Broad shoulders
may bear many weights.
Ask Atlas.

      It's a novel (well, that's what she calls it) by Ayn Rand.

      I've just noted a typo in my previous comment - I meant 'corker OF a comment'...but now you've messed with my head Doc - What's the title of that novel - 'He Shrggged' or 'It's a corker' ? Give us a clue...

      'Tis called "Atlas Shrugged" It's a panegyric to ruthless selfishness. Rand believed that this was what made America successful and the World a Better Place.

    I love the age old image of Atlas bearing the weight of the world...this was a great place to go in words for this. I really like what you did with the image as well. Great work Jinksy and thank you for your visit! :)

    Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's book, but 'Map lass shrugged' is all yours Penny!

    Thanks for explaining the Cryptic Comments above, Mary! And if that map were really tattooed on a woman's skin, I bet she'd shrug her shoulders too! Ouch! :)

    Just shows how 'weighty' grappling with the world's problems can be! Nicely done with the image Jinsky!

    NUMBER 33

    Broad shoulders may
    a chief obey.
    But give me heart
    which beats to part!
