Down the Road

Travelling toward the end of the year, one month at a time. Welcome November!

I think fall might unofficially be over here, given the amount of rain that has been pouring down outside for the last two days. We changed from daylight savings time yesterday, here in Europe, and darkness comes early again. In our home, we are welcoming the winter with lighting more candles and snuggling up to watch movies.

I will miss these lovely leaves but am ready for the dormant period, the quiet time. As I read in Simple Abundance this morning, “November’s beauty radiates from within.”  Just like me. Just like you.

I am musing on the energy of night over at Mortal Muses today. Come by and say hi!

Walking through Time

Brandon walking on a Roman road in Nice, France. Two thousand years ago, other kids walked on this same road. People came and went on their daily lives. So many people, so many stories, so much time.

There is such a different concept of time and history here in Italy and Europe. When we see and experience things like this road first hand, it makes me feel like we are such babies in the US in a historical sense. Makes me wonder what will last of our country and culture that we have today. The Romans were such a mighty empire, and now all that is left is the remnants and rocks. When you think about it, we wouldn’t even have that much left of our everyday lives. Our building materials are much less permanent. The knowledge that has been gained through generations of human history could easily be lost completely, if some gigantic natural or human disaster occurred across the globe.

We are but a blink in the eye of time. Isn’t it interesting, what a different perspective just walking on an ancient rode can give?

Patterns

Everywhere there are patterns. In our behaviors, our preferences and in the world around us. This is one thing I’ve always loved about engineering, finding the patterns so that you can solve the problem.

This kind of brickwork is a very common European pattern. I love how the individual squares are used to create these arcs. This image is of Patrick and Brandon’s shadows on a street in Bolzano.
