I will write about something I experienced during
a trip I took with a
couple of friends. We were
supposed to go to the Sureanu Mountains to the
place
that used to be the Spiritual Center of our Ancestors,
the Dacians,
a place called Sarmizegetusa. After a
long trip by train, in the morning
we got to a small
town near the mountains. It was around 5, and we were
waiting for something that could take us closer to
the mountains, when
an old guy approached us.
He was a small person wearing Sandals, Trousers,
a T-shirt,
a warm thick Jacket, a Beard and a Clown like haircut.
He
stopped, stared at us for like a half a minute gave us
“good morning!” and
started asking what are we up to.
We explained it to him and then he begun
something that
was rather a monologue that had an exchange of information:
He said.. we should take care with our trip to Sarmizegetusa,
(What we do,
Say or Think), because That Place is
like a Sacred Place; then He taughtt us
about our Ancestors
the Dacians, about things that are misinterpreted by
the Historians of our time. But the most stunning thing
we heard was that
he can change,(if he wants it), the weather
in a microclimate, a valley
for instance. He asked
us what valley are we going to use to reach to the
fortress. We told him the name of the valley and he
said: "Yes, Use that
valley, T’ll be a sunny day over there....
Next time we’ll see one anouther I’ll teach you
how to do that”, he added. ”Now I have to go ,
to drink a coffee and then
take some money from the bank,
buy me food for the next week, as I will
lock myself inside
with my books. "Farewell!” And then he minded his way.
In the end I must add that the valley was a sunny and
shiny one that day,
and the trip was a great and
luminous one.
Post script: I don’t know if he
was a Shaman, a Priest or just a Sage,
all I feel is
that he wasn’t a mad man.
