My favorite version of Ave Maria --

in English, sung by (the late) Burl Ives --

Lyrics, I only found out 5 mins. ago, based on

Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake --

"Safe may we sleep within thy care
Though banished, outcast and reviled
Oh Maiden hear my humble prayer
Oh Mother, hear a suppliant child --"

Something I am sure all exiles can relate to --

How to live to be over 100--on People Magazine etc. Google it.

Stay active, read, read, read, get your 2nd pacemaker--everything in moderation. The Middle Way.
