Aristotle – Confucius Project: Dialogues
A sea at the foot of the Athonite peak. The Aegean Sea. A plateau. A chilling view.
The blue like the embrace of God.
Chinese students recit ancient poems, talking about the virtue of Christ with verses from the Analects of Confucius, and it’s like hearing the sea singing.
Young people from local schools take turns talking about Aristotle and his connection to Mount Athos.
The summer day, all ahead.
A link for the philosophies of the East and the West.
The day ends at the pier. The fishermen have taken treasures out of the nets.
The sardines are jumping around alive.
They are baked on the spot. Freshly cut bread by hand, fresh sardines and local tomatoes.
A little olive oil for the smell and olives.
Some vine-stuffed dolmadaki.
Humble food from the BBQs of Asia Minor, where deliciousness prevailed even in the simplest, most generous, most ordinary dishes!
