Adventures of an Urban Nomad - Hidden Treasure

Laurence Harrould - Sunday, June 12, 2011

This week I discovered a hidden treasure. You know your friends - well at least you think you do.

When we started on our nomadic wanderings - a whole 2 weeks ago :-) - a question occurred to us about maintaining our library subscription. We've really been enjoying our local library and have read hundreds of books from there. As we will no longer be residents in the area our connection to the library will eventually lapse.  I'd also kept books out of our packing thinking I'd have a chance to read them expecting there'd be less distraction from household tasks.

This week I was checking out the bookshelves of the house we're staying in. A lot of the books were of the type I expected - as I said, you think you know your friends. In this exploration I found books which really surprised me. Firstly, there were a number by authors Danita & I enjoy when we want to veg out. And then I found some which really surprised me.

As many of you will know, I'm into astrology and a lot of New Age subjects. I'd never had conversations with these friends - whose house we're minding - on these subjects. However, they have some fascinating books on exactly this. Also, the timing on finding them is interesting. 

I was recently was sent some discs of a talk by Santos Bonacci called The Key. It's about the precession of the equinox, how this gives the astrological ages (remember the Age of Aquarius?) and the meaning of this. I found his talks very informative.

Just after watching his presentation, while exploring upstairs looking for something to read, I found the book "Keeper of Genesis" which is about the Sphinx, the Pyramids and their relationship to the precession of the equinoxes. Now I personally think there's no such thing as coincidence and so the talk and the book appearing at the same time was intriguing. I've also found some other books on similar topics in the upstairs room. 

I think we might need to stay longer :-)
