Μικρές ιστορίες από ταξίδια…

Όλη μου τη ζωή με θυμάμαι να ταξιδεύω. Να μαζεύω τα πράγματά μου, να φτιάχνω βαλίτσες και να ξεκινάω για νέα μέρη ή να επιστρέφω για γέμισμα μπαταριών στα παλιά· και φυσικά με κάθε είδους μεταφορικό μέσο και υπό όλες τις καιρικές συνθήκες. Σαράντα μόλις ημερών έκανα το πρώτο μου ταξίδι και από εκεί και... Continue Reading →

“Introverted Intuitives”, Carl Jung

"...The tendency to be more influenced by environmental influences or more influenced by the subjective factor. That’s all. And you see, there are people who are very well balanced and are just as much influenced from within as they are from without, or just as little. And so, with all the defined classifications,- you know-... Continue Reading →

“On the Road”

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...

Your life is your life,don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.Be on the watch.There are ways out.There is a light somewhere.It may not be much light butit beats the darkness.Be on the watch.The gods will offer you chances.Know them.Take them.You can’t beat death butyou can beat death in life, sometimes.And the more often you...

Αρχίζω με το “σ’ αγαπώ”

Αρχίζω με το ''σ'αγαπώ'' και με αυτό σκοπεύω να τελειώσω.Που λες περάσαμε πολλά.Πολλές φορές αυτή η φλόγα της καρδιάςλύγισε απ'την ορμή των γεγονότωνπου έφερναν οι άγνωστοι καινούργιοι καιροί με τα άγνωστακαινούργια αντικείμενα, συνθήματα, αισθήματα, πρόσωπα.Που λες γυρίζω πια από σπίτι σε σπίτιλίγο καπνό απ'τα περασμένα να πάρωνα φυλάξω μα όλος έχει κουρνιάσει μόνιμακαι νοτίζει το...

Ode

We are the music makers,    And we are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakers,    And sitting by desolate streams; —World-losers and world-forsakers,    On whom the pale moon gleams:Yet we are the movers and shakers    Of the world for ever, it seems.With wonderful deathless dittiesWe build up the world's great cities,    And out of a fabulous story    We fashion an empire's...
