Map of GreeceIt’s reminiscent of a great Tao - if you look at it closely, you can indeed see a great Tao made of water and land. But in no place is it as though one were gaining an advantage over the other - they embrace each other reciprocally: earth and water. The Peloponnesian Straits are what the earth give to the water, and Crete what the water gives to the earth. I do think that the Peloponnese has the most beautiful shape. Its the shape of a great maternal hand, not a human one, that is dipping into the water to check if the temperature is right for a bath.- from Flights, by Olga Tokarczuk (trans.
