The Monday Morning Memo

Look just above the roofline of the temple and you’ll see 4 parked cars.

Neither the temple, nor the hillside, nor the cars can be seen from the vacant, rural road that runs past this site in a sparsely-populated part of the island. To get there, you have to turn onto a little dirt path that most people would never notice, then go down a hill and around a corner. When you get to the padlocked gate, you can still see nothing. If you know the combination to the lock, you can pull onto the property, go around a corner and BOOM, there it is. Cathy Fleck met the woman who did the research, purchased the land, then cleared away decades of dense jungle growth to reveal the zig-zag path up the hillside and the perfectly intact, old Japanese shrines. Cathy knows the gate code because she takes care of the organization’s Facebook page.

Random Quote:

“On the coming of evening, I return to my house and enter my study; and at the door I take off the day’s clothing, covered with mud and dust, and put on garments regal and courtly; and reclothed appropriately, I enter the ancient courts of ancient men, where, received by them with affection, I feed on that food which only is mine and which I was born for, where I am not ashamed to speak with them and to ask them the reason for their actions; and they in their kindness answer me; and for four hours of time I do not feel boredom, I forget every trouble, I do not dread poverty, I am not frightened by death; entirely I give myself over to them.”

- Niccolò Machiavelli to Francesco Vettori (December 10, 1513). Machiavelli was a rat bastard, but an eloquent one in this passage. – Indy Beagle
