Language, culture and community in the Mezzogiorno: la Sicilia non è noiosa!

The pensively pedantic pilgrim... I'm still learning to enjoy journeys, and not just destinations. Life is not a solitary sojourn, nor a banal acquiesce to the masses.

Some recent thoughts:

"Against the world; for the world." St. Anthanasius

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." St. Augustine

Real joy is found in a journey that's shared... that is, when we start giving our lives away. "For it is in giving that we receive." St. Francis of Assisi
