Past and present,
facing us;
Helios greeting,
as we appreciate
good around us

COCKADOODLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Dialing 1-800 (#-#-#-#-#-#-#) may render unexpected consequences. Take today, for example, when I dialed a hotel chain’s customer service number to inquire as to the availability of shuttle service from Atlanta to one of the suburbs. The sound on the other line was that of a rooster heralding the hour; it serenaded me five or more times during the conversation.
The rooster provided a valuable service, reminding me of nature’s closeness to our psyche. The human, on the other hand, provided little or no service as to my inquiry.
Perhaps the rooster was trying to tell me something.

REMEMBERING EVIA
Nanoscope Therapeutics Announces Presentation of Positive Results from Optogenetic Gene Therapy for Retinal Degenerative Diseases at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Conference
HELIOCENTRIC MOMENT
Hardly a breeze,
nature in harmony;
Green conifers,
complementing azure sea,
mountains of Evia,
punctuating backdrop;
Reinvigorated,
inspired by Aegean baptism,
our day follows positive trajectory

ΕΥΛΟΓΙΑ ΦΙΛΙΑΣ FRIENDSHIP’S BLESSING
Οι συκιές γεμίζουν το μάτι,
η ελιά μας δίνει ζωή,
η ροδιά χρωματίζει,
το γιασεμί ευωδιάζει
Ο Ήλιος χαμογελά,
καλωσορίζοντας την Σελήνη
Οι φιλίες καρποφορούν,
φέρνοντας χαρά και έννοια
Θετικές σκέψεις
μας καθοδηγούν
στο μεγάλο ταξίδι
Ευχές υγείας και ό,τι καλύτερο!
Fig trees fill the horizon,
olive trees give life,
pomegranates color,
jasmine’s fill with fragrance;
Helios smiles,
welcoming Selene;
Friendships blossom,
bringing joy and meaning;
Positive thoughts,
guide us on the long voyage;
Wishes of health, and all good things!

THOUGHTS ON TRAVEL …
… To see, hear, examine, taste, breathe something different. How else can one understand the diverse composition of the human mosaic?
