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. "

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.”

My  Name  Is  Arch

“Human society is like an arch, 

kept from falling 

by the mutual pressure 

of its parts”

Must Be October

some terrible things 

in my life, 

some of which 

actually happened. "

Every child knows

that witches & goblins

haunt the frosty eves.

Every adult sees

the dying leaves

and feels the chill. . .

I Love October!

Our blog-0-sphere

is rich with color

and visits,

animals &

children returning

to school.

Even if we do not

especially

go out to meet it

Autumn finds us

Northerners.

I love sharing it

with YOU!

Keep those posts

And you of the 

Southern Climes

alive in our hearts

with YOUR gems too.

I'll be here

A Serious Working Fence

over the back fence, 
but doesn't climb over it. "

before and after, 
never during. 
The secret is 
to take your time. . .
 Then, however, 
you must 
be very quick. "
