Wizzo said the painting of the porcelain girl was
achorus of color, shape and symbol that contradicted
the symbolic statement of a snarky dog
carrying a sword in his mouth.
He asked, “Did the color and shape of the dark red berries
lying on the table bother you?” I said, “No, those were the only
things in the painting that I sort of liked.” Wizzo just smiled a little
and muttered something about the 12 Languages of the Mind.

Then he gave me this quote as the antidote
and said that if I spoke it out loud
I would quit feeling creeped out:
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
He was right. I asked him where that quote came from
and he said it was a paraphrasing of W. H. Murray in
The Scottish Himalaya Expedition, published in 1951,
based on a loose translation of Goethe.

Is snarky even a word?
Wizzo said it like I should
know what it means.

I’ll be back in a second.
