Visiting the Villa Romana del Casale last month in Sicily sparked a revelation. The mosaics of bikini-clad women exercising with dumbbells and the like over 2000 years ago made me think about how we have possibly so much more to learn from our ancestors whose lives were not all too dissimilar to our own. Of course, we may not be physically thrown to the lions these days, but metaphorically?
These ponderings have led me to finally, and with gentle nudging by various family members, to start this blog. I hope it will allow me to capture some of these thoughts, jog a few memories, and perhaps even start dialogues with others who are themselves uncovering rich discoveries...
