Doesn't Take a Genius

the first wheel

the other three 

was a genius. "

from the postal carrier, right]

" A mediocre idea 

that generates enthusiasm 

will go further

Option of Joy

A  L  O  H  A !

Would you rather

be happy

or be right?

“ The need to be right 

is the sign 

of a vulgar mind. "

                         Camus

“ Dip your serenity 

in serendipity 

and let the surprise 

be your prize ” 

                                  ALAgrApHY

[/\]

We can provide 

those around us

with the option of joy

when we carry 

 our own

everywhere we go.

By not relying

on the actions of

the next person we meet

to decide our mental climate,

small things lose

their stickiness

to annoy -

 we can let them 

just flow by;

Away.

Keep your humble joy

and so inflame others

without notice 

or fuss.

Thank YOU,

Friend!

Arch

A  L  O  H  A !

A Tiny Arch Through Which Triumphant Faeries Might Pass

"  If we opened our minds 

to enjoyment, 

we might find 

tranquil pleasures spread 

about us on every side. 

We might live with the angels 

that visit us on every sunbeam, 

and sit with the fairies 

who wait on every flower. "

                                  Samuel Smiles

Water  Arch

" All experience

 is an arch 

to build on. "

                      Henry Brooks Adams

                              1907

Gracious  Arch

" A landscape 

enclosed in the arch. . . 

 acquires a greater 

metaphysical value. . .

 solidified and isolated 

from the surrounding 

space. 

Architecture completes nature. "

                                          Giorgio De Chirico

                                                               1920

Mysterious  Arch

" An arch never sleeps.”

                       Indian Proverb

My  Name  Is  Arch

“Human society is like an arch, 

kept from falling 

by the mutual pressure 

of its parts”

                     Seneca

Must Be October

A  L  O  H   A !

" I've lived through 

some terrible things 

in my life, 

some of which 

actually happened. "

                            Mark Twain

Every child knows

that witches & goblins

haunt the frosty eves.

Every adult sees

the dying leaves

and feels the chill. . .

a scary month.
