[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Do you do this too? Lately I've been spending a lot of time staring wistfully at photos of minimalist architecture. These days, I can think of nothing more calming than staring out at the Aegean Sea from the terrace of this Greek villa located on the grounds of a 14th century castle. I think that is part of the charm. If it could survive all that has happened between then and now, maybe we can survive 2020.I'm usually jarred out of my reverie by my phone buzzing in with current news that requires attention and processing. We are literally in the eye of the storm as even hurricanes get in on the news cycle action!
It's the full catastrophe.Catastrophe. How many times in the past week have you read or heard that word?And while these events happening today are catastrophes, there is another meaning, another perspective to that word. Follow along with me for a minute to the wild side of my calm Grecian fantasy. To the other side of that concept, "catastrophe."
In the 1964 film, "Zorba the Greek," Zorba, an exuberant Greek peasant played by Anthony Quinn (left in the photo), is asked, "Were you ever married?" His reply: “Am I not a man? Of course I've been married. Wife, house, kids, everything . . .
the full catastrophe!”Meaning ... he appreciated the catastrophe of life's richness along with all its tragedies and sorrows. Zorba danced his way through real and self-made storms and in the end he came to terms with what is most human in ourselves -- living within the swirl of loss and happiness, anger and love, grief and joy. I think many of us can relate right now.Where are you in your own life's full catastrophe?
