Anyway- if you ever return to Spain - go to the city of Antequera right outside of Malaga. You prolly passed by it on your way to Sierra Nevada- there is a mountain there named La peña de los enamorados. It looks like a face looking up at the heavens. The legend is about two lovers- a Christian boy who falls in love with a Muslim girl and yadda yadda they run away and end up in Antequera where they hide out for a while until they are caught but instead of giving themselves up they make a suicide pact and throw themselves off the mountain. Oh. And by the way- I'll be in Pittsburgh in a few weeks and I'll be judging everyones shoes.

An expectation<br />Or a gigantic misunderstanding has swept over the hilltop<br />Bending the ear of the hedgerow with stories of fire and sword.<br /><br />I saw a thousand years pass in two seconds.<br />Land was lost, languages rose and divided.<br />This lord went east and found safety.<br />His brother sought Africa and a dish of aloes.<br /><br />Centuries, minutes later, one might ask<br />How the hilt of a sword wandered so far from the smithy.<br />And somewhere they will sing: 'Like chaff we were borne<br />In the wind. ' This is the wind in a field of corn. <br /><br />--James FentonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-88643880805568385262015-01-03T06:49:08.717-08:002015-01-03T06:49:08.717-08:00Very interesting publication Mr Conrad :-)

We are all one and the same kind of mammals, with the same basic neeeds and cultural differences we should try to learn, understand and cherish, for these make us all richer and stronger as this so-called "mankind" group we belong to. And yes, granted, I opened up a larger thought based on your last paragraph, but hey, nobody's perfect ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
