" CREATION " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: flower, plant, nature and outdoor

" This is Zeus*- the life-giving God- speaking come, come all you blind forces come out of chaos Let us bring order, so out of this anarchy, a cosmos to be born, a universe, where uniformity will reign and all will obey my Logos To achieve this, though, you all have to learn how to dance, to dance the dance of peaceful coexistence, but first, a partner for you I shall find. Now all you pay attention! Here is the list that I for you have prepared: Accord dances with discord unity with division love with hate joy with sorrow hope with despair pleasure with suffering harmony with strife mind with matter hot with cold humid with arid hard with soft... ............. And the temporal with the eternal... Be careful now for each step you take, your partner will take one keep in mind that you don't dance alone Respect your dancing partner, and he will respect you, what we try to achieve here is harmony only then this wondrous choreography of creation will be successful There you are! Slowly, dance back and forth, listening to this wondrous symphony of life." Thus spoke Zeus and managed to unite the opposites which resulted in the world we live in! © Demetrios Trifiatis 23 May 2018 * Greek Mythology tells us that when Zeus decided to create the world turned himself to Eros ( God of love) to be able to unite the opposite forces that existed within the Chaos to give birth to a harmonious Cosmos!

"Ensuring order into anarchy", spreading peace into a chaotic world.. A gracious and artful plea for love, tolerance, benevolence.. A profound imagination with expressive and impressive imagery! A great joy to read and a fount to inhale enlightenment from.. Shine and stay blessed dear Demetrios.

Always in synchronous harmony in a dance, the woman moves back and the man steps forward and vice versa keeping perfect pace. You have reflected this admirably in your Personification in opposite forces which is necessary to keep the balance of nature and Humanity by keeping in step. A wondrous write my dearest friend, if only.....Maria xxx
