The land of my ancestors called to me before there were words. People of the diaspora are like scattered seeds who long to commune with their roots and homelands. It's been narly 6 years since I repatriated. My grandmother, the sweet earth Hellas, holds me in her tender embrace. #diasporastories
Stone front of a museum in Halkida. Greek flag and Χαλκίδα flags above the rounded door entrance. Plants grow out of the stone facade of the building, to the right shrubs and trees. View from the top of Philopappou hill. You can see Athens below and the Acropolis to the right.mou rains at the horizon line, blue skies and minimal clouds Anarchist graffiti on the side of a building in Kato Petralona, Athens. Along with several anarchist symbols in black, white and red, a sentence in white on black It reads: κόντρα στους ανέμους κάθε εξουσίας. Πλέουμε προς την ελευθερία. Translation: against the winds of all powers, we sail towards freedom Picture of the creek at the bottom of a ravine in Rodini Park, Rhodes, near a small waterfall down concrete steps. Maria toward the right, smiling into the camera. Wearing olive green and black with a colored scarf around my neck.

Listen carefully to what the "Extre-Right" is too "Culturally-Ignorant" to tell you, because they are too, busy waving their "Schadenfreude-Flag" and practicing "Stochastic-Terrorism" against anyone who dares point out their "Bigotry and Bias?" While in the same "Phony-Breath" not "Racist?"
