It is summer,
and the Greek sky is shining by the sun’s golden fire rays.
I have made a
tiring journey by ship, but by the end the outcome rewards me from the very
first moment, while facing the new harbor of this sacred island.
I walk upon
the dusty covered roads of luminous Delos and a thousand memories of ancient
thought-forms float like little stars in the sky made of invisible little
threads, so old and bound up with Ancient Earth.
People who
walked upon the Sacred soil, talked, loved, suffered, lived their own lives
walking through the narrow streets. Upon those streets ,the ones walking similarly now days, we see
wrecked houses, remnants singing their own rhythms.
Images and
words, joys and dramas formed and grown in the cobbled roads of the Human Soul.
The view of Delos seduces you, so that you sink in a sweet
reverie, in a visualization of a life immersed in white and azure as in an
invisible painting of a magnificent Creator, who lives Omnipresent, around us,
and especially in our hearts.
In that very
Centre of Earth, our heart opens its gates to spread and paint with color the whole World, the color of Love.
It is that
world that all artists of life plunge their brush and cast this color on the
canvas of material reality.
At all times
the ship of human existence was tossed dangerously by going through turbulent waters and shaken by stormy
winds.
Somewhere
there inside the pitiless sea of centuries small communities aka cities with hidden
secrets, emerged and even today they
bequeath to youth (but probably less
happy…) a principleof their splendor, a small heritage.
I stand
across the ruins of lions, that seem to guard even until now the small island falling
into a meditative state of mind.
It is in these
unique moments that surprise overcomes you, for your belief that daily matters have depleted the last drop
of the tranquility of your Spirit along with your invaluable inspiration, it’s
exactly in that special moment those two strike from deep lethargy and mix with
emotion to channel a powerful blend.
It appears
as a trailer of a movie, where people stalk
in front of you who intertwins with the crowd.
On this
instant the writer’s pen is authorized to
behold the steering wheel of narration,
and prevails…
“The Path to Light stirs through prickly roads and stiffly ways…Whoever wishes to transverse this path needs to be armed with great patience and courage…”.
“The Path to Light stirs through prickly roads and stiffly ways…Whoever wishes to transverse this path needs to be armed with great patience and courage…”.
At the far
end of the horizon I star the sun keeping on his course westwards, saluting
good bye to the – ruined from time and
weather conditions – columns, and the sandy
paths.
Some of his
rays transform the rocky beds into golden, while passing through tourists
recall the coolness of the missing shadow upon this stripped from trees island.
A museum
full of ancient monuments stands somewhere there at the edge of the path.
A scripture
at the end of the big hall emphasizes the historical significance of the island
and the amazing co-existence of so many
races of people under the umbrella of Harmony and Unity.
All nations lovingly
united and not divided!
There is
something left for us to learn from this image, it suffices to see beyond
words……but, how many of us indeed do succeed that, and in what degree?
Does the
word “ unity “ remind us anything?
Time raced
forward, placing us face to face with ourselves, our karmic responsibilities,
our life purpose, but how many of us are truly ready to live up to this
timeless calling?
Are we
ourselves closing the ways of evolution, placing obstacles to progress, to
self-improvement, to upward path towards spiritual uplifting, while our
ancestor’s richness is spread around like ripe fruits?
Knowledge is
the wealth that we have accumulated from the Tree of Life and from the Wisdom
of Centuries.
Taste this
knowledge and accept its richness with grace in the present moment.
Create our “ Weltanschauung ” implementing the gifts
of knowledge.
Offer the
benefits of this positive energy to a thirsty world for a better future.
It lies in
our hand to act the best for world free from negativity!

Dear Katarina,
It's a pleasure to read your poetic description of Delos & including also a universal spiritual message to all of us.
You are a true spiritual writer.
I visited Delos in the past & have wonderful memories, knowing that it was one of most important spiritual centres in the past.
With my best wishes,
