“Administration, which calls for the application of wide knowledge and many personal qualities, is above all the art of handling men, and in this art, as in many others, it is practice that makes perfect. ”

- Henry Fayol

Όσο περνά ο καιρός συνειδητοποιώ πως αυτό που με πονά πιο πολύ στο εμεις δεν είναι το παρόν ή το παρελθόν, αλλά το ουτοπικό μας μέλλον.

Που και που, όταν με κουράζει η δυστοπία κρύβομαι στην ουτοπία μας και για μια στιγμή μονάχα μετανιώνω.

Έπειτα φεύγω όλο και μακρύτερα από εμάς κι εσύ -σαν την ειμαρμένη, με ακολουθείς όπου κι αν πάω.

Αλήθεια, δεν κουράστηκες;

Η ναυτιλία είναι για τους ανθρώπους των πράξεων.⚓

Ήρθε.

Και φώτισε την καταπακτή μου.

Κι' έγινε φως. Ήταν ο ουρανός; Δεν ξέρω.

Ένα μόνο ξέρω

Πως έχασα τη γη.

Underrated Female Ruler

• Empress Theodora of the Byzantine Empire

Theodora,empress, and wife of the emperor Justinian I, was probably the most powerful woman in Byzantine history. Her intelligence and political strategy made her Justinian’s most trusted adviser and enabled her to use the power and influence of her office to promote religious and social policies that favoured her interests.

Theodora is remembered as one of the first rulers to recognize the rights of women, passing strict laws to prohibit the traffic in young girls and altering the divorce  laws to give greater benefits to women.This represented unparalleled social mobility for women at the time. It gave many women access to power.

Before becoming empress, she had once been a concubine in the service of one of these provincial governors. She knew only too well the kind of power these men had over women.

That's why she spent much of her reign trying to mitigate the laws against the miaphysites. She saw to it that women could own and inherit property, which was quite a breakthrough because it gave daughters and wives real social power.

“Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.”

— Maya Angelou

Ανησυχες και φουρτουνιασμενες.

Οι οχθες δεν είναι για εμας.
