Like "The Chambered Nautilus"

. . . Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from Heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
1809-1894

It looks as if a lot of people read my blog. Want to thank all readers, even though you don't often post comments. Sorry if anyone gets offended by my occasional "outbursts." Y'all come back.

Went to the pharmacy, and coming back I saw a one-legged crow in the road. That ought to be a song.

One-legged crow, hopping like a fool;
Two boys fishing in a swimming pool...

Only it was a man and a little boy fishing in the "creek" at the park.
