He was named after Thomas Aquinas, the Italian Philospher and Theologian whose works still permeate the contemporary world, and he is owned by the Dominican Friars, hence the choice of the name, Thomas. His journey through life has indeed been a meaningful one. You remember when they say "Music is life", right? Well, Thomas creates music! So, logical it follows that he creates life, albeit contextually. He has been instrumental in bringing happiness to people, comforting those who are in agony, causing a calm and serene atmosphere for relaxation and putting people in a reflective/prayerful mood. He has been at the forefront of prayers, at the background during occasions, has witnessed different solemnization of Holy Matrimony (Marriage) and has been used in the recording of many wonderful musical pieces. ![png_20220406_111102_0000.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ksam/23wWnH7citJqxq83kyf4FkuGNik4rHvfkh47jvUDXjhdQ3fB3qkcoq28p6MAfMwgzL527.png) ____ At 55 years, he still struggles to give his best even with his obvious pale physique and brokenness. Although broken at the moment, his legacies still endures and will continue to reign. Although broken, he still struggles to create music; to create life. Although broken, he struggles to produce a fairly decent melody accompanied with a manageable harmony. He is weak, but gives his best. He is shaky, but gives inspiration. He will be missed when he decides to breathe his last. He will be missed because of the wonderful deeds he has done. I will miss him! I will miss his company! He will remain forever in my heart. ❤ https://3speak.tv/watch?v=ksam/fmzplxyu _{My video with Thomas: An entry for Hive Open Mic Week 109} ____ ![png_20220406_111102_0000.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ksam/23wWnH7citJqxq83kyf4FkuGNik4rHvfkh47jvUDXjhdQ3fB3qkcoq28p6MAfMwgzL527.png) ____ Greetings to this wonderful community, this is my first time posting in this community.
