Myths and Legends Across the WorldMyths and legends are somewhere deep in the subconscious of every nation, often unique and wonderful tales, yet different from other stories - once they were alive. People lived with them, considered them true... and in a way, they are all true. They are a part of our heritage, and with every legend forgotten, something inside us dies. I wandered wide and far through dA to gather these tales. Sit down by the fire and listen…

Shadows of Nan ElmothO golden cage of Gondolin,                 is covetousness a crime?
Behind the bars a bird                       felt freedom for first time
Aredhel Ar-Feiniel                                    and Eöl, elven smith
Found wonder in the woods,    between branches didn’t breathe
As she in the shade stood                  he saw her beauty bloom
Love piercing as a lance                         in the gathering gloom
Her freedom loving heart                   in shadows shimmers light

Magic TreesTrees have always been something more than just plants to the mankind. The worship of trees might be forgotten, but still the symbol of tree survives in our subconscious. Almost every nation has myths and legends about trees, placing the tree as the central axis of the world, or worshipping it as a dwelling place of gods or spirits, the giver of knowledge, connection between worlds or as ancestors of the tribe.   
In Norse mythology, a giant ash tree - Yggdrasil - represents "axis mundi", around which the 9 worlds (the world of people - Middle-earth, being one of them) are organized. A giant snake, Níðhöggr, gnaws at its roots, but they always grow anew.

The biblical Tree of Knowledge has even some similarities to Yggdrasil. The snake is present, also, an
Eala EarendelSleep, my child...
Close your eyes under the blanket of night
A little longer
A little more time
Until you know how unfair the fate has been to you
Until you know what time you have been born into
Sleep, my child...
In sweet ignorance of dreams
Just for a while longer you can be
Like the Lords of the West who do not care
For you, for us
For your unfair fate
Sleep, my child,
And please...
Do not be angry at me
For bringing you into this dark world
Where hope is far and future dimmed
By the black wings of smoke
From Thangorodrim
***
Look, my child!
A new star is rising!
Sailing on the waves of sky
Gil-Estel
A holy flame
A spark to ignite new hope for tomorrow
They did not forget...

"When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. The second best time? Today."
- Chinese proverb
Trees are important, valuable and necessary to our very existence. It's not too hard to believe that, without trees we humans would not exist on this beautiful planet. Trees are the largest and longest living organisms on earth. To grow tall the tree has become a miracle of engineering and a complex chemical factory. It is able to take water and salts out of the earth and lift them up to the leaves, sometimes over 400 ft above. By means of photosynthesis the leaves combine the water and salts with carbon dioxide from the air to produce the nutrients which feed the tree. In this process, as well as wood, trees create many chemicals, seeds and fruit of great utility to man. Trees also remove carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, from

NaPoWriMo & treasure huntIt's April 30th, time to summarize this year's NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month). I managed to write 30 poems in 30 days, but I didn't post them all in my gallery. (Even so, I believe I spammed your inboxes with all that poetry :) Soon I'll get to finishing the drawings I had no time for, I hope! And some fractals and photos...) I didn't post those that most of you wouldn't understand, as they are in Slovak. I submitted them to sta.sh, though, and so you can take a look at them as well. Here is the complete list of my poems for NaPoWriMo 2012:
1. Rochallor http://fav.me/d4uuvyl - tanka
2. Éala Éarendel http://fav.me/d4uupwo - free verse
3. Heavenly Dance http://fav.me/d4uyhia - cinquian
4. Svitanie (Dawn) http://sta.sh/0jyv7i2tneg - in Slovak
5. Music of Ainur http://fav.me/d4v63ib - diagonal
6. Johanka z Arku (Joan d'Arc) http://sta.sh/01pw2ia6dn33 - song in Slovak
7. Fénix http://sta.sh/02kmdqmciso - diagonal in Slovak
8. Caves of the Forgotten http://fav.me/d4
Why I don't leaveThe recent months have been quite hard for Slovakia (our little country in the middle of Europe). In October, our government fell because of a dissagreement if we should support the Euro Bail-Out. Now we have a temporary governement and election coming in March, but it seems that there is no party worth a vote - all of them are corrupt, and stealing what they can, as the recently revealed scandal under the name "gorilla" showed: http://www.economist.com/blogs/easternapproaches/2012/01/scandal-slovakia?fsrc=scn/fb/wl/bl/multimillioneuro . Thousands of people are protesting in the streets:

(and besides, ACTA is looming over us all, threatening to destroy the freedom of internet. A petition against it is here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/eu_save_the_internet_spread/ )
A friend asked me why don't I just leave. Many young people do. I speak German and English, and I would find a job abroad easily. But I will not. Why? Because I love this land.
The country...
