to the famous white horses only seen in the hills from a distance.
Wales is the land of King Arthur, Merlin and Morgan le Fey, the Queen of Witches.

Have you ever performed any rituals or spells or played music for magical purposes, eg to attract a person, for luck, or protection?

Brides wear something borrowed, something blue, and some stones are said to have different qualities, like your birthstone.
I bought a rose quartz stone Buddha in Albany and unusual stones for friends.
Do you buy beautiful stones or wear them? Gold gives protection, and is liquified light from the beginning of time. I was given a ring that I love with emeralds, sapphires and rubies. I always admired the ring, and while I was phoning at the airport my friend held my bag. When I arrived home after my flight, my friend had placed the ring in my bag. I consider it a lucky ring!

Ley lines

Sadly, Red is no longer on LFE. He chose to be with family in his final years. His LFE family will miss him.
We all have to choose if given the grace to choose, how to spend our final years. May he find peace. We all loved Red.

Post: Music, chat with friends, memes, gifs, and respect all commenters here.
Most of all enjoy!
