You can surf or search or use the labels to follow a thread of ideas. Imagine in some crazy way you are watching my thoughts evolve, seeing ideas become connected , or observing an amorphous cloud giving birth to sources of light and matter. Treat this place metaphorically as a place of unformed galaxies and planetary systems rather than merely as a diary.

Kino's Journey episode 1

Some reflection questions after watching the episode-

In the desert, the temptation is to go back. Why?
What is the tension between decisiveness and what I shall call providence (though Kino calls it luck)? How do you live this out?

What is your purpose or calling in life? How would you go about finding this out?
Who determines it?

In the city and the outskirts

Where are we and what is the problem?
Why does the man want Kino to stay?

Jean Paul Sartre said “Hell is another person” Can other people really be hell?
Is this land hospitable, as Hermes and Kino wonder? Does hospitality require people?

Trust and Truth belong together. In contrast to the Land of Pain read Psalm 85 and examine what responses rise in you.
