Sorry, not my kind of photo............ but it reflects my feelings those days. TAKE CARE ALL. Hugs *********************** Social distancing is a set of nonpharmaceutical infection control actions intended to stop or slow down the spread of a contagious disease. The objective of social distancing is to reduce the probability of contact between persons carrying an infection, and others who are not infected, so as to minimize disease transmission, morbidity and ultimately, mortality.[1][2]

Wish you a most happy week. ************************************** Brookesia micra is a species of chameleon from the island of Nosy Hara in Antsiranana, Madagascar. It is the smallest known chameleon and among the smallest reptiles. In length, adult Brookesia micra can grow up to 29 mm.

Hugs *********************************************** To the Son of Cronos, Most High I will sing of Zeus, chiefest among the gods and greatest, all-seeing, the lord of all, the fulfiller who whispers words of wisdom to Themis as she sits leaning towards him. Be gracious, all-seeing Son of Cronos, most excellent and great!

Have a great day. ****************************************** The olive tree was first cultivated in the northeastern Levant, yet due to its versatility as a source of wood, food and oil, it played a fundamental role in the culture of ancient Greece. In their mythology, the Greeks depict the olive branch variously as a symbol of peace, wisdom, strength and healing.

This will be my last post for a while, as I am leaving for some holidays....:) Visiting CRETA, the land of Heroes and Gods. ********************************** HUGS and stay well. FOOD FOR THOUGHTS: global citizenship or world citizenship typically defines a person who places their identity with a "global community" above their identity as a citizen of a particular nation or place. The idea is that one’s identity transcends geography or political borders and that the planetary human community is interdependent and whole; humankind is essentially one. The term has been used in education and political philosophy and has enjoyed popular use in social movements such as the "World Citizen" movement and the Mondialisation movement.

Back, wish you all a wonderful week. Will try to chatch up asap. HUGS ...................................................................... www.bible.ca/archeology/bible-archeology-exodus-moabites.htm

Happy blue Monday........and a marvellous week ahead:)

[Re-post] NEW PROJECT: I want to show you some photos, linked to a synopsis of Homers ODYSSEY ( IN 9 parts) HOPE YOU ARE PATIENT:D Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. (Odyssey) Homer poseidon64.tripod.com/Odyssey.html Synopses of Book I in The Odyssey. The poet or narrator “invokes the Muse” asking her to start her story wherever she chooses, of our hero, Odysseus, who has travelled far and wide after the Trojan war. You see, Poseidon, who has kept Odysseus away from his land, Ithaca, is gone. The gods agree it’s time to let him come home. Athena descends to Ithaca, disguised as King Mentes, to talk with Telemachus, Odysseus’ son. The house is full of rowdy young men that are eating him out of house and home under the pretext of courting his mother, Penelope, who has not made up her mind about remarrying. Mentes or Athena predicts Odysseus’ return, prompts Telemachus to give up boyhood, act like a man, present his case to the assembly, and take strong steps to ascertain his father’s whereabouts. When Penelope comes down from her room to tell the bard Phemius to quit singing sad stories of Troy, Telemachus takes the chance to assert himself: he tells her to leave such matters to him, he is the master of the house.

Happy happy weekend:)
