“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese
Panorama
The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!

Rhodes Island, Greece
A small piece
Of our history
Beyond the centuries
The old town
Considered the crown

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart”

Rhodes
The beach
At your reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece

“The single most important component
of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.”

Rhodes
Travelling around the island
In the colours of black and white
What could be more inspiring
Or feeling more right

“When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family’s car at the drive-in” Forest Whitaker
On the Sunny Side of the Bench
On the sunny side of the bench
No option of getting drenched
Enjoying the long, warming rays
In these unworried and lazy days
Before the days are done
Soaking in the healing sun
With closed eyes this moment
Like an image in my mind burnt

“When preparing to travel,
lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.”
Susan Heller
Delphi
Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi

“When preparing to travel,
lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.”
Susan Heller
Deplhi
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot
Posted in Mundane Monday
“Our daily lives are so mundane,
we get taken over by
what is immediately in front of us
and we don’t see beyond that”
Benedict Cumberbatch
Dolls
Eyes staring
Almost glaring
Never moving
Only viewing
Toward the future?
Or into the past?
No one knows
What on goes
In a doll’s mind
Just be kind
You may be surprised
Or even, hypnotized
They may be mundane
Objects d’art even
Dolls in the window
But no one really knows

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
Vienna
When on a walkabout
On the city’s streets at night
Drawn towards the castle lights
Shining ever so bright
The past has its resonance
In the architecture with elegance
You may even glimpse an eminence
Roaming around the residence
Let the feelings of lavish
Your daily routine vanish
And enjoy a sip from a chalice
In the Schönbrunn Palace
