Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

No more 9/11

11/09/2008 by Nikita

Love One Another

Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together.
For the pillars of the temple stand apart.
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.

Khalil Gibran

    Hi Wipneus…dankie! Hierdie gedig se dit nogal op ‘n mooi manier! dat jy eintlik nie mekaar moet “versmoor” nie.

    Hi Nikita, dis vreeslik mooi, wat se VREDE, beter as ‘n wit perd.
    Ek het myself verloor in die politieke wereld die afgelope dae, dit is siek.
    Gaan nou al my vriende se blogs lees, is ver agter.
    Mooi dag vir jou!
