Many thoughts as I leave Europe towards my next destination. Spain, France and Italy have been impressive . From the ancient ruins, to the devastations from wars to the most amazing artwork through creative and gifted artisans, Europe stands above the rest. While Rome reminds me of how mankind can go from glory and riches to fall and devastation, Guernica reminds me of the cruelty of man to the power of love and freedom.
All in all, it reminds me that humankind is a species full of brutality, power, self absorption, but has another side of creativity, brilliancy, love and empathy. The Roman Empire reveals how a government goes from upheaval to new power to control to abuse of power to upheaval again and seems to repeat itself. Will we never learn?… and where are we now in that cycle. The Roman Empire lasted 1000 years… where are we now?
