Notes About The Poem

" LITTLE JOYS " MY PHOTO, ©

Hecatombs

The long road to happiness is paved with hecatombs of little joys!

* In ancient Greece, to thank God for a favor received, 
People sacrificed one hundred oxen, which they called Hecatomb.
Pythagoras, after discovering the Pythagorean  theorem, sacrificed 
An hecatomb  to thank God for the Inspiration.

Tom Cunningham December 23, 2019 at 10:58 AM Thankfully that is the case most of the time, occasionally we hit a low in our lives but we surface again. One only has to look at some in the world to realise that we have really nothing to be unhappy about. Tom. Demetrios Trifiatis December 24, 2019 at 5:45 AM Thank you for your friendship dearest. Tom. Let us pray we to be healthy next year as well! Blessings my friend!
