A Silver Afternoon, A Book and A Thought about Love

"I lived within vanity, atop the ocean…" "Έζησα μες τη ματαιότητα, και πάνω στον Ωκεανό…"
~Tasos Leivaditis - Small Book, Big Dreams

I visited the ocean after sunset. The sunset was not colorful today, all day, the sky was gray. But that left a great silver veil around everything. The wave, the sea, the clouds - everything looked silver.

I passed next to the very old tamarisk tree, visited the next sandy beach, and saw the shining clouds.

After a while, I took the way to return.

I opened the book and this is the page I read

The book's name is Μικρό βιβλίο για μεγάλα όνειρα "Small book for big dreams" by Tasos Leivaditis.

> Tasos Leivaditis, (Τάσος Λειβαδίτης) was born on January 28, 1922, in Komotini, Greece. He was a prominent Greek poet and author and his work still captivates readers with his profound reflections on life, love, and the human condition.

"Κι όταν δεν πεθαίνει ο ένας για τον άλλον, είμαστε κιόλας νεκροί" ~ "When one does not die for the other, we are already dead."

This quote can have a number of different meanings, but I prefer to leave it to you. You can interpret it as you wish :)

Many of the quotes by T. Leivaditis have marked my life. I hope I will be able to share some more with you soon.
