Empty Seats

An empty seat, and a mirror, showing the situation somewhere else.

On this continent where I write this.

From photo released by Russia October 1, published NYT:

The forest, in conifers and evergreen, seen also near water.

In Russia, in springtime, creates the conditions of extensive muddiness called Rasputitsa.

America has such forests too, but without the springtime phenomena. However enough to make me think of the place that does. I have not reached this explanation yet, in TWO SEATS: https://stohl.org/two-seats.

Here the road is dry, or somewhat dry, it is not clear. Mud, which is the foundation of the Russian season. This humble condition of earth, nonetheless, from which comes the most elusive and misinterpreted section of the Bible, in Genesis. To be explained.

Thus the history of human society thereafter, whether or not one is Christian. In other words, our misinterpretation leading to the state of the world today, divided. To be explained.

From Genesis, came the misunderstanding of Adam and Eve.

Two seats, difficult to fill since. In the New Testament, another misunderstanding, of why and how Jesus walked on water. To be explained.

Today is October 1.
