english poem



















through the dark night of the soul,
growing wings to fly into the unbounded
we can either be lonely,
or enjoy the freedom that solitude brings.
"Be a light unto yourself"
to make our way through the darkness
without any companions, maps or guide.
the dawn is not far away.
as the dawn comes closer,
the night will become darker.
You are not here just to become more and more efficient--
you are here to become more and more alive;
you are here to become more and more intelligent;
you are here to become more and more happy,
ecstatically happy…..
If you want to be a poem,
an ecstasy,
then forget about utility.
Remain true to yourself.

And I thought that english was not your strong point...

Ε όχι και απόπειρα! Ήταν πάρα πολύ καλό! Εξαιρετικό θα έλεγα...

Αν μου επιτρέπεις και μια συμπλήρωση (όχι δικιά μου αλλά του Hegel) ο άνθρωπος δεν γεννιέται ελεύθερος, γεννιέται για να ελευθερωθεί.

Καλημέρες!
