Here I am at last, I am standing among the throng
Unnoticed and speechless, my heart utters its usual song
Disquiet but tired, alas I've given my best
Before the altar, I lay my spirit to rest

My eyes gazed into the lofty peaks
The blue and gold, beckons me on my feet
Tis but jus a solo pilgrim, silenced by distress
Ever wishing, dreaming and hoping for the best....

I think I will use cardboard and/or plastics to make the ribs of the hull.
Should it be a house-boat? Or just a little fishing-trawler? Or the amphibious kind of vehicle?
Hope I can find something interesting in Vienna next week.

Wondering what will happen at the ECR2006 also. Sounds like fun but it is COLD!!!
Alone in Austria. How's that for my next blog site?

A short pencil is better than a long memory.

Needs can be met; greed never.

Nothing dies faster than a new idea in a closed mind.

Our attitude determines our altitude.

You better pay attention to your future, because you are going to spend a lot of time there.

A diplomat is a man who remembers a lady's birthday but forgets her age.

There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.

Don't be afraid to ask dumb questions; they're easier to handle than dumb mistakes.

I want to build my little boat!

The great master perfects nothing but his own will.
In his own secret quest, he is unfathomable.
If he were killed in that battle, it was only his old and outer shell of his self that has peeled off.
Within, he is fresher than before and his spirit keener.

His mind is like still water, capturing everything he grasps in the reflections on its surface.
He is able to adapt to the environment and yet his quality never changes.
His enemy makes his greatest move, but will be exasperated because he can never touch him.
For he is still calm, and untouchable.
