thinning veil: Up the Hill

Wings and a different respiratory apparatus...

...which would allow us to cross the immensity of space would prove useless, because if we landed on Mars or Venus with the same senses, these senses would clothe whatever we would see with the same appearance of what we see on Earth. The only true voyage, the only fountain of youth, would not be to travel towards new lands, but to have another hundred eyes, to see the universe with the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each one sees, that each one is.

Up the Hill

On Monday I finally got up to Svatabor with Leigha. These are photos of my walk from home through Sušice.

We started climbing on the other side of town.

It had rained in the morning but the sun was coming up.

I had a drink and then we climbed up the tower, from which you can see all as far as Prague on a clear day.

We walked right down the road from Svatabor and ended up 5 km from Sušice in this beautiful little village called Odolenov. Tomáš came to pick us up, happily.
