I don't want to give impressions when I use the word "remote." "Remote" and even "village" usually indicate a certain primitiveness that feels too reductive and, quite frankly, judgemental. When I say, "they are more inclined to believe in ghosts," this is not from an absence of scientific understanding or orthodox to spirituality. Their belief in ghosts is like a language they only can speak or a cultural heritage which would allow them to be more aware of their presence. I also feel the word "ghosts" indicates too much as I do not know what they are or if they even were former residences of this world.
They wouldn't talk to them in front of me however. I feel they were being polite not carrying on conversations with those who couldn't communicate. I could see it in their eyes however, commanding half of their attention as things of great fascination moved behind me. Sometimes whatever was happening would elicit laughter like a silent joke or comedy not meant for me. I don't want to give the impression I was covertly aware of everything like some savant who could perceive everything. I heard the others and often saw things but perhaps not in the way the others could. I am sure they heard things different than someone walking through a pile of dry leaves or seen things that were more than indescribable colors lingering in the wake of invisible boat which just sailed through the room. They know I know but don't want to make it seem like their joke is directed at me. I am sure what just happened was really funny.
Marina Hatzi wrote to me many years ago about this place and its uniqueness. I am no closer to understanding the reason for her correspondence despite my time here. I do not think of this place, however, as a puzzle which requires a solution. I too feel that the idea of understanding indicates this place is broken and needs to be put back together. the word "mystery" sometimes demands a resolution that I do not think is needed. A mystery to whom? I like putting myself in places where I do not understand and am content with being here as a guest while they sing in their houses in the evening. I haven't asked to join but I feel it would be impolite as I am sure they sing louder when in company of things they understand with greater clarity than I.
