Imaginary road trip

"Snow" continued...

Our city is a peaceful place
The outlying districts

Veiling as it did the dirt, the mud, and the darkness, the snow would continue to speak to Ka of purity, but after his first days in Kars it no longer promised innoccence. [...] Instead, the snow spoke to him of hopelesness and misery. [...] These sights spoke of a strange and powerfull loneliness. It was as if he were in a place that the whole world had forgotten, as if it were snowing at the end of the world. [...] They sat on old divans and crooked chairs in tiny icy rooms with earthen floors covered by machine-made carpets, and every time they moved from one house to the next [...] they had to make their way past children kicking broken plastic cars, one-armed dolls, or empty bottles or boxes of tea and medicine back and forth across the way. As they sat next to stoves that gave out no heat unless stirred continuously, and electric heaters that ran off illegal power lines, and silent television sets that no one ever turned off. [...] the thing that shocked and frightened Ka was the way these girls had killed themselves : abrubtly, without ritual or warning, in the midst of their everyday routines. [...] the deputy governor told Ka. "But if unhappiness were a genuine reason for suicide, half the women in Turkey would be killing themselves." [...] Ka found it strangely depressing that the suicide girls had had to stuggle to find a private moment to kill themselves. Even after swallowing their pills, even as they lay quietly dying, they'd had to share their rooms with others.


Pas un sujet très rose, contrairement à mon humeur en ce moment, mais très bon livre, et je commence seulement. Là je vais essayer de lire un peu de S. Beaulac pour l'école avant que Lu se réveille...

On a "different" note...

Life Path # : 33

Your life path number tells you about your life tools and lessons. A birth date that reduces down to 33 is very rare. When it does happen you may be looking at a great and significant spiritual leader along the lines of the Dalai Lama or Gandhi. Remember that a 33 is also a 6 life path, a very nurturing and responsible number.The 33 life path will call you to leadership and responsibility. This may not always please you, but you'll have to make your peace with it.

The 33 individuals usually achieve fame through acts of kindness, tenderness and compassion that lead to the transformation of the world's consciousness. The details may vary. We could be talking about the Pope, we could be talking about a wonderful first-grade teacher.

You have a good chance of being a great cook. You have the vision to dream it, and the organizational skills to do it right. It's a great way to relax. Besides, you love to eat!

You are always coming up with ideas that other people think are a bit "out there." Follow your instincts, and others will follow you. We'll end up with a kinder, gentler world.

You have a heart of gold and extremely loving and giving, ready to take on the world together with your flag of social injustice, always willing to help those who are less fortunate than yourself. People get the impression; you are always youthful, gracious, friendly, sacrificial, sympathetic, and full of inspiration when it comes to aiding others. Occasionally, you do become anxious, depressed, evasive, timid, or worrying over trivial issues or matters that don't directly concern you. You should learn to mind your own business at times, keep your feet in your own backyard, or better still, think more about yourself and your own emotional and material security.

Your personal and profession life can at times get very much out of hand through your own self-undoing, carelessness, or sloppy organisation. When someone offers you advice or a suggestion, you will listen, but may not act on the information. For some inner spiritual reason, you always seem to reach out and give to others generously, always looking for attention or recognition, but in most cases you cannot see you are being used and abused by those who think you are an easy target for a touch. Never, get involved with other people's money problems, or give financially to others through loans, it will never be returned, or paid back to you in full. Equally, you may find your emotional life will get you into more problems than you would like to bargain for, love is important to you, but you may wear your heart on your sleeve, thus, suffering severe hardship through a broken marriage or loving relationships. Be particularly careful of becoming emotionally involved with persons who try to sway you with their charm. Don't take people at face value; you are a prime example of a person who cannot say no. You may have to unlearn old habits and develop new ones to avoid being persecuted by those who wish to take advantage of you in a weak moment. You will do well in occupations in which can work with those who are handicapped, confined, or require learning, assistance or service.

Throughout your destiny, you must temper your desire for fame or importance with solid effort and practical results; otherwise you may overvalue your ability and your ideas and consequently, meet with many difficulties and possible failure. You are certainly a very loving, caring, overprotective, and giving parent; however, you may not adequately prepare them for the problems that could eventuate in their destiny path. Your love or kind heartedness towards animals will bring you much joy.
