Palaiminti

'Palaiminti kas keliauja';

Kelionė suteikia įžvalgų,
Darbas namuose paverčia jas išmintimi.

Atverk mums įžvalgas namuose
ir suteik išminties kelionėse.

Šykart skridom į salą naikinti išsikerojusių dygliuotų krūmų (South African Box Thorn Bush), o tuo pačiu ir išgelbėjom laivelį katras per naktį paliktas vandens prisisėmė... ir prigėre.

languages of distinction

A new found russian friend in Adelaide emailed me:
Hi Pash, Look http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17083397 The next generation of Latvians won't speak Russian at all.. :(

Thank you my Friend! You gave me a good hint for some thought..
 Every issue can be looked upon as a two sided coin:
-opportunity for challenge or even war http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Muscovite

OR
-opportunity for co-development and harmony http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balto-Slavic

Neither can be taken for an Absolute Truth. However the alternatives present a us with an opportunity to make a choice, to choose an Attitude, to check acknowledge own assumptions. We make choices every day... Now, do you still think  ' :(  '  when Latvians reject your mother tongue as a candidate for their State Language? I would be puzzled one accepts me as a friend only because I can speak fairly good Russian. Languages are better used as tools to open doors, not mere signs of allegiance or factors of distinction. Is a chimp better monkey that gorilla? 'Humons' can do better.

Yours,
Pasha, Paul, Povilas
