"White Greek chapel lashed by sunlight... Vineyards all around you, melon fields, fruit-bearing fig tree and, here and there, solitary, some olive-trees... Toasted and golden, the blades of grass now steamed chaff... And instead of angels, your cicadas sing the Canon of Mercy every afternoon until late in their own way. It is an overturned throne all this blue of a plain sky which once was the Measure of the Dorians resting firmly upon the gold bullions of your blessed sea..." ~T.K. Papatsonis

Teddy told me that in Greek, "nostalgia" literally means "the pain from an old wound." It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn't a spaceship, it's a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards... it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called the wheel, it's called the carousel. It let's us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.
