Hi All.
Being around in LFS-Project all this year (obviously i am not staying
only for the project itself,but for all of *You Wonderfull People*),
i thought i would share with pleasure a personal moment.
A baby-girl with gorgeous eyes,came to life,early morning in Monday 19
of December.
It was a painfull birth,despite the fact that it was my wife's fourth birth.
It's funny and strange,and I really i don't know the reason ...
Maybe because is a female after 2 boys :)
or because we already lost a daughter (our first child),
or simple because she is pretty!!! :)
but the fact is that,in only few days,she brought the family more close
than ever,with a magical and completely mysterious way.
So if i had only one wish to put in a bottle and through it away in the
LFS Ocean,that would be "To discover the beauty to share things",with the
same way that children share their father/mother,and the parents share
their love to their kids.
Then i thought for a second and i said.
"You moron.Your wish,is by default the corner stone of the whole
project.You didn't discover the atlantic! It's there since the very
first day,when Gerard captured the idea,make it reality and he shared
it with the public.
It's there since others took their responsibilities to carry in their
shoulders this "Wonderfull Project""
So i thought is better to share with you a favorite Poem.
Here it is.

| |
| As you set out for Ithaka |
| hope your road is a long one, |
| full of adventure, full of discovery. |
| |
| Laistrygonians, Cyclops, |
| angry Poseidon - don't be afraid of them: |
| you'll never find things like that one on your way |
| as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, |
| as long as a rare excitement |
| stirs your spirit and your body. |
| Laistrygonians, Cyclops, |
| wild Poseidon - you won't encounter them |
| unless you bring them along inside your soul, |
| unless your soul sets them up in front of you. |
| |
| Hope your road is a long one. |
| May there be many summer mornings when, |
| with what pleasure, what joy, |
| you enter harbours you're seeing for the first time; |
| may you stop at Phoenician trading stations |
| to buy fine things, |
| mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, |
| sensual perfumes of every kind - |
| as many sensual perfumes as you can; |
| and may you visit many Egyptian cities |
| to learn and go on learning from their scholars. |
| |
| Keep Ithaka always in your mind. |
| Arriving there is what you're destined for. |
| |
| *But don't hurry the journey at all.* |
| |
| Better if it lasts for years, |
| so you're old by the time you reach the island, |
| wealthy with all you've gained on the way, |
| not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. |
| |
| Ithaka gave you the marvellous journey. |
| Without her you wouldn't have set out. |
| She has nothing left to give you now. |
| And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you. |
| Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, |
| you'll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean |
| |
| ITHAKA |
