Treat for the day!!!! So excited to share this...So happy to have found it!!If you have never read Invisible Cities , you are missing out on something quite special.. These places described are not on any map...I love when a good book/story creates such imagery that I can see it inside my own mind. I dont need photos, a reel none of that, and i know each person on his/her own with have their own vision. THAT is one particular aspect of words and how to word, that I love. Calvino , Such an amazing storyteller. The inhabitants of Calvinos cities are a tortured lot, ensnared in various traps, largely of their own making. ...not sure if Calvino intended this, but one could find the book very Buddhist. The city dwellers are trapped in cycles of despair — a sort of urban samsara — failing to realize that they hold the keys to their particular prison. So if you have a moment in the day, let just put this on and have a listen, its so soothing....openculture/…/hear-italo-calvino-read-select…
