Tom Waits - Little Trip to Heaven

        Infinity in a moment                            

Softly the evening came with a sunset

Pekka Pohjola - Sekoilu Seestyy

Where beauty has no ebb, decay no flood,

but joy is wisdom, time an endless song.

William Butler Yeats

Moondog -  Lament I, Bird's Lament

This is a photo I retrieved some days ago and I really like, taken some years ago 

while on a winter afternoon walk to Pantokratoras,

nature never ceases to amaze me...

Soaring in the sky

And above all,

watch with glittering eyes

the whole world around you

because the greatest secrets

are always hidden

in the most unlikely places.

Those who don't believe in magic

will never find it.

Roald Dahl

                                                                                                                                      Magic

The blossom that opens in the morning

is scattered by the evening breeze,

and the dew, condensed in hours of darkness

before dawn, is dispelled by the rays of the morning sun.

Heedless or willfully ignorant of this

procession of changes, we dream of prosperity

all through life and, without understanding

the nature of transcience, hope for longevity.

All the while, across the face of the earth

moves the restless wind of impermanence,

dissolving all that it touches.

Honen (  May 13, 1133 - February 29, 1212 )

Cocteau Twins - Persephone

Timeless sea breezes,

sea-wind of the night:

you come for no one;

if someone should wake,

he must be prepared

how to survive you.

Timeless sea breezes,

that for aeons have

blown ancient rocks,

you are purest space

coming from afar…

Oh, how a fruit-bearing

fig tree feels your coming

high up in the moonlight.

Song of the sea 

Rainer Maria Rilke

Bill Evans & Jim Hall - Dream Gypsy

   And in that moment,

        I swear

      we were infinite

                                                

                                            

  

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps.

Sharon Draper

Owl John - Ten Tons Of  Silence

A walk from Kiani Akti to Pantokratoras

Oι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι πιστεύουν ότι είναι θαύμα αν περπατάμε στο νερό ή αν πετάμε στον αέρα. 

Όμως νομίζω πως το πραγματικό θαύμα είναι να περπατάς στη γη. Κάθε μέρα είμαστε μάρτυρες σε ένα θαύμα που το αφήνουμε να περνά απαρατήρητο : τον μπλε ουρανό, τα πράσινα φύλλα, τα γεμάτα περιέργεια μάτια ενός παιδιού, τα δικά μας μάτια...Όλα είναι ένα θαύμα.

Thich Nhat Hanh
