Häromdagen var jag på en liten föreläsning som hölls här i Glyfada. Bl.a läste författaren Charalambos Vasilakis upp en en kort berättelse han skrivit på fri vers inför Morsdag idag. Ja, liksom i många andra länder är det Morsdag i Grekland idag.
Alla besökare fick generöst nog ett exemplar av häftet "Παράθυρο στην ποίηση της μητρικής αγάπης" - "Fönster till poesin om moderskärleken".
Det är en rörande berättelse om en mamma som gör allt för att hitta sitt försvunna barn. Än mer rörande då författaren och hans fru förlorat en son i en trafikolycka.
Jag tycker mycket om teckningen på häftet! Undrar vem som är konstnären?
The other day I was on a small lecture here in Glyfada, where among other things the writer Charalambos Vasilakis was reading a short story he had written thinking of Mother's Day today. Like in many other countries it's Mother's Day in Greece today.
All visitors were generously given a copy of the booklet "Παράθυρο στην ποίηση της μητρικής αγάπης" - "Window to the poesy of maternal love".
It's a touching story about a mother who does everything possible to find her missing child. Even more touching as the author and his wife have lost a son in an accident.
I like very much the drawing on the booklet! I wonder who is the artist?
Fick syn på denna fantastiskt fina målning av en afrikansk kvinna med sitt barn av Jonene Ficklin.
Happened to see this beautiful painting of an African woman with her child in her arms by Jonene Ficklin. Lovely, isn't it?!
Have a wonderful Mother's Day! ♥
