Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember about the knowledge and peace that may go from the past.

Try to show everyday respect mainly to your Mother and your Father, who gave you the extraordinary and amazing life on this planet.

They presented you also the love and all best values they could, and remember also they had their father and mother too, and all ancestors from the  past.

Showing the tribute to your parents and their ancestors, see their life, photographs, find the family records in old books, search names, and the places of their ancestors, find the places where all they walked, lived, dreamed and died.

Now, the most important; your God, whatever you conceive Him to be, gave you this exceptional imagination, that differs us from the stones.

Try to imagine the life of your ancestors, their every morning and sunset, their dreams and myths, song and dances, all is part of yourself in your blood and genes.

You will uncover also the unknown lands, the old chapels on the local cross-roads, the Gods of their and your homes and lands.

The past could tell us so much, about the present and future; with all this kind of imagination, and with this knowledge, one can cross the border of the universe.

So, with every day of your extraordinary and wonderful life, look for your personal Atlantis, it is so close.

Go slowly and with peace, enjoy your achievements, share them with others, even the dull and ignorant, they too have their ancestors.

This present time of showing respect to things, food, magazines, buildings and museums of objects as trophies is ending, and a new era with all these values of memory and imagination is coming.

Be gentle with yourself, strive to be happy, and follow this search as far as you can, with all this cruel everyday fight to have better and more expensive things, it is still a beautiful world.

Go
