do the things

Anna in Palmyra, 2007

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

American politician, diplomat, and activist. She persuaded her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt to stay in politics after he was stricken with debilitating polio in 1921, which cost him the use of his legs. F.D. Roosevelt was elected Governor of New York in 1928 and President of USA in 1933, 1936, 1940 and 1944.

Leave

Leave but don't leave me



Breathe, breathe in the air 
Don't be afraid to care 
Leave but don't leave me 
Look around and choose your own ground

Long you live and high you fly 
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry 
And all you touch and all you see 
Is all your life will ever be

Roger Waters [Breathe]


Pink Floyd - Breathe

Καλή Χρονιά!

broken car

Καλή Χρονιά!
με ορμή, με ενθουσιασμό, με όλη μας την καρδιά σε ό,τι κάνουμε!
Κι αν κάνουμε λάθη, καλοδεχούμενα, γιατί μας διδάσκουν και αυτά.
Ας προχωράμε στη ζωή, με κάθε τρόπο, με ό,τι έχουμε στη διάθεσή μας.
Ακόμη κι αν μας φαίνονται όλα χαμένα, υπάρχει τρόπος να προχωρήσουμε!

The Karakorum range view from the Himalayas


Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Pain and suffering


Pain of the Cosmos / Orion Nebula

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
