Do you have a Vision

Do you have a Vision

The world is mute
No, I don’t have any vision of my own at the moment… ha,…I’m ” tangled up in Blue! ” It,s the permanent sense of man’s ignorance. Where things are often vague, doubtful and complicated, I have trouble to survive. It’s  this fuzzy period in  the world, where anything is possible , but goodwill  have no fertile ground.

My experience… through eyes of  flat illusions. My surroundings… full of digital gadgets? I Couldn’t find the way to people with these toys, who  maybe would be interested in my willingness and wrongness.  I’m still a prisoner of  Lost Heart. Fuck you Leonard Rubins. Please, get serious…Yahoo!  ;-)

The power of different Gods

The power of different Gods

The Immortals
Ever reeking from the vales of earth Ascends to us life’s fevered surge,
Wealth’s excess, the rage of dearth,Smoke of death meals on the gallow’s verge;
Greed without end, imprisoned air; Murderers’ hands, usurers’ hands, hands of prayer;
Exhales in fœtid breath the human swarn. Whipped on by fear and lust, blood raw,
blood warm, Breathing blessedness and savage heats, Eating itself and spewing what it eats, Hatching war and lovely art, Decking out with idiot craze Bawdy houses while they blaze, Through the childish fair-time mart Weltering to its own decay In the glare of pleasure’s way, Rising for each newborn and then Sinking for each to dust again.


But we above you ever more residing In the ether’s star translumined ice
Know not day nor night nor time’s dividing, Wear nor age nor sex for our device.
All your sins and anguish self-affrighting, Your murders and lascivious delighting
Are to us but as a show Like the suns that circling go, Changing not our day for night;
On your frenzied life we spy, And refresh ourselves thereafter
With the stars in order fleeing; Our breath is winter; in our sight
Fawns the dragon of the sky; Cool and unchanging is our eternal being,
Cool and star bright is our eternal laughter.

*** H. Hesse: Steppenwolf

Kdor daleč gre, svet drugače gleda od tega, kar se mu resnično zdi.
In če doma obuja jih beseda, mu pravijo da govori laži.
Le to verjame ljudstva otopela čreda, kar tiplje, kar ji kažejo oči.
Neizkušenost, ki je doma ostala, bo tej zgodbi malo vere dala.

*** H. Hesse: Potovanje v Jutrovo deželo.vignette-1

To je iskrena prošnja za vašo podporo in pomoč.

Spoštovani obiskovalci!
Že od rane mladosti imam željo po potovanju s kolesom.
Ko sem bil star 12 let sem narisal načrt, ki ga hranim še sedaj. Želel sem preveriti ali je zemlja okrogla. Seveda me je usoda peljala po čisto drugačni poti. Služba, dom in družina. Desetletja ljubečega posvečanja veliki družini mi je podarila nesebičen čut za ljudi. Sezidal sem dom, posadil mnogo dreves, skrbel za družino in počel še marsikaj. Ves čas pa se moje sanje v ozadju niso hotele in želele posloviti…

peacetravelerObčasno smo gostili popotnike z porjavelimi obrazi preko hospitalityclub-a, ki so v meni vedno znova obudili utišano srčno željo.

img_9330Štirje sinovi so sedaj večinoma odrasli in samostojni in čas je da poskrbim za uresničitev svojih sanj. Ko sem lani dopolnil 50 let sem začel, tudi na spodbujanje svoje družine, te sanje uresničevati v realnosti.

Začel sem kolesariti po svoji mali domovini in širiti meje svojih dolgoletnih obzorij, ter trenirati – ves čas z mislimi na veliko pot v širni svet. Spoznati nove ljudi, naravo in celotno naše življenje – neposredno. Imeti osebno izkušnjo...preden…

Ko se tako srečujem z ljudmi ob poti, pogosto pogovor nanese na mir in razumevanju za Zemljo. In tako se rojeva, projekt PEACETRAVELER, v okviru katerega želim z potovalnim kolesom Velotraum prepotovati čimveč sveta.

Predviden načrt – 2010:

Predvidene ture: Od meje do meje Slovenije  in  Bled – Dubrovnik

Predviden načrt – 2011: Santiago de Compostela

Predviden načrt – 2012:
Skandinavija-Anglija-Islandija-Kanada-ZDA-Patagonija-Čile-Nova Zelandija-Tasmanija-Avstralija-Tajska-Himalaja-Karakorum-Turčija-Balkan.
Načrt se glede na aktualno situacijo v svetu tudi spremeni. Doba potovanja ni časovno omejena.


img_1203Seveda sem dolga leta kupoval vso potrebno opremo za daljše potovanje.
Projekt sem predstavljal tudi v okviru umetniških razstav in je, predvsem umetniško, dokumentiran na spletnih straneh www.leonardrubins.com

Takšen projekt pa, razumljivo, ni poceni!
Sem skromen človek, a pri izbiri opreme nisem dopuščal kompromisov na škodo celotnega projekta.

Srčno želim začeti z svojo potjo, dokler ne bom prestar za to. Da pa uresničim svojo željo se obračam na pomoč tudi na vas.

Za podporo mojemu projektu navajam nekaj opcij:
1. Podprite mene kot umetnika! Z nakupom mojih del boste dobili slike vrhunskih detajlov in domišlije. (www.leonardrubins.com) Jaz pa ne bom imel nelagodnega občutka da nekaj od vas dobim zastonj.
2. Podprite me lahko z razno opremo ali hrano za popotnike.
3. Podprete me lahko z sponzoriranjem ali z posebnim popustom pri nabavi opreme.

Za potrebe potovanj pripravljam tudi propagandni material. Občasno bom pisal prispevke za različne lokalne časopise. Na www.peacetraveler.eu bom pisal blog in predstavljal projekt, opremo in celotno idejo. Tako da bo vaš logotip vedno objavljen v okviru vaših zahtev v medijih.

V pričakovanju vašega odziva in razumevanja vas lepo pozdravljam.

apocalypticaZOPET AKTUALNA TEMA – The PIGS FLUE – and other panic stuff … a bo kaj pomagalo, če si damo vrečke na glavo….hm! Nevednost je največji greh človečtva… Yea, right.
:-)

Dejstvo je, da nas bo kmalu preveč. Preveč pohlepnih ljudi, deloholikov, ki bi vsi radi čimprej zaslužili svoj prvi miljon. Treba se bo preprosto …ustaviti. Pa bi večina tako rada da se še naprej “dogaja”.

Apokalipsa (starogrško: ἀποκάλυψις[apokalipsis] = odkritje, odstiranje) označuje zapisano skrivno razodetje, zlasti v povezavi z dogodki ob koncu sveta. Danes v pogovornem smislu izraz apokalipsa večinoma predstavlja konec sveta. Read the rest of this entry »

This  is a sincere request for your support.

Respected visitor!
From my young age I had a strong wish to cycling around the world. When I was 12. I drew a map of tour around the world, which I still posses. I wanted to see if the world is round. Of course it was destiny, which lead me on quite different path in life. A job and big family was my every day reality. Decades of giving an unselfish love to family, awarded me with deep sense for people. Building home, planting trees, doing many things and taking care for my family didn’t stop my secret quest to disappeared from my heart. Occasionally we host some travelers with bright sunny faces (hospitalityclub), who reminded me on my childhood dreams…peacetravelerTime passes so quickly and four of my sons are mostly grown up and independent. Finally time for taking care of my everlasting dreams has come.

img_9330Last year I was 50; and also by family encouragement, I started to take short tours around my small country, just to expand my long lasting family comfort zone and to train. All the time with thoughts on the grand tour.

Knowing people, nature and our Life, directly and to have a personal experience…before…
Meeting people on the road, we often speak about so misused word “Peace” and understanding for Earth needs. And people who knows me sometimes calling me, peace traveler. It was the beginning of PEACETRAVELER project. Under this name I want to take the grand tour.


Estimated Plan – 2010:

Preparatory tours:
Tour the  Slovenia and  Bled to Dubrovnik

Estimated Plan – 2011:

Santiago de Compostela

Estimated Plan – 2012:

Scandinavia-Iceland-England-Canada-US-Patagonia-Chile-New Zealand-Australia-Tasmania-Thailand-Himalaya-Karakoram-Turkey-Balkans.
The plan can be changed regarding the current situation in the world. Length of trip is not limited in time.


img_1203I bought special touring bike (Velotraum) and for years now I am buying necessary equipment for tour.

This project, however, is not cheap! I am a modest man but regarding the choice of equipment, I did’ t allow any compromises to damage the project.
I also present this project in form of art exhibitions which is partly documented on my personal art web page.
(www.leonardrubins.com)

It is my greatest heart wish to start with the project – until I won’t be too old – so, I am turning for assistance with my sincere request.

For supporting PEACETRAVELER here are few options:
1. Support the artist and peacetraveler.With buying my art (www.leonardrubins.com) you will receive professional artwork with myriads of details and imagination. And I won’t have the uncomfortably feeling of getting something from you for free.
2. Support with various equipment, durable food…etc.
3. Support with sponsorship or discount on products.

For proposes of my tour I am preparing advertising material. I will wrote articles for various local newspaper about the PEACETRAVELLER story and equipment I’ll use, making advertisement for all potentially sponsors. On www.peacetraveler.eu I will create blog news. So your logo will always be seen or published in the contest of your requests.

In anticipation of your positive response I am sending greetings and …..godspeed.

I’m in urgent need for front and rear traveling bags (want no other than ORTLIEB ) and basic electronics!

kogamitayaIt’s time to turn a few pages in the World Atlas. After 4½ hours strokes of the wing and a 4.000 km chunk of the South Pacific on board the Boeing plane from Auckland, New Zealand, I’ve crossed the International Dateline, and have thus moved from being about as far east as man can go to about as west as man can go. French Polynesia is the place.

It’s a funny thing, crossing time zones. During the last more than 2 years of cycling east I’ve occasionally sacrificed an hour here, an hour there in order to synchronize with the local time. And then, all of a sudden, the clock’s turned back 24 hours thus giving me an extra day which happened to be Saturday July 5th 2008. It’s not daily fare for me to get an extended weekend for free (but then again, it’s always Sunday in my life as a good girlfriend in Adelaide once told me).

tahiti2French Polynesia is country #4 on my bike expedition around the world. To my delight the temperature’s been tripled compared to Auckland’s 10 winter degrees Celsius, people say Bonjour and Ça va? and drive in the right (that is the right, as opposed to left and opposed to the wrong as well) side of the road which in an odd way seem wrong to me after the last 10 months in the wrong (left, that is) side of the road. Confused? So was I crossing the first few intersections in Tahiti’s capital Papeete.

tahitiI’ve left the introductory tropical coma behind me (it’s more comfortable that it sounds) and lap up new, Tahitian input like a sponge. As expected it’s beautiful, seductively exotic and insanely expensive here. One hour internet’s up to 25 USD, a 2L bucket of ice cream is 17 USD, a kilo of capsicum is 12 USD and I nearly crashed on my bike when I saw a net of oranges (approx. 2 kg) with the proud price tag of 30 USD!

Understandably, I’ve become even more anorectic with my money and survive on tap water, bananas and jam sandwiches. And God bless the French for introducing le baguette which is dirt cheap, fresh, and readily available. But I’m willing to make a few compromises in the culinary department because it is food for the hunger of my paradise dreams to be here in Tahiti and Moorea, without a doubt France’s most sexy accessory as they say.

Bon appétit!
