“…as long as one lived, freedom was a direction of intention, not a fixed condition.”

BARS

As someone who uses Tarot cards, I find this last bit about Delphi very interesting. I don’t read Tarot cards to know the future, I read them to under the present. Because knowing your future is impossible.

I understand. I also have multiple hypotheses and multiple conclusions and especially parallel praxis. I act differently with different people. I am who I am. Always.

“You are just what you are and not something else.”

I. Love. This. Book!

“I want to allow the same range of emotions he allows: joy, rage, passion, and sorrow. Living as long a life as he has is not as important as living as wide a life.”

Wow.

I find it very interesting that the cemeteries are the most well-kept and beautifully natural spots in Crete. As if there is more respect paid to the dead. Also, all the German soldiers buried in a separate cemetery… how lovely, how awful, how sad.

No power lines, beautiful trees and flowers, for the living to see, for the land of the dead.

I’m really enjoying this book so far. Also, people get off work at 2pm a lot of days! That sounds so lovely, instead of working all the way until 5pm five days a week.

Ki auto thai perusai - This, too, shall pass

I love that saying so much. I’ve heard it and said it many times before this book too.

Crete sounds wonderful, even with all the rain. Actually, it’s ESPECIALLY because of all the different kinds of rains. Also that picture is really nice, looks really comforting.

Alice and Max-Pol are playing with each other. She sent him so much interesting stuff, I wonder if there really is an answer to the mysteries that Max believes are there?

I bet this Pilar Azul Pujol is our Alice/Allyson/Sanaa!
