Blacksmith

“ARMOR, n. The kind of clothing worn by a man whose tailor is a blacksmith.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil’s Dictionary

I walked around the Dallas Heritage Village during the Jazz Age Sunday Social. I always like seeing the blacksmith shop. It was the same, with the same blacksmith as it was when I saw it almost two years ago.

I never have taken lessons there like I wanted to. Something I need to think about. Looks like fun.

In this world a man must either be anvil or hammer.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Emily Dickinson

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
Abraham Maslow

  2. A hammer is always flying off the handle, the the anvil is steadfast. I admire the anvil and relate to the hammer.
