Isaiah Berlin was a political philosopher and historian of ideas. He remains a hero to me. one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, he remained true to his humanity. “I came to the conclusion that there is a plurality of ideals, as there is a plurality of cultures and of temperaments. I am not a relativist; I do not say “I like my coffee with milk and you like it without; I am in favor of kindness and you prefer concentration camps” — each of us with his own values, which cannot be overcome or integrated. This I believe to be false. But I do believe that there is a plurality of values which men can and do seek, and that these values differ.”
Another street scene from Pompeii, the ancient Roman City destroyed by Vesuvius in AD79. This city has given the modern world a peek into the ancient. It’s both an archaelogical treasure and a tourist destination in the Napoli region of Italy. Ironically, there are more people living at the foot of that same still active Volcano than when Pompeii was buried. The latin quote translates to “Fortune Favors the bold” and is reportedly the last words of Pliny The Elder before leaving the docks of Pompeii to rescue people from the eruption.
This beautiful stormy scene presented itself as I was overlooking the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. (If you look closely, you can see the Kissing Camels near the lower right-hand corner.) Hard to imagine it’s in the middle of a huge city. Update 20-June: Exciting news! This photo was chosen to be published in Gaia – The Living Planet, a book compiled of imagery and poetry from within the RB community. I’m so excited to receive my copy in the mail soon!
