❝ Moving waves, the wind has left you and you are still in commotion.
We are still repeating the word it has taught us,
It moves our whole being to ecstasy.
Waves, why do you all become excited and then all calm together?
Because behind our individual action there is one impulse working.
Rising waves, what motive is behind your impulse?
The desire to reach upwards ❞

Enjoy!

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
