Day 43, to Caltabellota

Watching a large class of Italian students going into the Royal Palace this morning, and seeing how most of their T-shirts had one variation or other of English language, and even American names, titles, etc. The question arises: when was the last tiny village on earth impacted by the USA?

I cannot imagine ever living in Russia again.

Now heading to a small village to, quite likely, dispel a myth I’ve had for nearly 50 years.

Goethe observed the plants in the Palermo botanical garden to come up with the idea of the Urphlsnze. I myself have been traveling the gardens of the world, trying to come up with a living inight(s) of the essential man in the variants of societies and cultures. This included recently attempting to see into the essential reality, know the essentials in the realitities, of the evening of romantic music performance in Crotone. In other words, I have been trying less or more consciously for nearly 50 years now to see into men and women in relation to Man as Goethe did in relation to plants, and other realms of Nature.

This is actually a very deep, biographical insight.

This gives clear and true theme to nearly, in fact essentially more, than 50 years of my life.

And the only other person who know this is he or she who is reading this. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Urpflanze :: Essential Man

I have rarely if ever eaten in a restaurant without at least taking price into consideration, if not a serious factor.

I have, and will have, this mountain to myself. There is virtually no chance that anyone else will ascend here.
