πατέρας της Λακεδαίμονος.

Μου περιπλανηθεί στον κόσμο μέχρι εκείνη την ημέρα, όταν νόμοι μου πρέπει να αποκατασταθούν.

Η παρούσα διαταραχή δεν θα είναι της τάξης του μέλλοντος. Εξελίσσονται ή εξαφανίζονται.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

No one ca be more advanced than another, along the line of a circle...
Or a spiral,
So go within or go without.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.

You need not go through hell to live in heaven.

Know yourself & you shall know god.

Λακεδαίμων... Εμείς ασπίδα αδελφοί μας, Ελευθερία ή θάνατος. Ekdromoi. Pa Taal.

Currently riding a classic Ducati 916 with a ton of mods. Have to ride carefully these days after being blinded in my left eye in 2006, hence the patch. Don't know how to begin to explain what I can see now. Only a man called Stuart Swerdlow seems to share the sights I know & he was blind for many years. I blame the little Heracles within me, Hellequin. A remnant perhaps from my grandfather who also had only one eye.

I'm learning to surf & I play far too many video games. I have a son who I don't get to see much of because his mother wants him to grow up without knowing me for her own bizarre reasons.

Apologies to F Xavier. I do not intend to abandon you again.

I pray that my son & I have our time together soon. Soul, I love you no matter who or what threatens to keep us apart.

Harmony for all. O death where is thy sting.

Big thanks to Hayden/Ferry of Roxy Music: righteous as ever old friend; love is the drug. Reunion never gets old.
