And don’t cultivate Violence. Violent behaviour is bad For a poor man. Even a rich man can’t afford it But it’s going to bog him down in Ruin some day. There’s a better road around the other way Leading to what’s right. When it comes down to it Justice beats out Violence. A fool learns this the hard way.

Hesiod (Works and Days)

The Cave of Sleep

Near the land of the Cimmerians, there is a cave carved into the rock, a hollow mountain, the house and resting place of drowsy Sleep, where the rays of Phoebus (Helios/Sun) can never shine, not when he is rising, or half way round, or sinking down, a place where earth exhales mists mingling with the darkness, in a twilight of uncertain gloom.

Here no crested cock calls for Aurora (Dawn) with his wakeful cries. No voices of uneasy hounds or geese (more vigilant than dogs) break the silence, no wild animals, or cattle, or branches swaying in the wind, or strident noises from human tongues.

There quiet silence reigns.

But from the very bottom of the rock streams of Lethe’s waters run, murmuring as they glide across the whispering stone, inducing sleep.

In front of the cave door, rich beds of poppies grow, with countless herbs, and from their juices damp Night gathers sleep and scatters it across the darkened earth.

In the entire cavern there is no door, in case some moving hinge should make a noise, nor any watchman by the entranceway. A bed stands in the middle of the cave, raised on black ebony, dark and downy, covered with black sheets, where the god himself is lying down, his limbs relaxed in sleep.

Around him everywhere lie unformed Dreams resembling various shapes, as numerous as ears of harvest grain, or forest leaves, or particles of sand cast up on shore.

The Home Of Rumour

There is a place in the centre of the world, between earth, sea, and sky, at the limits of the three-fold universe where all things which exist anywhere, even far away, are seen and where all voices penetrate attentive ears.

In this place Rumour lives.

Here she has chosen herself a dwelling, at the very summit of a citadel with a thousand doorways and entrances, but not a single gate to bar the way, so the place stands open day and night.

Built all of echoing brass, it mutters, repeating voices and echoing sounds it has picked up. There is no quiet spot inside, no silence anywhere.

But still, there is no loud din, only the subdued noise of voices murmuring, the kind of sound waves of the ocean often make when heard from far away or the rumbling produced by a final thunder roll when Jupiter (Zeus) makes the clouds collide.

An unruly crowd fills up the halls, a fickle common throng, which comes and go. A thousand rumours, combining falsehood with the truth, wander here and there, passing around misleading chat.

Some of these fill empty ears with gossip, and some bear stories they have heard elsewhere. The number of made-up tales keeps growing, as every author alters what he heard by adding something new.

Here one can find Credulity and hot-headed Error, empty Joy, alarming Fears, instant Sedition, and Whispers whose origin is unknown.

Rumour herself sees everything going on in heaven, land, and sea, and asks about events the whole world over.

quoted from Metamorphoses by Ovid

#metamorphoses #ovid #ovid's metamorphoses

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!

Don Quijote (Cervantes)

#don quijote #cervantes #don quixote

And in my view, nothing one can see is ever sweeter than a glimpse of one’s own native land. That’s how true it is there’s nothing sweeter than a man’s own country and his parents, even if he’s living in a wealthy home, but in a foreign land away from who gave him life.

Yogurt for ...

“Agile & Lean practices must be understood as though the practitioner himself had discovered them from his own mind. Learn about all of them, but never become fond of any.” -- Yogurt

Agile and Lean practices should be perceived in a broader sense, without locking into a methodology, prescription or rigid rules. A better approach is to regard it as a mindset, and a culture we should strive to nurture. This attitude requires continuous improvement, and everlasting focus on experiments, validation, adaptation, ...and practice, practice, practice!

Go... Go to far away places!

You can't come back, unless you go away.

You can't find yourself, unless you let loose.

Wandering into the unknown is a quest into thyself..!

call for Feedbackers

Today is full moon, a beautiful day for some good news...

Humbly my second book is approaching its final stages; that’s the dawn of Yogurt-TWO! :-)

Well, I’ve been rumbling between two book projects for long time, both interconnected with commonalities and differences. Sometimes it feels like having two different personalities in oneself, with conflicting interest at early phases but always in need for each other. While striving to maintain that fuzzy interconnection, I decided to focus only on one book project at a time!

That book project (code name: Yogurt-TWO) required more of analytical and practical style. Therefore, I’ve strived to write about reusable techniques, and discoveries from continuous practice, experimentations…

Given the fact that I’ve been crafting for a long enough time, action required to seek for and embrace open feedback! Hereby I’m sharing the news, and asking for your contribution.

If you want to contribute, please nominate yourself HERE >>

Sharing is Caring… Together We DO!
