Greek ruins continue to fascinate me. These skeletal remains of marble columns once painted with the bright colors of Mediterranean sky, earth, sun, and sea are highly evocative. I should feel the same way towards the artifacts of ancient Asian civilizations but for me there really are East and West and they evoke different primal emotions. Inchoate emotions coupled with equally deep memories we no longer visualize still affect us in some deep part of the psyche where they swirl chaotically in the mythic sea stirred by the primal winds that initiated creation in the first place.
