The Kind of HOPE that lights my way

Picture
The last time I've tried to write something...close to poetic- was in elementary school- few centuries ago. Disclosure: Trying again- in 2020-  does not make me a poet- I am just catching up with my elementary school gaps.

2020 World HOPE lights our way
Olympia Lyronea of the day:

My Lala Land!
​
Life is full of battles.

Battles of different bodies- and different minds-
​Battles of darkness- battles of light
across all cultures and across all lands.
Across Civilizations across all Hearts.
Beyond- the bodies- beyond the ONE.

(NOTE: please add some acccentTTT here...)
 
Looking back- I catch my mind, to often travel across my time- 
I see my battles- across lands- beyond restrictions of certain a “land”-

And all in one body but with different mind.
With all mind and body driven- towards the light
Towards my Cosmos- across space and  across time

So- when I see my battles, across lands-
Instead of lakes and restrained lands-
I catch myself leaning towards to LalaLands-
across the Oceans and across all lands-
In a Cosmos – where all mindandbody become as ONE,
yet- still together- with same body but with different mind.

And as I further explore my Cosmos across time-
and cross the borders of mind and sky
The ONE Cosmos is in my mind- 
and always guiding,  my secret land-
Across the Oceans and cross all lands-

And when I travel- across all lands-
I see the wisdom that leads to ONE-
The land of wisdom that leans all minds
Beyond your wisdom- and beyond mine.
​The land where wisdom- Transcend with light
The ONE- where body can heal all minds-
and still- the unreal- is already ONE-
Within our bodies within our mind.

So- instead of countrysides, lakes- and small lands-
Don't choose the battles that block your mind
And fight all battles with all your heart- 
and any barrier- that shadows light
and share this pathway across all Lands
to all the pathways that leads to ONE


And seek for wisdom across lakes and lands
And learn the pathway- that leads to light
Travel the Oceans-  and across all lands-
to find the answers- that lead to one
beyond your wisdom and beyond mine.
Where light and wisdom unite as ONE 
Across the Oceans and across all lands

And as the Games will bring the Light 
The Games of HOPE will light this Land  
across  all Cosmos- with all our minds
expand our senses- beyond our minds –
where mind and body- can lean to ONE
The space where mindnbody expands as one
And join our efforts- across all lands 
and fight as ONE
In the land of the rising sun

To unite our Cosmos- across all lands
And expand our Cosmos-
​both yours and-surely- mine

 
(It sounds better if you read this with a Southernnnn AccentTTT)
 
 
Thank you, Universe,

Olympia Lyronea: 2020 is finally Here

2020 is finally here. The beginning of a new year. New decade, new beginnings and new (old) resolutions.  
 
Blogging was never my strength- but a good friend and colleague keeps bugging me on this matter (since 2012). So, Craig, this is our 8th Bugging Year Anniversary without delivering- so I will  at least give it a try. This is my first 2020 (Olympic) Year resolution- and wish to start this year/decade with a public commitment to blogggggginngggK (with accent)- at least once a week.

The goal- and strong drive- is to show commitment in putting on a piece of paper, expressions, thoughts, inspirations, frustrations, visions-  on academic and non-academic topics (WITH typos) .

My challenge, is to put- no more than 500 words on a piece of paper (worddoc paper to be precise)- as per the guidelines given by Dr. Craig Zelizer and PCDN (by the way- if you are reading this – you should also check out their great new website and amazing work they do across the globe)- everything should start with a definition. So question #1. What is blogging.

Based on Craigian Wisdom “ There is no standard length for a blog, but in general a good blog will be longer than a Tweet (140 characters) and many experts suggest shorter than 500 words (but of course this varies widely according to the audience and content). (Craig Zelizerian wisdom, 2019 – and don't forget to login and subscribe) 

Remove every challenge that can be an obstacle for keeping this committed- so blogging should not take more than 27 minutes. (what do you think Craig? What does your wisdom say about time)

Talking about time- the goal is to …“block, blogging time - and space- in artistic- out of the box writing.

Definition #2. What is Lyroneia? Lyronea is lyroneia/ ΛΥΡΟνεια refined- ειρωνια Λυρικής Προελεύσεως)- Soooo: for the non-greek speakers, Lyronea is a concept I got from my muses few years ago-  and I thought about revising it- to give more meaning and dimensions to the worddd- (Lyras is my last name by the way) not Lairas- nor Liras. The first is bad pronunciation. The second- is a currency- (bir lira- Μιά Λίρα- ΕΝΤ ιφ γιου καν νοτ προναουνς Ιτ– το μυαλό σου και μια Λίρα – Thanks for reminding me the expression my dear ΝΥfriend ).  
 
Concentrate: Lyra (Apollo's, and Muses music instrument Note to elaborate another day)
 
The type of writing will have multiple dimensions free falling of creative writing shots of espresso- in other words- small in size but strong in richness.
So-  what does Olympia Lyronea stands for? For the moment- there are three dimensions (we can add more later on). The first- refers to a safe space for writing and expression of anything that comes to my mind without filter.

Olympia refers to content- as well as process- Inspirations from Olympia (the mountain at the backgrounddd picture) (in greek- τεηκ a ΛούΚ behind δισ τεξτ). THANK YOU for the picture, Randeep sensei) – as well as the Olympian Heritage …most famous mountain  by the way (make a note and underline to write more about it in future bloggingggzzz) TIAS students will soon be there (2020 Flame ceremony study trip student requirement #1: like and share if you are reading this)

Lyronea- in GreekKKK (with or without accent) sounds like LyroNews. News updates and throughs I wish to share with my colleagues, friends and students.
 
Lyroneia (with greekglish typo) has another Rooot. It seeks to blend news, inspirations, creative, out of the box writing- in search of- and for reaching closer to ….the truth- real and ideal. My road to Olympia in other words- with a 2020 pit stop road to Tokyo and Fuji Mountain (#roadtotokyo #roadtoFuji #ViaOlympiaroundabout)

Eironeia – Irony (Ειρωνεία)  (anoooother Greeek Fat wedding wooord) in the context of Socratic Irony and Tragic Irony (more words that lost their meaning in translation).

If we exclude the words I used from another source (copy-paste from PCDN)- we are good to go. Reached the goal 591
