Is it hard to bear-----
open up--------
let me have a look,
on this sacred day,
I'm just a little boy,

earth get's out of view,
give orders for music-------
You see so clear,
why your high,
though stars are very close,

Time Shop------
when you ready, the paralells
split the verbal view-------
Anything can be seen, here on
this flowin avenue, where all
the seekers pass by, on their
way to the Time Shop-----
A fragment of endlessness, can
be yours, for a smile or two.
Do we follow a flightpath, like
partickles, drawn towards a
center, do we go for the goin',
or for the kick of doin-------
See--- the difference between
facts and fantacy, say farewell
to the imaginary set-ups, that
they offer us-----… Continue

Unicorns, Symbols Of Purity
In its origins, the Unicorn was a creature depicted as a white horse, with antelope hooves, billy-goat beard, and a horn in its forehead.
But with the pass of time, fantasy artists have depicted the Unicorn as a horse with a horn in its forehead and lacking of the other elements. Some also depict the Unicorn winged.
There are ancient Greek, Roman, and Macedonian stories that tell about a creature with a single horn.
Some say that the origin of those stories may lay in the travels that they did into the India, and they are describing the Indian rhinoceros.
Other origins of the Unicorn can be found in the viking mythology and tell about a sea creature that has a horn in its forehead and probably it's actually a cetacean called narval.
But both the narval and the rhinoceros are very different from a horse with a horn in its forehead.
One of the first versions about the Unicorn is the one that the Greek physician Ctesias did in 400 B.C., in one of the expeditions to India. He talks about a white animal with the body of a horse...
He also talks about its distrustful and lonely nature.
Then, the belief in the protective power of the Unicorn's horn against poison and diseases is born. And it becomes a synonym of a long life.
There's another reference to the Unicorn in the Greek mythology. It is said that Zeus was fed by a goat called Amalthea. In some stories, that animal that feeds Zeus is not a goat but an Unicorn.
The legend says that one day, Zeus broke the horn of Amalthea and a big amount of food emerged from that horn, that was called The Horn Of Abundance. Zeus rewarded Amalthea turning it into the star Capella.
Aristotle wrote about the Unicorn, and also Julius Caesar in "Bellum Gallicum" (50 BC).
In the Middle Ages, the Unicorns are the symbol of purity, and in some religious artworks they are linked to Christianity.
It was said that only the young female virgins can approach an Unicorn. So in the Middle Ages, the headhunters used virgins to try catch an Unicorn, and get its valuable horn.
The belief in the Unicorn was also present in Asia. In Japan, it was called Kirin, and symbolizes the Justice.
In Persia it was called Shadhavar, and the Unicorn is similar to a gazelle with a single horn. The horn has holes, and when the wind blows, it sounds like a flute. Animals and humans are attracted by its music, and when they are near, the Shadhavar attacks them. This is the reason why this mythical animal is symbol of temptation and danger, in Persia.
In China, the Unicorn (Qilin) is symbol of wisdom, and is classified like the king of all animals. There's a legend in China that says that a king was sat close to a river, and an Unicorn appeared. It had magic symbols in the back, and they helped the king to create the first Chinese writings.
Some adventurers that in the XVIII century traveled to Tibet, said that the fabulous creatures called Unicorns really existed in that place.
In all these stories and legends there's something in common: the spirit of a mythical animal of exceptional beauty, purity, and nobleness.
Single-horned 'Unicorn' deer found in Italy
Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, Italy, Wednesday, June 11, 2008, shows a deer with a single horn in the center of its head. The one-year-old Roe Deer - nicknamed 'Unicorn'' - was born in captivity in the research center's park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences, said. He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.
ROME - A deer with a single horn in the center of its head — much like the fabled, mythical unicorn — has been spotted in a nature preserve in Italy, park officials said Wednesday.
"This is fantasy becoming reality," Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, told The Associated Press. "The unicorn has always been a mythological animal."
The 1-year-old Roe Deer — nicknamed "Unicorn" — was born in captivity in the research center's park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Tozzi said.
He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.
Calling it the first time he has seen such a case, Tozzi said such anomalies among deer may have inspired the myth of the unicorn.
The unicorn, a horse-like creature with magical healing powers, has appeared in legends and stories throughout history, from ancient and medieval texts to the adventures of Harry Potter.
"This shows that even in past times, there could have been animals with this anomaly," he said by telephone. "It's not like they dreamed it up."
Single-horned deer are rare but not unheard of — but even more unusual is the central positioning of the horn, experts said.
"Generally, the horn is on one side (of the head) rather than being at the center. This looks like a complex case," said Fulvio Fraticelli, scientific director of Rome's zoo. He said the position of the horn could also be the result of a trauma early in the animal's life.
Other mammals are believed to contribute to the myth of the unicorn, including the narwhal, a whale with a long, spiraling tusk.
