A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Its loveliness increases
It will never pass into nothingness
But still will keep a bower quiet for us
And a sleep full of sweet dreams and health and quiet breathing
Endymion,J.Keats
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back and all change to silver glass and then you see it.White shores and beyond. A far green country under a swift sunrise
Gandalf
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition
I.Asimov
Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring
C. Sagan
'O me!O life! of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish;what good amid these,O me,O life?
Answer.That you are here that life exists,and identity;that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.'
W.Whitman

200


Well.....its the end of an era.......after putting it up for so long I finally watched Stargate SG1 200 episode.

And it was a bittersweet feeling.

I can only say, possibly overwhelmed and far too emotional to elaborate any further......that it is a proper ending, one that concludes with this phrase :

“ Science fiction is an existential metaphor, that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said: 'Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today — but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all.“

So farewell , Stargate SG1. you will be greatly missed . Oh I'm heartbroken :(

An essay to Man

“Know then thyself, presume not God to scan
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A Being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a God, or Beast;
In doubt his mind and body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such,
Whether he thinks to little, or too much;
Chaos of Thought and Passion, all confus'd;
Still by himself, abus'd or disabus'd;
Created half to rise and half to fall;
Great Lord of all things, yet a prey to all,
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd;
The glory, jest and riddle of the world.”

Alexander Pope

A chat about love

I came across a part of a conversation I had......with someone important enough for me....and anyway as I read across these lines and recognised myself in them I thought I should write them down....to remember how I was in the years to come:)

So here goes...this is a chat about love :)

Anonymous :) says: perhaps we will never know for sure what 'true love' is...

Noys Lambent says :Oh no........
I do not want to make the journey and not fall deeply in love
I do not care if I am crashed by it....I want to live it

Anonymous :) says:
yes... but even if crashed by it... how could you tell if it was 'true love'...

Noys Lambent says :
a
well.....
besides all the usual lovely things that happen to you when you fall in love which resembles being 'high'

life looks more colourful, everything takes new meaning, you feel like singing all the time even though you are lousy at it, you want to make eveyone share your happiness and you can climb the highest mountain....ever felt that?

you suddenly realize what all these crazy singers and poets are talking about and you go 'yes I finally get it'
well after that
you feel your lonely soul comforted by the presence of the loved one

you feel your thoughts shared understood and experienced you feel appreciatted and motivated to become better brighter

you feel loved....its a unique emotion a unique and utterly unearthly experience that justifies being alive for this short period

you also feel a lot of pain......and in various forms

I have never 'shared thoughts' (not sex thoughts)
I have never been 'motivated to become better'

“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.”

How does one's fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark? Is it something that happens right away or is it a slow process?

And can it be reversed?

I guess that no rules apply here sometimes it can sometimes it cannot. Does life just throw in front of you something you didn't expect? And how many times can you believe again?

Countless maybe I am not sure......but as I was watching Stargate SG1 (the final season unfortunattely) I got to thinking that evn though nothing is forever there are certain things that just stay with you and keep you when all other lights go out, like Earendil's light:)

I wonder why nothing can ever be easy or simple for certain people? Probably because these certain people cannot accept a simple life of no thunder lightning......what Thoreau called quiet desperation.

Does a mind that travel unlimited roads guarantee happiness or misery? I guess a little bit of both:) And what happens when you meet another wondering soul......one that for many different reasons chances are really slim that you 'll ever get to travel a part of the path with...just a brief meeting , a random crossing.

I have missed just getting on a plane and landing on a new place of the world, there are so many I haven't seen yet:) I have noticed that ever since Xmas I am much more lonely, less communicative and quite...........well sad...

So I do hope and wish that this irreplaceable sparks......the ones that I so much love and depend on will not perish......

Its strange how a really bad thing, like a destruction at work, a really bad one, can introduce you to other wonderers.....other people you never really thought were out there......

Life is so full of strange and amazing crossings, I guess I have said that before.....

I feel like I have been at a stance this past months....and now I think, I believe, I feel I have to get out of it.....but I don't know how....

Our cosmos......

Explanation: M83 is one of the closest and brightest spiral galaxies on the sky. Visible with binoculars in the constellation of Hydra, majestic spiral arms have prompted its nickname as the Southern Pinwheel. Although discovered 250 years ago, only much later was it appreciated that M83 was not a nearby gas cloud, but a barred spiral galaxy much like our own Milky Way Galaxy. M83, pictured above in a photograph from a Very Large Telescope, is a prominent member of a group of galaxies that includes Centaurus A and NGC 5253, all of which lie about 15 million light years distant. To date, six supernova explosions have been recorded in M83. An intriguing double circumnuclear ring has been discovered at the center of M83.

Hold on to people they're slipping away

I think this is the first day after a week I'm actually home at night and not at work.

More than 3 days I've spent more than 24 hours at work...came home only to sleep and then back again...

The destruction we faced was the worst I've ever seen......how strange that we managed to recover part of our most essential data with the help of Oracle, the company I've had interviews with for the last couple of weeks and expect an answer from.....

Hard times.....and unexpected.

Intelligence....it overcomes all barriers distance, language, culture.....and all that's left is the basic human need of communication and the never ending hope that there is someone out there that can break the boundaries of your loneliness.

I never thought that a voice can heal the wounds of a past not so distant , not entirely but still at an extent unimaginable.

How can you miss someone you've never met?
