great essay and I'm glad that you managed to relax with your absolutely insanely handsome husband. (BTW if there is ever a respiratory issue when on the road you can get amazing results from steaming with aromatics like thyme or eucalyptus or yarrow. the towel over the head boiled water in a bowl thing that can generally be rustled up on the fly)
When harvesting mugwort one night, atop of the mountain, by the moon, she appeared often as a spider. Artemis(ia) has alot of the weaver about her. That same night I received a vision around healing and yet there was this washing machine that kept appearing. wtf? took me _years_ to understand that this was in reference to the cycles.
it takes years but the threads are just so damn colorful to (be)hold
Where can I find more of your written experience, please. It is strange (in a good way....I think... and raises many questions. I hope your husband is well.
"A number of stakeholders are currently working on raising awareness on the ‘lost river’, proposing potential solutions for its sustainable re-introduction in the Athenian landscape."
This touches upon a fascination I have. I'm fascinated by the fact -- history and details -- of burying creeks (usually, they were creeks) in cities. I'm also fascinated--naturally--in the history and facts of "daylighting" these creeks (and rivers) -- bringing them back up from their underground tomb.
When I researched this topic some years ago, I was shocked to learn the primary reason urban creeks were buried in the not-so-very-long-ago. Absent modern water filtration plants (themselves a problem to discuss at another time), before recent modern times, urban creeks were far too often treated as human waste removal systems -- or sewers. These naturally stank badly. And so burying them seemed to make sense at the time.
Now back to reading this fascinating essay / article. Thanks!
The best explanation I have read for the uncanny valley effect is that the reaction insured our ancestors were cautious around dead bodies ("looks human but isn't")--given that they may have disease, septicity, or vermin.
Did you feel anything when you stepped into the church on top of Menez Hom? I ask because I felt like I was on the brink of a very deep hole when I stepped in, and had to walk around the edge of the room to get to the altar. It was right in the centre of the building.

Still reading. Pausing to share a bit.

Rhyd, I so enjoy your writings and the stories you tell feel like I’m listening to a kindred spirit. Thank you.

I thought this was all just wonderful to read. Thank you for sharing your journey.
