On pain's bed, after the operation, my body rests*
Motionless the view out of the window tries to enjoy
While my soul the opportunity of peace grasps to think
How the gifts the spirit provides, could I better employ!

* Last year, on the 19th of October, after a fall a large Hematoma
was created in my brain. The doctors didn't think I could survive,
or even if I managed to survive, still were not certain I could walk or talk.
However, a young doctor, named Christos Koutsarnakis, who believes in God,
performed an extensive Craniotomy that lasted for four hours. His faith was rewarded! I was saved and, thank God I have no problems with my walk or my speech. I thank the Lord and the good doctor! God bless him and God bless my wife who saved my life by taking me to the hospital while unconscious, plus all of you who have prayed for me!

The storm has subsided
The wind has died out
The sea has calmed.
The night has passed
The sun has risen
Darkness is dissipated
Fear is gone
Hope has returned
My dream is revived.
God gave me another chance:*
Another day to live,
Another day to test my wings,
To fly
To create.
The goal of my life appeared before my eyes
Anew:
Provoking
Challenging
Demanding.
I feel God's presence!
My faith is strengthened,
My determination is reinforced,
My heart rejoices,
My soul is uplifted.
It is certain, that this time,
I would succeed in serving Him better
For
With the Lord's help,
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

* Back in October 2021, I had a serious accident that
caused a large Hematoma in my brain, and as a consequence of that, I had
a long (12") Craniotomy which brought me to the gates of eternity mute and paralyzed, however, God gave me another chance to live!

Let us, my friends, the most powerful weapons of peace to create,
Weapons that would surpass in force all those that war possesses,
Able to carry to every heart: reason, compassion, and love
So as the entire world on humanity's path progresses!

Sorry for being away again but a beloved person from my family passed away on the 4th of January. This is the 10th person we lose in nine months. This is the worst year in my life! God bless their soul. P.S.: I almost was the 11th person back in October, to cross over because of the Hematoma and the Craniotomy that followed! God is great!

Either Done in Autonomy
A lobotomy
Or a craniotomy
Which is best for me?
I am beginning to believe
for each and every politician
so it seems now a days.
