“Diasporic Literature” έκδοση 6 - edition 6

Σε μια προσπάθεια συνέχισης της παράδοσης που

χαράξαμε, εφόσον η τεχνολογία μας το επιτρέπει,

πλαισιώνουμε αυτή τη λογοτεχνική δημιουργία και με

μουσική υπόκρουση επί του ποιήματος του Τάκη

Χατζηαναγνώστου με τίτλο "Σήκωσε το κεφάλι σου",

του οποίου τη μελοποίηση έκανε ο Άρις Αντάνης.

In an attempt to relate literature with painting and

music composition, this issue of "Diasporic Literature" is

published with the tradition that it has built over the years

to appear with background music. This music is composed

by Aris Adanis in the lyrics of a poem by Taki

Hatzianagnostou from the island of Lesvos titled "Hold

your head up high".

Prologue

Diasporic Literature/Διασπορική Λογοτεχνία/Literatura de Diasporic - http://diasporic.org Issue 6 Vol. 1, April 2015

In light of our daily lives, bathed in the life-giving brightness of sunlight which visits this

planet waiting to see our deeds to show respect, making us worthy of this godly

gift, here we have gathered, around a global table of art and creativity. We tasted its

never-ending substantia nigra, a reflection of our actions when we sat down to praise

life in all its forms around our planet and to pay respects to its everlasting beauty.

Writers and artists in this edition cannot be pinned to the circumstances of the

countries they live in; they do not conclude at the end of their road and certainly

never say ‘enough’. Writers and artists in this and every other edition of “Diasporic

Literature” contribute to the libation of repaying our gratitude, on behalf of

humanity, to nature and all that it is made of which we have found with our arrival.

Making a small contribution here, we also express appreciation to Ancient Greece and

its bright light penetrating the darkness in the powerful yet fragile world. We express

thanks to the philosophers, writers, artists, scientists and all others who betrothed so

much for us to enjoy and empowered us the responsibility to call ourselves and act

civilised.

Primarily though we should like to show that we appreciate nature with all its

elements, those we have been taught by and recounted in our experiences. Respect to

nature so necessary; an obligation of showing unarguable appreciation.

Enjoy this sixth edition of “Diasporic Literature”, an edition that shows that people of the

Diaspora hold this respect as second nature, a respect towards everything

geometrized, if we could remember the writings of Plato “God always geometrizes”.

Υπό την σκέπη της καθημερινότητας, λουσμένης μέσα στο ζωοδόχο φως του βασιλιά

ήλιου που κάθε μέρα μας επισκέπτεται καρτερώντας τις πράξεις εκείνες που θα μας

κάνουν αντάξιους του θείου αυτού δώρου, συγκεντρωθήκαμε γύρω από το τραπέζι της

πνευματικής δημιουργίας. Ήπιαμε από τον ατέρμονα μέλανα ζωμό της αντανάκλασης

των πράξεών μας και καθίσαμε να υμνήσουμε τη ζωή σε όλο τον πλανήτη, να

προβληματιστούμε και να γευτούμε από την ομορφιά του.

Οι συγγραφείς και οι καλλιτέχνες εδώ δεν περιορίζονται από τις συνθήκες των χωρών

που προέρχονται και αντιπροσωπεύουν, δεν σταματούν στις άκρες του υπαρκτού και

φανταστικού δρόμου της ζωής και δεν λένε ποτέ ‘αρκετά’. Οι συγγραφείς και οι

καλλιτέχνες ακατάπαυστα συμβάλλουν στις σπονδές απόδοσης ευγνωμοσύνης στη

φύση και σ’ αυτά που βρήκαμε γύρω μας καθώς φτάσαμε εδώ.

Ευχαριστούμε και τιμούμε την Αρχαία Ελλάδα και το Φως της που διαπεραστικό

έφτασε σε όλη την οικουμένη. Ευχαριστούμε τους μεγάλους μας φιλοσόφους,

συγγραφείς, καλλιτέχνες, επιστήμονες και όλους τους άλλους με τη νουθεσία των

οποίων και την κατάθεση των έργων τους έχουμε κι εμείς σήμερα πολιτισμό.

Κυρίως όμως πρέπει να ευχαριστήσουμε τη φύση και τα στοιχεία της, τους ανθρώπους

που μας τα αποκάλυψαν, μας τα εξιστόρησαν, μας τα γνώρισαν. Γιατί το σέβας προς το

περιβάλλον δεν είναι απλά απαραίτητο, είναι ευθύνη και ένδειξη σεβασμού του κάθε

ενάρετα σκεπτόμενου ανθρώπου.

Απολαύστε την έκτη έκδοση της «Διασπορικής Λογοτεχνικής Στοάς», μια έκδοση από

εκείνες που αποδεικνύουν ότι ο Ελληνισμός της Διασποράς και της πατρίδας

διακατέχεται από το απαιτούμενο σέβας προς πάντα τα «γεωμέτρητα» ενθυμούμενοι

τους λόγους του Πλάτωνα «αεί ο Θεός γεωμετρεί».
