Having drifted to the other side

of the hill, surrounded by the
Mediterranean Sea, with Greece
far ahead of me, Turkey to my right

and Egypt to my left, I marvel at
the diversity of the 230-square-

kilometre peninsula that unfolds
beneath me. The playful valleys,
countless hills and gorges, golden

prairies and rugged coastlines
create a breathtaking panorama.
I realise that our own emotional

landscape is also made up of
different morphologies; valleys
of sadness that give rise to

breathtaking peaks of joy, only to
calm down again and become just

as quiet and flat as an endless,
alluring plain.
