The Immortals' Land

On the peaks of the snow-covered mountains of age

Just under the demarcation of eternity’s line, I stand

Hoping, some snowflakes of wisdom still to harvest

Before starting my crossing, into the immortals’ land!

This is for certain my friend Matthew. What is not certain though is the reaction of each one of us. This is the point of the "interesting" writing. Will we be ready? Peace and Blessings to you too, dear Matthew!

Merci beaucoup pour ta visite cher ami, Maurice! Thank you very much for your first visit my dear friend, Maurice! I really appreciate it! I also thank you for you gracious comment! Plato said that each one of us understands something according to his knowledge and experience! A younger person may have found my writing not so profound! Merci encore!

Mikroula mou, it is the lot of mortals not decide when to go! I will stay as long I am allowed to! What I am trying to say here is that I am ready to respond to the divine call, without fear or regrets! That someone is on the top of the snow-covered mountains doesn't mean that he will cross in to the immortals' land first. Unfortunately, we have many young who are doing the crossing every day! Thank you very much for your kind and caring words!
