In my short article”Pythagoras and Variants,” published just two months ago, there is a mention of Pythagoras theorem and Greek Alphabet.
It was written before Afghanistan and before Putin and Baiden and Xi talks.
Well, I must say that it was omitted to mention one crucial letter of the same alphabet, which is indirectly mentioned in terms of the voice that Bull and Cow are letting out! It is a famous MUUUUUUUU! “Μμ”
The good thing about it is that all the Delta force airborne( coincidentally, Delta is finishing with the Afghanistan story…) variants to the MUUUU variant are no longer critical. If we go further, the following seven variants will not be binding, and we will approach the near end by mid of next year. Till then, we all need to learn the Cow voice and continue repeating MUUUUUUU! Here is a quote I used then you will also see it repeated below. Repetition is the mother of knowledge. You repeat many times “MUUU” you learn a lot! You become an expert in MUUUUUUUU and flattening the curve! Did we forget flattening? Well, MUUUU is for that also!
“That someone who thinks that ” Quod licet lovi, non licet bovi” or in English ” What is permissible for Jupiter may not be permissible for a bull” is wrong like all his predecessors.” Yes, it is wrong, and all those thinking of the fourth or fifth Reich are going where all their sick predecessors are. In the dumpster of history. Just we, “THE PEOPLE,” should not give them more of our TIME!
The following variant worthy mentioning will be “Y” Υυ”Upsilon,” giving the tribute to…. You think what our dear conspiracy practitioners are practicing! Or read a book from 1798 by one John Robins, professor of Edinburgh university. The title you find it by yourself! But read it! The method our controllers and planers are using is that of making us not to be able to concentrate! Then they let you learn about many books as you are taught to talk briefly using quotes and not going into the substance! Look at Facebook or Instagram. Will we wake up? No! But yes! You will get to that by yourself, or you will not. Only by self do you get to the substance and learn about methods. Once you understand what the methods are, you will notice how everything is simple and easy to comprehend.
Continuing with variants with Omega “Ωω,” Omega will be essential to see what those promoting MUUUU will decide for us. Will it is finished, and a great reset starts functioning, or will a new alphabet be introduced. Maybe Esperanto!
Esperanto is the language going with the new world order of stupid zombies and great reset. It is just an idea.

So, 26/6/2021 below words are published in the article “Pythagoras and variants:”

“Pythagoras Theorem says α2+β2=γ2.
Pythagoras and his students did not think how to use the “Δδ” Delta letter. But since it is there, it would be a disgrace not to find a way to use it. So now when Δδ Delta is used, we have another 20 Greek letters to attribute the meaning of our choice, as they would be jealous of Δδ Delta.
Delta has a psychological impact but imagine “Χχ” Chi or “Ψψ” Psi or famous “Ωω” Omega what effect would have!
But on the other hand, “Ωω” Omega is not so profitable as there are no more Greek letters after it, so another alphabet would need to be used. Someone might come to an idea to use 16 century BC letters found at the Engomi-Cyprus archaeological site. You can enjoy this, they say, still not deciphered letters in the below photo courtesy of an exciting book “The Origins of Cypriots” by Marie-Louise Winbladh. Great compliment. The language which is not interpreted, and the whole history that is built on half-truths or…(Added 15/9/2021)

That someone who thinks that ” Quod licet lovi, non licet bovi” or in English ” What is permissible for Jupiter may not be permissible for a bull” is wrong like all his predecessors.
It just reveals a common-sense reason why the decline of world powers is irreversible. No matter how many advances happened during their reign, the downturn, when it starts, is inevitable. Hope without changeless destructive consequences for humanity!
We “THE PEOPLE” would reverse one of the things: to make accountable all those that were selling to us colorful lies!
The faster we do it, the fewer alphabets will be used.”

Well, be sure that while we are sleeping and thinking about which car to buy and how to cheat our wives and husbands and forgetting about the core family values, the others are planning for us. While the others are selling to us “LIVE FOR TODAY ONLY, AND FORGET YOUR PAST, DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE, AS THERE IS THE END OF HISTORY,” they prepare variants and resets significantly affecting our lives! Are we prepared to accept it?
Are we imitating a FROG?
Again that FROG STORY!
Who came up to here and read it let me give you the opportunity to read AGAIN the FROG STORY!

When you put the frog in the boiled water, it will jump out of it immediately! But if you put it in lukewarm water, it will swim with the pleasure in it and will not notice that the pot is placed on fire as the warmth will increase gradually. The frog will enjoy the heat so much until it has been cooked!

That heat is our conformity! Our lost integrity. Our Ego and our selfishness!

It can be recovered! It is just and only up to you! Only up to you! You are only one decision away from becoming you again! Or to use a technology expression, you are one click away of becoming yourself again!

Swimming trunks forgotten

Who cares, you or some of you would say when reading the title! But if the title was “She Again!” then your blood would start circulating faster as your curiosity would immediately reach high levels! Well, I was thinking of controlling the circulation by slowly going to the point! But in vain! However, the title was a good try!
There are life situations when the “point” does not care about blood flow and blood pressure. It happens, and we need to accept it, live with it and definitely enjoy it!
Let me try again to calm the feelings and go around a bit.

Yesterday, I went on an excursion to see places I already saw before. It was an excellent opportunity to renew the awareness and live the excitement again! All went beyond high expectations, and after visiting one ancient citadel with the breathtaking view of both sides of the island of Cyprus, we went to see another ancient city radiating magic! I often felt it there, the first time being in September of 2016 when I attended “Antigoni,” a theatre play performed by Cyprus Theatre Organisation. The ancient theatre of Salamina was full of people awaking the magic, which had some decades to reveal itself! This is how my connection with this place started. When things go another way than expected, it is always nice to have a place, a magic place, to raise your morale and positivity.
The place which sharpens receptors, enabling you to feel the magic in the right intensity! After you realize that all that magic is YOU! The site helps as long as you are ready to help yourself first!
Now, after many times of visiting the ancient city of Salamina, it is not necessary to go there often, as the connection, some kind of telepathy is established, and only by thinking any required sort of healing takes place.
Believe it, it is possible, and you can also feel it. Choose your own “Salamina,” and try to forget something to go back again and live the surprise made by Gods!

We came to Salamina after 5 pm, and as the site was closed, I decided to go for a swim at a nearby beach, attracted by heartbreaking music from a nearby beach bar. As it was windy, I savored the waves with my eyes looking at the ruins of Salamina that rose shyly, reminding me that I was at the friendly place! My place of magic. Most of my friends decided to sit at the Bedis beach bar and have a drink, so I did the same after forty minutes of making friends with the sea. After having a shower, I changed and refreshed, took a seat at the bar, and ordered a nice chardonnay. The wine was beautifully cooled, transferring me to the dream mode!
This was when it happened!
When back on the bus I realized that I forgot to take the swimming shorts I left at the chair to dry!
To go or to not go back, I thought during the ride towards Nicosia.
Then I remembered my friend Adriano and his beautiful introduction to my upcoming book “Quarantine diaries and beyond,” which answered the question “To be or not to be?” with a statement I used for the book cover!
“Better be!”
So, I decided to go the following day to the same place, and, if I find my “legendary” swimming shorts, bought by my ex-wife, to have an early morning swim!
That is what has happened and is still happening till I write this!
I came, I found my swimming shorts as it got good care by the staff of Bedis beach bar and immediately went for a swim!

And there was she looking at me! Not only looking but smiling also. I turned around to see if somebody was behind me, and when I saw no one, I started examining the person. She was the woman! Woman with all necessary standards, plus plus plus and such expressive eyes!
I do not want to reveal to the detail how she is looking. That will stay our little secret. But I will share how pleasant conversation can be when you do not speak the same language!
As I was swimming and she and her friend were under the sea dock enjoying the “secret” but highly inspirational place, we exchanged looks and started smiling at one another. They went out, and I followed them to take my camera and get the photos under the sea dock! She gave me the idea!
As I was taking pictures, she came and asked if I want her to take photos of me inside of the dock! Well, you understand, obviously, that I said YES! Huge but balanced, yes!
This is how our friendship started and how we learned a couple of words from our different languages.
Her friend, her and me, had a coffee, slowly learning about who we are and what we do. The learning will continue.
The magic forces of nearby Salamina made me forget my swimming shorts, decide that it is better to be, and go back to Bedis beach bar where I found it and found a new beautiful friend.

Instead of sleeping, wake up and follow the magic!
It will reveal herself when the time is right and not when you want it!
So be consistent and arm yourself with a lot of patience!

Happy be and BETTER BE!

I

It is unnecessary to be surrounded by fantastic scenery to get inspired. Many times the thoughts, those that change the perspective, when they are ready, when there is a specific time for them to appear, find the road towards the mind, just show up and say: “We’ve arrived, and you can take note if you want!” However, surroundings often increase the flow of thoughts, making you learn to digest them rapidly and then share them with your loved ones and with the world. 
Spending time near the sea, with the sound of the waves that tickle the ears, with the shy smell of iodine silently contributing to our healthy being and with a breeze that moves the canopy and sweeps the trees helping the earth to breathe, the feeling to share the thoughts of togetherness and humanity matures faster than usual. 
I felt that my balance improved, and my awareness awoke, leaving ego aside. That “ego,” which is the central part of us that manipulators, visible and invisible, use to distract and control us drawing all the positive energy, or better converting all the positive, human energy to negative, tearing down the soul and spirit! 
By leaving the ego to sleep forever if possible, our health enhances, our mind clears and sets us free to meet ourselves again and anew and realize how everything in life starts from us first! We do not need mediums to initiate us! We can do it by ourselves. It is simple, and it is in front of our noses! Practice togetherness! Smile, laugh from the heart, whole heart! Learn what to do with your freedom! Be curious and humble! Do not steal! Invent! With a clear mind and face! 
One C.S.Lewis, who was a professor of theology at Oxford after announcing in his 1937 novel “The Silence of the Earth,” the “beginning of a war for the possession of the human soul,” in his last book “Till We Have Faces,” apart from other beautiful words left with us this quote: “ The Gods will not speak to us face to face until we ourselves have a face.” 
So what is covering our face and stopping us from talking with gods?

II

There are times you spend in the places where air breaths so sweetly, successfully concealing the power of the sun’s rays. You realize the overwhelming power of the sun only later when you become red-faced! Surprise is always for after. 
It is like popular masking in chess, which is explained as follows: “ Masking=moving in stealth(transferred to stealth, or hidden, board). You can only mask or unmask any piece( except for the King) that was just moved at the end of the movie. King cant mask, all other pieces can.” Poor Kings!

With our moves masked or not, we decide to go where we go, meet people we meet, create relations of any kind with them, be honest or not, study what we want to learn or not, marry whom we wish to marry, or do we not? That is the question! How free are our decisions? How deep are our concerns? Why do we have concerns? 
If you go deeper and be honest with yourself, you will find out that ego and fear are the two main issues! 
With them, fear and ego, put aside, you will become you and stop judging, become healthy and happy, stop being grumpy, feel absolute love and compassion towards yourself and others, and when that happens, my dear fellow humans, the sky is short to be the limit! If you desire to fly! 
If you have doubt, which is human and desirable, remember the words of Leonardo da Vinci: “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return!”

III

I can completely understand and terribly and passionately approve the saying of Ernest Hemingway, admiring his witty remark when he said that “there is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at the typewriter (then-emphasis added) and bleed(always-emphasis added)!” 
To bleed is to create and inspire! 
That can be a red face from the sun, giving you unique inspiration and understanding why you are here! Why are we all here? 
All the happiness comes from bleeding! Life is a sacrifice worthy of your ideas and your aims! More human, genuine drives, happier the life! Be positively satisfied with other people’s achievements! Give good without asking anything in return. As energy floats around, good will always come back. The opposite is also absolute! 
How this fits here, you might ask! 
Well, the emphasis is on the word BLEED! 
Bleed, and you will meet yourself and all your decisions! 
Those decisions that made you lose yourself, your self-belief, and forget that you are special also! 
Believe in yourself unconditionally and doubt everything, always staying observant! 
Do not forget to Love! Love all forms and shapes of nature! How extraordinary are the waves today! They sway like the most charming tango dance! 
Love, even with all the nerves involved! Even if it looks like that will destroy you! It will not! It will fulfill you! 
What is life without love and passion? 
What is life without experiencing irrationality! 
Irrational for them is rational for you as you are you, one and only original, and them-they, poor, do not know that they are originals too, as they are at sleep! They sleep occupied only by themselves. The ego ate them! 
Your irrationality, as they will insidiously label you and call you irrational for being different, is a masked medicine for them to find their lost self! You will be a doctors doctor! Human elixir! 
They will realize that little is needed to disconnect from the false world they are in and connect with the authentic self!

IV

I looked around. The beach is nearly free of people, and the sea is preparing to handle the sunset. 
Sunsets are romantic and sad as time passes quietly but without any stopover, reminding us of the transience of life. We, the people, often do some extraordinary things during the sunset while considering, “We only live once” thought. Like wolves, we bark at the stars and sometimes at someone near us! It is just and regrettably losing of the time we have to spend here! Instead of barking, LOVE! Continue the sunset romantic with sunrise magic! 
In between, make kids! That will make them nervous and you and us happy and satisfied! 
The masks have fallen, and as there are still many, they will still be falling! 
The golden dawn is re-approaching us! Not the society but the magic! 
The magic all of us can feel while seeing the sunrise! Such a positive tremendous, overwhelming, human energy, given to us to use it properly!

To use the words of W.B.Yeats, the grandmaster of Golden Dawn and Nobel Prize winner, who used the name of “Brother Devil in God Reversed,” and wearing the black mask while presiding the meetings of the society: 
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

And whatever there is or will be- HAVE SELF-CONFIDENCE AND UNCONDITIONALLY BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF!

There are many comments from many critics of current USA President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw the US Army from Afghanistan. Obviously, Afghanistan was a lucrative business opportunity for many in the upper and lower echelons of the establishment. Tax-free, duty-free profits in the range of two thousand percent at least, and beyond comprehension amount of sales contracts for the military-industrial complex.
Many specialists with service in Afghanistan showed their faces in public for the first time, severely criticizing the logical decision for withdrawal.
America needs to reform itself from within! To achieve that reform and save the country, all the places where the state money was flowing without any serious audit for the profit of individuals need to be cut loose!
Here you will find parts of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1961 speech to refresh the memory of those who forgot and increase awareness for those who did not know about it.
“Crises there will continue to be. In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties. A huge increase in newer elements of our defense; development of unrealistic programs to cure every ill in agriculture; a dramatic expansion in basic and applied research — these and many other possibilities, each possibly promising in itself, may be suggested as the only way to the road we wish to travel.
But each proposal must be weighed in the light of a broader consideration: the need to maintain balance in and among national programs — balance between the private and the public economy, balance between cost and hoped for advantage — balance between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable; balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual; balance between actions of the moment and the national welfare of the future. Good judgment seeks balance and progress; lack of it eventually finds imbalance and frustration.
The record of many decades stands as proof that our people and their government have, in the main, understood these truths and have responded to them well, in the face of stress and threat. But threats, new in kind or degree, constantly arise. I mention two only.”

As a wise man with tremendous knowledge and intuition as well as a patriot and genuine American, then-President Eisenhower left with us an account which is humbly but firmly suggested to all to read before exercising criticism for long term decisions which are cutting unimaginable costs and stop some of the bleedings of the state!
And it is suggested for reading to those that are genuine in their intentions and are not bought by any interests!
To continue.
” A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.
Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present
and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system — ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.”

Just not to think that this is an American phenomenon, let me bring to your attention the story they say occurred in the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death.
Namely, Lavrentiy Beria, who was in charge of the Internal Affairs Ministry, prepared the document together with Stalin about sustainability- yes, sustainability of the Soviet Union economy, having in mind all these new states in Eastern Europe that fell under the Soviet influence! They say that the recommendation was to cut loose those newly acquired countries as the Soviet Union could not manage to finance and develop them in the long run.
Noone of the members of then politburo was an angel, and all had the blood of their citizens on their hands! However, as Beria would apply the suggestions from that paper, thus striking a blow to the Soviet military-industrial complex Marchal Zhukov and Nikita Khrushchev went into Beria’s office with pistols and forced him to resign and brought him to trial, executed him, thus covering their own crimes. “Dead mouth does not talk.” It was 1953! A good example for business partners from America!
Perestroika was born by Stalin and Beria, brought to the light of the day by Yuri Andropov, and executed with the mess by Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
There is another piece of information which time now shows that was true and right!
Yuri Andropov as ex KGB chairman, when becoming General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, asked all KGB offices in the world to answer one crucial question – “What will happen if the Soviet Union and Warshaw pact ceased to exist?”
Surprisingly, he got the reply from the vast majority of the KGB intelligence stations that the long-term strategic strength of Russia would only increase!
It was greatly masked with poverty shown on the surface and professionally executed by brilliant minds!
Russia was reformed, and that reform continues till this day! New faces, patriots, and dedicated personalities are preparing Russia to enter the new stage of human history.
Just to mention that Nikita Khrushchov, in 1954, transferred Crimean Oblast to Ukraina! It was the present of the Soviet military-industrial complex to Kruschov’s role in ousting Beria!
Wake up, people!

Donald J. Trump said in his public duels with Joe Biden in the very human and profoundly informed manner that Joe, you will not be able to do what you want with those around you, to get a reply that it will be my government. I, Joe Biden, will be making decisions!

That is what is happening now!

Nothing is easy, especially when you have vast interests against you! But!
Every person wants something to stay behind him! Something to be remembered for, from generations to come!
All those who still did not sell their soul to the devil have only hope that this is behind the decision to withdraw the US Army from Afghanistan!
The decision to reform from within!
Maybe it is too late, but it is sure that all normal human beings from whatever place of the world they come, want the reformed USA! Even Russia and China! Have that in mind!

Do not allow to be manipulated! Investigate and inform your self always having doubt as guidance! Balanced doubt!

And “stay observant!”

Waking up in the magic place, something nearest to my idea of paradise, with thoughts about what represents friendship and what happiness inspires me to enjoy life. It immediately reminded me of Pythagoras and what he said, that “the art of living is to live in the present,” whatever that present might be. When you set your mind free, inspired by the whole magnetic atmosphere, your brain starts singing, and words start flowing. This is precisely what is happening with me now, and these verses are born-
Magic place, waves sound
with the tickling breeze blowing around
some donkey curiously passing by
while I look at the sea and cloudy sky

That is me living the present with a completely clean and clear mind.
If someone would want to define the state I live in at this moment, the moment of the present, the definition would be – incorrigible romantic!
Being romantic is to see the world with beautiful color glasses and to love all human beings! Whoever they are and where ever they come from, as long as they are human. And Romantic! Hahahaha. Not necessarily, but I would be inclined to wish for that!
I can not fill my eyes with enough of the landscape in front of me! It is, and it will never be enough!
Oh, life! Oh, God! Oh, human beings and my dearest friends! I would like for the present to be always like this present!
After three years, I came here again, and I did not expect to be reborn again, like the first time.
Then it happened instantly. Now, after three years, it occurs at the end!
The tears I shed three years ago when walking towards this part of the sea for the first time, I freed now, again this morning, my third day here.
The third morning I got the feeling that I am living the present miracle called simply LIFE!

We, the people, live our lives often bored and with constant fear. The fear grows exponentially with the unknown, or just imagined!
What we can not see and feel induces fear in all our being, making it impossible to feel and live the present!
Then we have a technology and even higher technology made to make our life, suppose easier, but in reality complicates it with all the bad news and even the shallow, plastic, good news. All serve the concept of making us stupid, zombies, half robots, morons, idiots, and who knows what else. The point is to forget that we are human and that we ARE ROMANTIC!
And then you come to this place again.
You meet people with different backgrounds and habits. New and old habits included.
Like two Italian couples who were trained to wear the face mask in the open and while walking. They spent their valuable present time discussing PCR test requirements instead of enjoying and living the magic this place offers! They are beautiful, good, genuine people who were hit by the hammer of propaganda and fear and deprived of feeling the present moments! They said, trying to confirm their affiliation to the system, “we also have a “Green Pass.” Green Pass is in Italy what is “Safe Pass” in Cyprus or some other pass in other countries! All are PASS! Do you remember “AUSWEIS?” If not, go immediately to the new technology called GOOGLE and find out who, when, and why asked for that document. Immediately! Then WAKE UP and become ROMANTIC!

Maybe those inventors of “Pass” , and other unfortunate conformist will forbid us again from going to the sea and enjoying the scenery listening to the waves, and inhaling iodine!

But until then, I will, and you should fill the eyes, ears, and lungs with all the magic and pureness of this world living this present moment. With Donkey company also! They are veryyyyy cute!

Live the present, make the MAGIC! You ARE THE MAGIC!

Meet the edible snail of Karpaz and whole Cyprus

While recently hiking in the Karpaz peninsula on the beautiful island of Cyprus, while on the road towards three churches built near the ancient and important city of Urania and recently restored by EU, UNDP, and both Cypriot communities, I found this fantastic snail shell. I immediately presented it with pride to the young Spanish couple I met in the nearby restaurant. They thought that the cover is painted! It is original, and following you have a short history,
They are well known here as “Karaoli,” or “Garavolli,” and the most delicious of them, like the shell’s tenant at the photo, has the size of 4-5 cm across. They feed on flowers growing on some of the beaches here, and their life span is up to, believe it or not, 35 years. Can you imagine if the snails were sold by age, like wine?!
They avoid dry weather and are resting under the vegetation, also protecting themselves from predators. They are popularly cooked and seasoned with garlic, olive oil, and lemon. Cypriots are so passionate that they ask for them even in the UK, where many Greek and Turkish Cypriots found refuge after 1974.
There is a story conveyed to me by the now-deceased Greek Cypriot men, a refuge from the village of “Gaidouras” or ” Nea Sparti,” who had a small but very popular traditional Cypriot restaurant in London.
During the memorable night we spent in his restaurant, he told us the story of how he transported those edible, original Cypriot snails to London, using the plane, of course.
He filed the shoeboxes with flour and positioned as many snails as possible to clean themselves and be ready for cooking when they arrive in London. Many times all the procedures went great and without any issues with UK customs. But one time, when he picked up the boxes at the airport, he noticed that they were lighter than before. When he came to the restaurant and opened the boxes, he saw that nearly all the snails disappeared! He was so concerned that he thought about what would happen if snails did damage to the airplane. However, as no news are good news, no one reported anything, so this adventure passed unnoticed!
It could be that delicious, edible, unique Cypriot snails found their way to the UK fields and mixed with the English variety of snails. No one in England could use it as a marketing point, as our hero kept it as his best-kept secret. It seems that it still is!
There is no other way for genuine snail lovers to feel the taste, except to visit Cyprus or some original Cypriot restaurants in their cities abroad and try these absolutely unique snails! And this only if the owners are trained to properly transport snails and not lose them in the process!

If nothing can still unite Cyprus, maybe the snails and their marketing would be an excellent reason to find a modus vivendi for it!

And about the three churches and ancient town of Urania you will learn next time! Just as a sweetener you can see some pictures

Going to the beach is a ritual to many.

Preparing towel, sunscreen cream, maybe a sandwich or two, mask, changing dress and anything else your mind says, is definitely a ritual. For many is rush but, I want to believe, to as many is a ritual. That is called “old school,”where all that is worthy takes time.

And not to forget a special companion even if you have a company. The book!

That happens to me and all arround me when going to the beach.

Lately I discovered that there should be parts of the beaches where WiFi does not work! WiFi can distruct that special, unique feeling, to live what you read. Writers usualy write about themselves, covering it using different techniques, but if your mind is free for a couple of minutes, you start living the story you read. We all start feeling the words we read and make them to become our own experiences.

Before sharing my read for today’s beach session let me share a short event meaning so much, and inspiring me to feel deeper what I read and becoming fired up with the idea that humanity will prevail! As always!

Namely, I heard when on the beach, two ladies talking: “ Susanne, you will not believe what I forgot to bring with me!? A book! My God, I must forgot it on the kitchen table while rushing to come to your car.” Susanne gently smiled and replied with such an easiness : “ Here is my car key. Go and take it. You will be back in twenty minutes. “

That was it. Lady friend of Susanne took the car key and went to take the book she forgot on the kitchen table. It was 11.20, before noon.

I continued reading my book with greater zeal and deeper curious emotions.

My companion book name was “Fourteen to Fourty-Eight, A Diary in Verse” written by Margery Lawrence in 1949 and dedicated to her husband Arthur who died in 1948.

From her note: “… I tend to write not so much of these events themselves as if their effect on my personal life and the lives of the people I love. But I fancy a tendency of most women( certainly of emotional and highly-strung women) to put people before events, to be subjective rather than objective. And deeply moved as one may be by a world-tragedy such as(for instance) Hiroshima or the horrors of Belsen, these still do not hurt most of us as sharply ad agonizingly as the sight of the desparate pain of one beloved person who belongs to us… “

She wrote it then but it can be applied forever and ever. Goes without saying that forever and ever is today also!

It could be that statistic was invented just because of that!

Margery “Diary in Verse, “ is a book of person who loved much and beloved of many!

I enjoyed growing with her, again.

Even that 1912 the year of her first poem from the part of “Childhood, “ is some nearly six decades before I was born, her rimes reflect not only mine but many generations childhood. The childhood that was overwhelmed with curiosity and search for mostly spiritual, ultimate love and happiness.

The Song of Peters Mother written after she saw first time Peter Pan says

“ There lies a little shadow on the wall,

A little sound of wailing on the air,

There came a little figure in the night

And passed again-but left its shadow there.”

Then songs of the youth written from 1914-1918 during the duration of the WWI, where… “My soldier lies sleeping… “

Where “darkness and silence and night is the end of their story-All we need to know. “

And expressing rage of wounded

“We who lie away

God! Hear ourccry

Upon Their hands our blood

Is yet undry

Those who sat safe at Home

And let us die! “

It was 1917, but every turbulent year in any nations history can be described like that.

Margery concludes, as we all should!

“God of my sailor, make me strong

To live as bravely as he died! “

If we as human beings start living as bravely as those who sacrifice their lives for us our world will be a paradise!

Out of all these experiences and pain, and then when you do not expect or planned for it love comes and starts making you dizzy and blind with flying mind!

“I can not work.

Between my desk and me

Your face slips, smiling…

I can not sleep.

You come between my eyes….

Oh, I feel yourclios

That burn and ache on mine…

I can not sleep…”

That was her Arthur!

They experienced pure, genuine adoration and uncountable devotion, called simply love.

Not sex but pure love which results in beautiful overwhelming and passionate sexual relationship.

When Arthur passed away she wrote “Gentleman-In White” and following

L’ENVOI

“While there’s a wave to lift a keel

And wind to fill a sail

While sun and moon and stars can tell

Their never-changing tale

While Earth and all her gods can bless

And courage can prevail-

O bruised heart, buckle on your pride

And thank the Lord the world is wide”

Short book, meant for the beach.

Sea salt water is near to clean all the tears and remind you that tomorrow is another day.

Be ready for love and compassion!

Do not ask for it! It will come at the time you do other things. But be prepared when it comes to reckognise it and do not let it go!

Instead live experiences and “buckle on your pride! “

For the end I left one piece of information.

The book which is now in my possession was a present to some Lindsay Irene with love from her grandmother in 1957!

Instead of something else, go back to “old school” and start giving presents in the form of books‼! Again!

Will save your soul and you from all this pot we are swiming in!

And for any god you believe in sake-LOVE!

LOVE PURE!

It is not about Gabriel Garcia Marquez, neither about Cholera but it is about Humor and us.
Once George Bernard Shaw, and here he will be mentioned many times, invited Winston Churchill to the premiere of his new play using the following words: “I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend … if you have one.”
To receive Sir Winston’s reply: “Cannot possibly attend the first night; will attend second, if there is one.”

Word HUMOR comes from the healing method of ancient Greeks called Humoral Treatment. According to the old doctors, the treatment produces moisture in the human body, on which mood and physical well-being depend. Hence, humor is the state of cheerful disposition, the highest form of comedy accompanied by a certain admixture of pain.
It also has its Latin roots with the same meaning- “( stem of (h)umor-moisture, fluid-body fluid, equivalent to (h)um(ere) “to be wet(humid).”

We always had among us fellow human beings who are our partners on this planet called Earth, which do not want their fellow human beings to produce humidity, moisture and practice humor to relieve stress and anxiety. Yes, humor is precisely that- a reliever of stress and anxiety contributing very much to our fearless human well-being! That is why you had in ancient Greece, and used today, a word describing where health and disease come from- that word is Psychosomatic! Psyche-Soul and Soma-Body!
That is why, with no major surprise, you can see that the tendency is to divide even humor. But it is with surprise and significant concern that, even with the legal notice that the “European Commission is not liable for any consequence stemming from the reuse of the publication,” it still bears the sign of EC( European Commission) and the RAN(Radicalisation Awareness Network).
The title of this publication is “It’s not funny anymore. Far-right extremists’ use of humor.” (1). They do not even give us the pleasure to learn what the word Humor represents and how it can positively affect our behavior and make us healthier even with some pain attached!
This is another attempt for one-eyed to follow the blind and divide Humor into far-right, far-left, and medium, and who knows what else.
This short article aims to let fellow human beings understand that George Bernard Shaw and so many wise people we can call statesmen were right when humorously presenting the truths about them and about us.
Humor always shows the good cheerful, humid spirit. As immortal George Bernard Shaw famously said that “my way of joking is telling the truth; that is the funniest joke in the world.”
But at the same time, humor is the best way of revealing things that we can’t say otherwise! Humor makes us curious and inspires us to investigate further. It teaches us to read between the lines! Sharpens our perception raising our awareness and common sense! Humor should be taught in schools also!
That is why those who promote the divide idea pursue to discredit humor, labeling it far-right and far-left and far too far!
Whoever wants to divide humor wants us not to be able to see the truth through it! Because, again Bernard Shaw said that “when a thing is funny, search it for a hidden truth!”
It looks like the tendency is to send feelers and prepare the ground for us not to think, not to laugh, and finally, God forbid, not to exist anymore as humans!
But again, it will go in vain! What do we just need to do?
First, read again or start reading George Bernard Shaw!

And do not be afraid to believe in yourself, as “in this world, there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.”( Geroge Bernard Shaw)

The times we live in are full of many non-intentional humoristic events made by insidious fellow human beings. They are in tragedy, and we are in hope! Like the one character stating that the virus is transmitted through UNVACINATED children to vaccinated parents. That is humor. Unintentional one but great humor!
They do not realize what we realize, and it comes from Sir Winston Churchill:”The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”
That is why we, the humor fans( wherever it comes from), will prevail and save those walking towards the tragedy!
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.” Sir Winston Churchill.
I hope that this raises your eyebrows and makes you smile! Or it just takes you to another thought of the same immortal man!
“Lady Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife, I’d put poison in your coffee.”
Winston Churchill: “Nancy, if I were your husband, I’d drink it.”

Choose with whom you drink your coffee! Far-right or far-left, no matter! The matter is if they are fellow human beings!
