The subject line's from Kate Barnes's "The Knife Edge," as is this:

When I woke up this morning
I found I was writing a poem in my dream
and the only line I could hold on to
was: take nothing for granted.

So I will write down that one line
and go looking for the rest;
I will take nothing for granted.

From October 2011:

Breakfast in Athens airport

Sunrise over Larnaca Bay

From "Larnaka Looks to the Future," an article in SUNJET, the Cyprus Airways in-flight magazine (Oct/Nov/Dec 2011):

Cyprus is awash with historical sites and Larnaka, which is built on the site of the ancient town of Kition, is no different. The ancient port of Kition is a hugely important archaeological site, but much of it is obstructed by the current location of the Larnaka Tennis Association's tennis courts. Nana Asmeni Pavlou, Senior Officer at the Larnaka Tourism Board, explains: "We are waiting for KOA [the Cyprus Sports Association] to build new tennis courts in the Phaneromeni area so that excavations can start."

Current Mood: awake
Current Location: Larnaca, Cyprus
Current Music: neighbors moving chairs and playing Greek pop
