Gray, owl-eyed Athena. I found her in ruins, olive leaves pasted to her by the rain. Pallas Athena did not shake her spear, nor did she question the past; she was simply stone, cracked, dusty, missing an arm. Lost to a life of museums, a book about the fall of Troy. |

(sad sigh) It always saddens me to know and see much of the beauty of history lost and fading in time, and to see ashes of such beauty dwindle in our modern world. (sigh) I love Greek mythology, and I pray all our children will always remember the beauty and wisdom of our grey-eyed goddess Athena! (sigh) Very moving and touching read, sweet Michael! (big hugggssssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
