Inspiration for one of the chapters I am working on is one of the benefits of being here. I decided to work cursively and so my writing has become a puzzle that needs decoding with layers of inscription. And I have set a goal for myself to lay the foundation for this chapter before my writing workshop. So luckily, I am feeling complete or as complete as one can be as a modern day writer without a computer. Am counting it a minor miracle I can even get this blog up. Not sure how but I am not arguing.
The last time I was here was fifty years ago and of course as Greece relies a great deal on tourism, this little village is no different. But somehow there is a feeling that is difficult to describe - a wide and forebearing tolerance and generous nature that leaves one alchemized.
