The Mexican certainly went in from Tortilla Flat each time he looked for the Lost Dutchman's Mine - but then we know why. He got to eat tortillas at Tortilla Flat (and he loved sitting there in the saddles by the bar). more later... Ms P calls...

'The space-timeless realm of 'trans-psychic reality' naturally tempts one to any number of speculations and hypotheses not only about spirits but also about a Beyond and a life after death. Jung personally held the opinion that man would miss something essential if he did not reflect on these matters and even indulge in fantasies about them. His life would be poorer, his old age perhaps more anxiety-ridden, and furthermore he would break with a spiritual tradition that reaches back to the dawn of human culture. From earliest times death and the idea of a life after death have filled man's thoughts, and in religion, philosophy, and art have prompted answers to what is rationally unanswerable. To throw all this to the winds is, from the psychological standpoint, symptomatic of an atrophy of instinct and a wilful disregard of one's psychic roots, both of which must be paid for dearly. Death remains a terrifying darkness and becomes an enemy'.

From the LIFE AND WORK of C. J. Jung, Aniela Jaffe, translated by R. F. C. Hull, Harper & Row, Publishers, New York, Evanston, San Francisco, London

Above is a tip from the Clown, a fan of Jung.

Who but the Mexican would go in from Tortilla Flat in search of the mine. The country around Salt Canyon Lake is inhospitable to say the least. A mate from Payson had taken me there once. He was after grouse, me after answers. A few forays into the cacti and shrubs here taught me that the Mexican's palate was his largest addiction. So we didn't go in that way. Up at Tortilla Flat (not Steinbeck's) i browsed the bookshop - just like we do our computer files now - and picked up a copy of 'The Circle Stone'. Simple blue cover. i literally picked it up from the floor where it mysteriously fell at my feet.

[Ed note: In the collage above you will see reference to Himeji, Japan. i don't know if it is still there but Phoenix Airport used to have a model of the White Egret (Himeji) Castle in its foyer. i later learnt that Phoenix and Himeji were 'Sister Cities' - perfect. The egret and the phoenix meet. i don't know who did the 3-D model in Google of Himeji Castle but when i get back to it i'll add the appropriate credit. Your modeling is superb, and i felt as if i was back in Himeji: http://cp.c-ij.com/europe/papercraft/dk/building/download/himeji-castle01_e_a4.pdf Now that is origami on a grand scale!]
