They're words, not science, they're words, not images and, even not the better ones, they come from the heart, as a comet... ULTREYA! Truth hides behind time And a new chaint rises. Earths hide behind Earth And a new chaint rises. Onward! Onward! New tides of evolution... Onward! Onward! Dust Wind Sand Land... We follow among rocky waves, towards us, We follow among watery islands, towards us. Onward! Onward! Truth hides behind time... Onward! Onward! Man dreams, Spirit touches... Onward! Onward! Step by step, building our descendents steps. Rui Borges aka ustrax -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!" Edgar Alan Poe

Oh, gee, wow! I never really expected to find someone else who even knew who he was. QUOTE (ustrax @ Dec 23 2005, 04:00 AM) Oh! And Zorba too... Those were two of his most popular works. I hesitate to go on, since this is so off-topic for this forum, but I guess this one is your topic, ustrax. You asked for a suggestion, and I can make one, with a disclaimer. I gave a copy of this to my best friend a while back. It's only about 22 pages long, but he told me he'd kill me if I ever gave him anything else like that to read. Be forewarned. It's one of those pieces you need to work at to appreciate. My favorite Kazantzakis work was called, "The Saviors of God." If you (or anyone else, for that matter) want to ignore my warning, send me an email at my forum name@gmail.com. I might be able to find you a copy in the filetype of your choice. I guess if someone would prefer, I could post the file here, but I am not certain of it's copyright ownership. I'm certain the author wouldn't have a problem with a certain amount of "fair use" to spread his words. -------------------- ...Tom I'm not a Space Fan, I'm a Space Exploration Enthusiast.
