Most of the times inside the worst damage of the exterior “shell”, Nature keeps the power of the rebirth. The power which helps us to keep walking holding our heads up in the middle of the cyclons, which help humble grass to grow up among the tiny gaps of cement and it is the same power which keeps this planet alive.
Last years, I saw many of my favrite places to be burnt.. Wonderful yew and pine trees burnt down. This year returning there, I saw these places again green. Small plants were there and as a miracle! Small, tiny sensitive yew and pine trees again were streching their leeves to the Sun… and the best: many of the older trees which were burnt (and you though them dead) have green leaves in their wounded branches…Nature has had touched everything with her magic wand!!!

“umbrella mechanism” = system particular to poteria shrubs. The plant burns, the roots survive and feed on the ashes and debris of the burnt plant.

Well, good that your own umbrella mechanism lets some through!

The botanist and the poet can both know the same shrub. The poet knows through her particular experience, the botanist generalises.

Τι ωραία! Στο στοιχείο σου πάλι!
Προχτές μιλούσα με έναν πολύ γκαγκάν τύπο που εξερευνά και διασχίζει φαράγγια και κατεβαίνει καταρράκτες και τέτοια, και μου έλεγε ότι οι Έλληνες δεν αξίζουν, δεν έχουν παιδεία κτλ κτλ. Σκεφτόμουν εσένα και του είπα κατάμουτρα ότι κάνει λάθος. Γέλασε πικρά και με κοίταξε περίεργα. Γέλασα κι εγώ πονηρά (σκέφτηκα οτι μάλλον με πέρασε για εθνικιστή, υπερ-πατριώτη) και άλλαξα κουβέντα.
Κι ο ίδιος όμως και η φίλη του ήταν χειροπιαστή διάψευση αυτού που έλεγε. Απλώς γκρίνιαζε. Το οποίο εσύ δεν κάνεις ποτέ. Κι εδώ βρίσκεται η διαφορά στο επίπεδο. Είσαι κάνα-δυο επίπεδα πιο πέρα -κούκλα thornland trekker!..

No surprise that out of all those photos from Reinhard this was the one you chose to blog! This damn mamouni stings like hell! It’s thought to be good bait for fish though. I used it once, my skin got itchy, caught no fish!

That's why given a fisherman and a hunter I prefer the second. At least in the last case you choose your target. In the second you can wait and wait for centuries and in most cases you catch a καλόγρια-fish.

The term ‘worm’ is not accurate. It’s a primitive marine arthropodon like the Scolopendra and like the Scolopendra, they both eat WORMS!

But what makes the first more intriguing is the mystery of the unseen target.

Hey, speaking of fish, the dangerous toxic Lagocephalus (or what ever it is spelled the fish with the “hare’s head”) which has crossed through from the Indian Ocean in the Mediterranean, appeared in the waters around Ikaria. It’s meat is deadly poisonous w/o antidote. There are warning signs all over the island.

D.T. knows and says that the Lagocephalus IS an innocent fish. The people of the Indian ocean know the poisonous parts and get rid of them. The meat tastes like the ordinary Cephalus fish and it is as safe as that common fish.

Εις τσι χειρομυλόπετρες τσ’ αγάπης σου όποιος πέσει
ωσά ντο στάρι σάικα τη νιότη ντου θ’ αλέσει.
Σα ντο σακίζι με μασείς, σα ντ’ άγανο με φτύνεις
και σα ντο ξενικόσταρο στα κάρβουνα με ψήνεις.
Δε σου μαζώνω μπλιο καβρούς, δε μπαίνω μπλιο στα ρυάκια,
για δε μου δίδεις ύστερα όξω τα χαχαλάκια.
Χόντρος στο δώμα εγίνηκα, μικιό μου κορακάλι,
κι έρχεσαι και με καταλείς ψιχάλι γ-καί ψιχάλι.
Του μούρνου τη λερωματέ, το στίμμα τω βατσίνω
μ’ άφηκεν η γι-αγάπη σου, μα δε θα τα ξεπλύνω.
Σαν απού πιάνει το λαγό το τέλι στο ποράλι,
επιάστηκ’ απού το λαιμό στη μπίζηλή σου αγκάλη.
Ασπάλαθος την άνοιξη φορεί χρυσό ν-τακίμι
να σε μερώσω θέλει εγώ κι ας διάχνεις σα ντ’ αγρίμι.

Does anybody know the tale with the fox, the lion and the thorns?

Saturday October 20, 2007 – 02:05pm (EEST) Remove Comment

I have a recollection of a fable with a fox who being chased by a lion or wolf, had no other escape but to fall from a cliff onto a cactus or a thorny bush. Though she was in great pain, knowing that the lion or wolf would wait for her to come out of the thorns to catch her, the fox yelled “Wow! this is wonderful! Aaaah! Ooooh! Aaaah! What a pleasure!”
The lion (or wolf) was very puzzled and asked the fox if she was really experiencing a so pleasant feeling inside those terrible looking thorns. But the fox didn’t reply and went on with her Aaah!s and Oooh!s of pleasure. The lion asked many times, so finally the fox said : “I can’t tell you how wonderful this is. You have to jump down and see for yourself”. And the lion jumped onto the thorns and being much heavier than the fox, he got caught very deep in the needles and wounded very badly.
Now the fox had all the time to get out of the bush or cactus…… and I don’t remember how it ends. I forget the fox’s final words which must have been very good up to the point as always.

Is this the fable you ar looking for, agrimi? There are many other fables with foxes and thorns but I thought that was the one you were looking for. It suits you so much more than ANY OTHER !

Our version is the Uncle Remus tale of Brer Rabbit and the Brier Patch. Fox was upon Brer Rabbit and pondering his fate when Brer Rabbit said, “Whatever you do, please please please don’t throw me in the briar patch!” Well that’s just what the fox did — little did he know that’s where the rabbit lived! Or something like that; this is my recollection from childhood.Monday October 22, 2007 – 07:25am (PDT) Remove Comment

Thank you both! In a way your childhoods had been richer than our generation’s.
I find the second fable is better than the first in cunningness (to make the hunter forget the purpose of hunting –to eat- by exciting the lower irrational instinct –don’t we all have it?- to hurt the hunted as much as possible), but the first fable is better than the second in the acting part (to make the hunter believe that the cries of pain were cries of uttermost pleasure so that the hunter was attracted to jump onto the needles to experience it!).
Thank you again! I can’t explain now, but I had reasons of my own for asking. This fable is important for me.

On Angelos because he has forgotten all about that day when ‘Ikaria 184′ was taken, and on ‘agrimi’ because she didn’t trust my version of the myth and she dared to ask for a second opinion!!!

On my conceit too. The hare went unharmed through the thorns but she was caught and scorched in the charms. I should have been on my guard as soon as I saw Eleni’s first two comments. Given the subject which we share so much interest, they were far too short. But not only did I ignore that fact; I took it as an encouragement to go on. So I fell deeper in, deeper down, and now it’s painful.
Even you forgave me, I am still sorry, soulsis. I told you in private but I would like to say it in public too.p.s. I have changed the motto at the bottop of my page. Have a look. “The smart bird is caught from the nose” (in Greek) -switched to the first person, “I, the smart bird…”

Eleni set Angelos and me a nice little trap to teach us a nice little lesson. Seeing that we had forgotten (or buried in the unconscious) the exceptional things that happened on the exceptional ‘Ikaria 184’ and that she was the one who told that fable in the first place to help us make sense out of them, instead of standing out to remind us, she pretended total ignorance.
She did this to see how far we would go with this. How much we had forgotten; especially I who played such an important part in those events. At least Angelos remembered how the fable went (though he said it was a recollection from childhood), while I remembered only the title.

Thursday October 25, 2007 – 01:54pm (EEST) Remove Comment

Having remembered (and it was thanks to you SG who pointed out at that old photo and Eleni’s comment under it), our first reaction was to take it as a heavy blow to our ego and to our conceit. But this case is of rather mental analytic interest. You know, when things are so far out-of-ordinary and our minds can’t handle, they are sort of erased from our memory. I am very rational and practical person and this –strangely- happens to me very often. I have seen other rational and practical persons cop it the same way. Yet although I know and I have seen, I forget that I know and that I have seen it happen to others.

Thursday October 25, 2007 – 01:54pm (EEST) Remove Comment

As far as I know, there is no popular saying to illustrate even by far this situation. Lore (so rational and practical) prefers to send this kind of stuff over to religion or magic. “The smart bird gets caught from the beak (nose)” gets very near but not quite to the point. However, it has a lot to do with forgetfulness in so that a smart self-confident person when facing a tricky situation tends to forget and put to the side common (dummy) knowledge. By doing so, he/she often falls head first in the trap, and what’s worse, he/she makes a fool of him/herself!

Thursday October 25, 2007 – 01:57pm (EEST) Remove Comment

If my soulsister, let’s say, had intervened after Angelos told the fable, by a comment such as “Do you remember that day?” or “It was I who told you that fable!”, the spell would be broken; perhaps not much but there would surely be a crack. We would then say “Oh I forgot! How could I?” (lapsus memori) and it would be alright. But Eleni wanted to teach us a lesson; make us never forget, or at least, make us remember that we forget. I don’t know about Angelos, but as far as I am concerned, I can’t afford forgetting, especially at this point of my life when I am so deep into taking decisions. It will be on the side of the extraordinary, I know, and that’s hard to take in. I shouldn’t forget how far have I gone into the extraordinary already.That was Eleni’s lesson.

I have to close now and go mend my beak. It’s still bleeding a little.

a big thank you, Smart Bird, for unpecking it all for me. At least you are the kind of fowl that digests lessons!(Reminds me of Aesop’s young mole too:

A mole, a creature blind from birth, once said to his mother: “I am sure that I can see, mother!”
His mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked, “What is this then, if you can see?’
The young mole screwed up his eyes and said, “It’s a pebble.”
His mother said, “My son, not only are you blind, but you seem to have lost your sense of smell as well.”
)

I hadn’t imagined that there were exceptional things that happened in 184 – it all looks beautiful, but kind of, well, inanimate. I should have known.

I feel like I am in debt so this one is on me. What we see in ‘Ikaria 184′ as well as in many other of Eleni’s photos, is just the stage, the set, the setting where many things happened. When somebody gets an idea of that, it does then seem inanimate and maybe a little sad too, like a theatre after the performance.
That’s all I can say. I can sense there is still quite a lot of tension in the air. Not that I don’t like this, goes without saying. But let first clear the decks and the wind take away the smoke of the battle.

I have been reading – and keeping out of this with great interest – I was wondering when someone would catch on to Eleni’s duplication. You see, I remember 184 too, as strangely, it set a scene where things happened for me too – at exactly the same time, and trapped me in this bush – which is hard to get out of.

@ SG : Thank you for the fable. Soothed my soul.
@ AKK : you ‘ve gone to the limit. It’s ok. Somehow you ought to. But say no more. If you do, Eleni, DT and I are determined to refute. Maybe one day in the far future there will be an exhibition in an art room (taraaam taraaam) but until then :) ): sssshhhht…
@ Jude : the perfect summary ):( thank you!

The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) Σφήκα η Κοινή (η ‘Φαηδόνα’ της Ικαρίας)

__________________________________
The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) is a wasp found in much of the Northern Hemisphere, and introduced to Australia and New Zealand. It is a eusocial vespid, which builds its grey paper nest underground, often using an abandoned mammal hole as a start for the site, which is then enlarged by the workers. The foundress queen may also select a hollow tree, wall cavity, or rock crevice for a nest site.

Θηριώδης σφηκοφωλιά μέσα σε παλιό ξυλόφουρνο σε σπίτι στην Ικαρία

Ξέρω μια γυναίκα εδώ που είναι τόσο “καλή” που την παρανομάζουν “φαηδόνα”. Πήγαινα να κουρευτώ και χωρίς καλά-καλά να με ξέρει, γύρισε καιμου είπε, “Καλά τι να το κάνεις το κούρεμα εσύ; Δεν κοιτάς τα χάλια σου! Το κούρεμα σου ΄λειπε”
Ι know a woman here who is so “nice” that they call her “the wasp”. Once I met her on my way to the barber’s. We hardly know each other. Yet she turned and told me, “Hey, what do you need a haircut for? Don’t you see you are total wreck? A haircut won’t save you.”

Now she wasn’t all wrong about you that “wasp” -:lol:-
Νανούλι κι εσυ φαίνεσαι επικίνδυνο και βουίζουμε κα μαλώνουμε και μετά …υποχωρείς. Έτσι δεν λες πως κάνει η σφήκα; Μόνο που εγώ είμαι ταυρίνα και δεν ξέρω υποχώρηση. Δεν έχω ιδέα τι είναι αυτό και πως γίνεται. Πόσο λυπάμαι.

αδεσποτούλι, μόλις φθινοπωριάσει θα αφιερώσω πολλά blog entries στα μαμούνια που φωτογράφισες στην Ικαρία. Το έχω υπόψη μου και σ’΄ευχαριστώ!

Αυτό το palio-mamouni, λένε οι γειτόνοι της Ελένης, είναι μια «καλή» σπιτική αράχνη. Δυστυχώς, μέσα στη φούρια του νοικοκυριού, ξέχασα το όνομά της και τον λόγο που είπαν πως είναι καλή.

Cool photo! Sorry, the spider is familiar but I can’t remember the name either.

Αραχνοφοβία… Δεν ξέρω αν είναι καλή ή κακιά η αράχνη αυτή σίγουρα πάντως δε θα κοιμόμουνα ήσυχη με κάτι τέτοιο μέσα στο σπίτι!

Α, σε ευχαριστώ ‘aveta’ που με το σχόλιο σου μου θύμισες να γράψω. Ανακάλυψα, νομίζω, το λόγο που τη θεωρούν “καλή”. Την είδα να σκοτώνει και να τρώει φαηδόνες! Και μια που είπα για φαηδόνες, καλά θα κάνω να ανασκουμπωθώ να γράψω γι’ αυτό το threat. Αν και δεν έχει πολλές φέτος.

το λένε ΚΑΜΑΤΕΡΟ! από το ‘κάματος’ =όλο δουλειά! Όλο τρέχει πέρα δώθε και κυνηγάει τις μεγάλες χοντρές μύγες, αλογόμυγες και τις άλλες που τις λένε “μπαζόμυγες” στην Ικαρία. Είναι δηλαδή πολύ ωφέλιμο (όπως λένε, αν και ο όρος χωράει πολύ συζήτηση)
