"...All that we see or seem

is but a dream within a dream”

Excerpt: A Dream Within a Dream” Edgar Allan Poe

He came with a dream

not just to make a living

but to make a life

Paternal grandfather & uncle, early 1940's

Thank you, Dziaziu,  for dreaming the dream…

Today the image took me to my paternal grandfather who immigrated from Poland in the early 1900's, and was owner & proprietor of a small grocery store in Vermont.

In Progress

old walls aged and worn,

flooring starts to crumble, as

daylight fades to eve

so much left to do,

this house, a work in progress…

where do I begin?

The Bootmaker

Bent over bench,

calloused hands from years of work;

Master at his craft.

not what he'll become
