Triumph Over Age

A   L   O   H   A  !
Great ideas come 

into the world as 

gently as doves.

Albert Camus















 There is a pleasure

in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture 

on the lonely shore,

There is society, 

where none intrudes,

By the deep Sea, 

and music in its roar:

I love not Man the 

less, but Nature more,

    Lord Byron











There are two kinds of light- 

the glow that illumines, and 

the glare that obscures.

    James Thurber
















A fool judges people 

by the presents 

they give him.

       Chinese Proverb













To keep the heart unwrinkled, 

to be hopeful, kindly, 

cheerful, reverent--that is 

to triumph over old age. 

     Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Thurber and Lord Byron sang loudest for me today.
And Pixie (of course).

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,"
Nope, they're ticks. And they can find me anywhere in the woods. There's no place for me to hide.
