Η ψυχή μιλάει μέσω μελωδίας Soul expressing itself via melody

Σήμερα η στεριά 
παντρεύτηκε τη θάλασσα,
Μία συνέχεια,
σάβανο γαλήνης 


Today the shore 
married the sea,
One continuum, 
tapestry of tranquility

This site ( CLICK HERE to access and read about TEAM ODYSSEUS) was created by my son Antoni, who is spearheading “Team Odysseus” in the annual Philadelphia Vision Walk fundraiser, organized by the Foundation Fighting  Blindness, to be held on October 1, 2022.

Your contributions help reach the goal of ending  blindness for all.

Thank you for supporting the team!

“I’ve created this team on behalf of my father Odysseus who continues to endure the effects of Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) which severely impacts his vision. He remains extremely positive and optimistic about global breakthroughs in tech!”

This journey has taken us through many stations; experiences, people got on for the ride. Some stayed on longer than others; others transferred to other trains, as paths diverged or stopped.  

The train we are on has as destination positivity, albeit with occasional detours.

Tunnel vision has led me to better discern surrounding energy; where I cannot see, I envision. Aura created by each encounter is another layer in Life’s surprises.

FATE’S VOYAGE

Fate was hitched,
to many passersby;

Overexertion of insecurity,
seeking validation;

Time, nature, experiences,
providing therapy,
realization of self,
on voyage of fulfillment

CONTINUUM 
Approaching Balance

The sifting goes on,
searching for,
finding the nuggets

Friendship,
not based on quid pro quo,
not on insecurity

Where a smile
and conversation,
uncharacterized by simulation,
authenticate continuity

STRIKING GOLD

Process refined,
many years’ process;
Finding friends,
sifting through silt of characters;
Gold remains at the end,
forever enriching our lives

ΠΑΝΣΕΛΗΝΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΡΘΕΝΩΝΑΣ

Χαρά συγκεντρωμένη σε ταράτσα,
θέα θεϊκή 

Τα χαμόγελα αμέτρητα,
έμπνευση αγαπητών, 
συνέχεια ζωής 

Να ζήσουν οι νεόνυμφοι,
που φώτισαν τη νύχτα με αγάπη

Translation

FULL MOON AND PARTHENON 

Happiness, concentrated on rooftop,
divine view

Countless smiles,
inspiration of loved ones,
continuity of life

A long life to the newlyweds,
who lit evening with love

In Athena’s shadow
I sit and write;
Inspired by history, meaning,
passed on through the ages

Propylaia and Niki’s Temple,
portending to past, present, 
and future

MORNING STROLL

Byzantine monument,
providing respite;
Ερμους, not overrun by crowds;

Quiet, comforting breeze,
as Αυγή slowly awakens,
making way for Helios
