ZOPET 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…Time 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.

Last 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.

I 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.

… Journey is destination – Destination is journey…

Anyone who goes far, the world looks different from what it really seems.
And if at home evoking by the word, they say, he is telling lies.
Only this believes the people dulled herd, which gropes, which shows the eyes.
Inexperience, that has stayed at home, won’t give this story little faith.

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.
