What's at the end of the alley

Walking in the city street, you may face some amazing discoveries, in a very small street, in a cul de sac in the heart of the city, here's one:

Poem: If I should die beneath the sea

If I should die beneath the sea --
What e'er the circumstance may be --
I only ask that you not cry
For such a lucky one as I.

But, rather, weep for those alive
Who know not what it is to dive
Into the planet's liquid heart
And of God's ocean be a part.

For even Christ must envy all
Who stroll along the ocean's wall;
Though wind and sea His will obeys,
He only walked upon the waves.

And may I ask for one thing more?
A simple cross beside the shore.
Below my name inscribe for me:
Lost to the earth, but found at sea.

Carson Ray... 1989

Evrything is amazing... and nobody's happy

Materialistic 5 things

...which makes me happy:
- my white MacBook, for my digital living.
- my camera (Canon EOS).
- my notebooks, all kinds:
from my work one A4, black cover
to the Moleskine Weekly Notebook (discovered it this year, I've finally found the perfect organizer )
not forgetting the small pocket one ( a clairefontaine ... like in School ) I carry all the time.
- a Bic Cristal pen, indispensable accessory to the previous items. I like its simplicity and robustness, probably the best pen Bis ever design even if it was almost 60 years ago (1950).
- a medal I've got since my early childhood.

And you, what day to day objects makes you happy ?

I've stolen that 5 things idea from Fabienne.

If I was a fruit, I'd be a banana.
If I was a factory, I'd be a nuclear reactor.
If I was a city, I'd be Montreal.
If I was an animal, I'd be an otter, in the water craking nuts on my belly.
If I was an element, I'd be water.
If I was a building, I'd be a lighthouse.
If I was a color, I'd be blue.
If I was a vehicle, I'd be a citroen DS.
If I was an art object, I'd be Nighthawks by Edward Hopper.
If I was a smell, I'd be a salty marine breeze.
If I was a period in History, I'd be the Antique Greece.
If I was a sound, I'd be a whale song.

And what about you ?
