“Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. "There is the blueprint," they say.”

― Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities, 1972.

Agreed on this point, John. Sadly, we regularly elect the most unqualified leaders amongst us. 😐

Thanks, Yutes. It's as close as I get to having a transcendental, spiritual experience these days. 🙏🏼❤️🕊️

Thank you kindly, Beast. Even with so much architectural glory throughout the city, Művészetek Palotája /Palace of the Arts built on the Danube bank may be my favorite building in Budapest. It is here we convene to experience the greatest works of classical music; to contemplate, to be inspired. 🙏🏼🕊️

John, I believe his statement, particularly, 'power concedes nothing without a demand," is referring to a social and political struggle that's stretched throughout human history; the struggle for justice, social and economic equity, equal rights for all. 🙏🏼⚖️🕊️

So blessed to regularly attend performances by the Budapest Festival Orchestra at the majestic Palace of the Arts.

Tuesday night, with Spanish conductor Jaime Martin leading the orchestra, I was awestruck by Japanese violinist Akiko Suwanai's performance of Saint-Saëns' violin concerto.

Deeply disappointed he couldn’t bribe, threaten, or intimidate the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Trump is now plotting military strikes on the Scandinavian country. 😵‍💫

"Ålesund is a port town on the west coast of Norway, at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord. It’s known for the art nouveau architectural style in which most of the town was rebuilt after a fire in 1904."

"Kyrgyzstan is a land of dramatic contrasts — from high alpine lakes and wild valleys to deep canyons, untouched rivers, and timeless mountain silence."
