Why I loved Death Since my puberty I hear "You’re too much for me, do not come near" They were afraid of strong feelings, ecstatic passions that pierce the ceilings They were afraid of the edges living Running away from life’s dealing So, in love with Death I fell Grabbing a cause to rebel I loved midnight rides I loved fast cars Super loud music Poetic rock stars I loved abandonment And walking away And all the mornings that were gone ashtray I loved hurting And being hurt And all the men that shared my bed I loved those who wanted to thrill me But mostly those who wanted to «kill» me Then I realized that Death loved me back He was always there watching my track "Something is wrong with you", he said "You throw away all the love you get" I was the one who was afraid to love Cause Love is Death and Death is Love  

  "River is running covers my feet stones are burning under the heat Naked Alone waterfall play nymphs comin' round dance through a ray Morning bliss stay forever inside I try to catch you but you fly so high A moment of life covers all my tears A moment of joy covers all my fears" - "Joy" by Alkistis Voulgari - "Waterfall play" is part of a larger project that has as a base the natural landscape and its interaction with the human presence. The performer opens herself to the different circumstances, plays with the elements, the landscape, the sounds, the light and co-creates a dance, a moving piece, a performance or a film with the natural rhythm, motion and notion of each moment. Eventually, the greater part of the work is improvised but the practise of body and spirit within nature is continual and growing.

Δεν πρέπει ασέβεια να δείχνεις στα θεϊκά πράγματα. Τα μεγάλα λόγια με μεγάλες πληγές πληρώνουν οι αλαζόνες και μυαλό βάζουν στα γεράματα ».  https://www.grethexis.com/antigones-death-creons-devastation/ Κι ενώ τη φοβάμαι αυτή τη φράση, μου προξενεί δέος, τη διυλίζω μέσα μου και με μέτωπο καθάριο και φωνή στεντόρεια αρχίζω να φωνάζω κι εγώ : « ΟΥΑΙ ΟΥΑΙ !!!

Just Another Road Story by Alkistis Voulgari One of my road favourites :) " A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall " , THE FREEWHEELIN' ALBUM , Bob Dylan Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’ I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’ I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
