Ρωμαϊκή Αγορά της Θεσσαλονίκης

δρόμος και στοά στη νότια πλευρά,

στο βάθος το Ωδείο - Βουλευτήριο - Θέατρο

__________

Η ποιήτρια

Δύο ζωές αποκτούμε, η μία μας δίνεται με φυσικό τρόπο, την άλλη την πραγματική τη δημιουργούμε the hard way από δύσκολες και οδυνηρές εμπειρίες, κτίζοντας πάνω στην πρώτη με έμπνευση, σπίθα, αφοσίωση, ευαισθησία, πάθος, τεχνική, χάρη, ρισκάροντας τη "χαρά" της ασφάλειας των δεδομένων, με εμπιστοσύνη στις επιλογές της καρδιάς μας..

Η εικόνα

Η Ρωμαϊκή Αγορά της πόλης (τμήμα) χτισμένη στη θέση της αντίστοιχης Ελληνιστικής, από τον 1ο μ.Χ. αιώνα έως τα μέσα του 3ου, κοινωνικό, πνευματικό, διοικητικό και οικονομικό κέντρο της για τρεις αιώνες. Το Ωδείο (ερείπια) στεγασμένο στην αρχαιότητα, φιλοξενούσε καλλιτεχνικές παραστάσεις και δημόσιες συζητήσεις. Από τον 4ο μ.Χ. αιώνα η Αγορά εγκαταλείφθηκε, οι χώροι της μετατράπηκαν σε εργαστήρια εξόρυξης πηλού, το Ωδείο για πέντε αιώνες αποτέλεσε χώρο συγκέντρωσης ομβρίων νερών..

Η σχέση;

Είδα απέναντι από το Ωδείο, τις πολυκατοικίες της ανατολικής πλευράς της Αγοράς να παρατηρούν αγέρωχα, σταματημένα τραίνα You know we got this far, darling, not by luck but by never turning back, μου έστειλαν ενισχυμένο από το Ωδείο ένα ψίθυρο τους με άπταιστη αμερικανική προφορά, ... and have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path συνέχισαν, απευθυνόμενες στην καρδιά μου μάλλον. Φόβος;

Οι πολυκατοικίες αυτές 6-8 ορόφων αρκετά παλιές αντικρύζουν υπέθεσα, τα υπό αναστήλωση ερείπια της Αγοράς από το 1966 που η σκαπάνη κατά τύχη τα έφερε στην επιφάνεια και κάποιος (-οι) αγωνίστηκαν να μην αγνοηθούν. Σε μια πόλη που χτίζεται διαρκώς από την αρχαιότητα βλέποντας το παρελθόν γνωρίζουν το μέλλον τους στην καλύτερη του περίπτωση..

Δεν έχασαν όμως το νεύρο τους από την εικόνα, αντίθετα τους περίσσεψε να μου δανείσουν. Δεν είδαν μόνο το μέλλον άκουσαν και πολλά τραγούδια - φαίνεται το Ωδείο παγιδεύει τον ήχο - από πολύ παλιά ως σήμερα που η πλατεία λίγο παραπάνω σφίζει από κόσμο και τη μουσική και τα τραγούδια του τα απογεύματα..

Τραγούδια της καρδιάς που εμπνέουν εμάς και άλλους, που απευθύνονται στη λογική μας που σαστίζει και φοβάται από τα φαινόμενα και τις εικόνες κάποτε, τραγούδια που δίνουν συνέχεια στο πεπρωμένο και στις επιλογές μας, πίστη ότι ο κόσμος δεν θα σταματήσει να γυρίζει και να αλλάζει δικαιώνοντας μας the hard way πάντα..

Come on, Come on άκουσα μέσα μου ένα ψίθυρο που έστειλα με τη σειρά μου αθώα προς το Ωδείο ..

Show a little inspiration, show a little spark

And show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart

And tell me something I don't know instead of everything I do

And look at me as if I mean something to you

Our hearts are beating while we sleep, but while we're wide awake

You know the world won't stop, and actions speak louder

Listen to your heart, and what your heart might say

Everything we got, we got the hard way

Show a little passion, baby, show a little style

And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how

And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path

You know we got this far, darling, not by luck, but by never turning back

Some will call on destiny, but I just call on faith

That the world won't stop, and actions speak louder

Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say

Everything we got, we got the hard way

Caught up in our little lives, there's not a lot left over

I see what's missing in your eyes; you're searching for that field of clover

So show a little inspiration, show a little spark

Show the world a little light when you show it your heart

We've got two lives, one we're given and the other one we make

And the world won't stop, and actions speak louder

Listen to your heart, and your heart might say

Everything we got, we got the hard (everything we got, we got the hard way)

Everything we got, we got the hard way

(Because the world won't stop) hang on, baby...

(The Hard Way, Mary Chapin Carpenter, 1992)

The Russian Market is the most popular market among tourists and expats and probably the best place to pick up souvenirs. It does not look like much from the outside but when you get in you will find everything from beautifully hand carved statues, colorful lanterns and handmade silk scarves to fake bags, printed T-shirts and DVDs.

Russian market is located in the south part of Phnom Penh and is known to the locals as Phsar Toul Tom Poung. The reason why it is called Russian market is because it was a popular market among the Russian expats during the 1980s when most of the western expats in Phnom Penh were Russian.

It is a narrow and sometimes steamy market since most of the stalls do not have Air-conditions or even a fan.

Buried deep in the Marrakesh Medina markets stock in this curious stall spills out onto the path of busy shoppers.

Birds of a feather hangin' out together.

For sale at the local junk shop.

You name it, Melbourne's got it! Owls in all shapes and sizes seem very popular.

Our kitchen table is now bare as Georgina could not keep her furry little paws off my tchotchkies ... sigh.

Maybe one day when she has developed a few manners they will be allowed back :)

Memorabilia from the Adriatic Sea

I found these when my son insisted I go to a thrift/consignment shop.

This type of bisque figure was popular at the end of the 19th century. Mass produced in Germany and Britain they are usually well made but not that popular in modern homes.

They usually came in pairs, The young lady would have had a equally elaborate beau.

I made this in High school. It is a piece of teak from the spoke of a ships tiller wheel that I cut at an angle. The cross is made of shavings from filing a bone and mixing the bone dust with epoxy then filling the cross shape I had carved out. After hardening, it was sanded and sanded and polished. I made the shelf it sits on also, but you can't really see that to well... : )

Knick Knack is an English equivalent of bric-à-brac. It means small decorative items in a house.

Tchotchke is yet another name, it comes from the Yiddish tshatshke of the same meaning, and ultimately from a now-obsolete Polish word, czaczko. Tchotchke is a pretty popular word these days, but it wasn't commonly used in English until the 1970s

simon thinks he's a knick knack.

This cute little wooden sewing machine was a gift to me from a very good friend who brought it back from Cartegena Columbia. The drawer on the front opens and there are tiny spools of thread inside.
