the dissimilar."

and your heart at peace.

Light in October

A  L  O  H  A !
“October had tremendous possibility. 
The summer's oppressive heat 
was a distant memory, and 
the golden leaves promised a 
world full of beautiful adventures. 
They made me believe in miracles.”

“There is something in October 
sets the gypsy blood astir: 
We must rise and follow her, 
When from every hill of flame 
She calls, and calls each 
vagabond by name.” 
                    William Bliss















“To hope and dream is not 
to ignore the practical. 
It is to dress it in 
colors and rainbows.”
