Ithaca

Ithaka by the Greek poet Cavafy is a real favourite on mine. Its about the importance of the journey:

When you start on your journey to Ithaca,
then pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge

My resolution for 2012 is to write more and learn to take beautiful photographs and this particular journey starts here.

as long as your thought is lofty, as long as a rare
emotion touch your spirit and your body.
The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,
angry Poseidon - you will not meet them
unless you carry them in your soul,
unless your soul raise them up before you.
