According to Buddha
Whether we are young or old,
if people give rise to joy upon seeing us,
then this is true beauty.
but don’t confuse it with a crutch
’cause i like it a lot.
hey little one up there just playing possum,
wake up to smoke ’em from whence you got ’em.

Pictures of a road called after a railway executive in your hometown, a quote relating to joyful encounters. My literary take on this…
Where Thou art — that — is Home — by Emily Dickinson (Poem 725, number assigned by Thomas H. Johnson in his variorum edition of 1955)
lovely Urban…“Where Thou art – that – is Home.”…I love that…thank you…my home is in my body…but yes my physical space is currently her in etown…I gave it a ‘Fargo” flavor…🤓☺️ have a joyful day ~ smiles hedy
