Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Can Love Melt an Iceberg Climate?

If you have ever read the Iliad and the Odyssey, which was written by the blind poet Homer, and whose verses were written down by Homer's student, then you surely know everything about Odysseus, if not just to say that Odysseus' return to his beloved Penelope was much longer than he planned.There were many obstacles and stormy nights, so the legend remains that Odysseus found a cave and made a shelter under it until the storm calmed down, because sea storms can be deadly.That fairytale cave has remained on the island of Mljet until today to welcome tourists from all over the world.So, Rinota and Lintang passed under the tunnel where Odysseus once found salvation.The beauty of that area is difficult to describe in ordinary words, if I use a descriptive dictionary it will be like paradise on earth like the island of Bali. The pure blue transparent sea that sways in the January sun and the coast that hugs it and surrounds it with flowing rocks allow you to let go of all your worries and surrender to the charms of the beauty of untouched nature, from a distance the forest of pine branches, which in summer are full of crickets' songs, now only the voice of the seagulls interrupts silence."We are just like Odysseus returning to his island!""Can we rent this boat for longer destinations to Egypt for example?""Hardly, they made a plan to make these yachts for local excursions," said Giovanni Polo. "And where should we buy a boat here, is there a place nearby?""Hmm, there are procedures, and you'll also need to learn how to drive a yacht.""That's not a problem, I have a yacht in Indonesia, but it remains anchored, it should be simpler to buy a boat, surely my tourists will think like me or they will buy a boat in their country and anchor in the Adriatic."Then Lintang answered with a lovely voice:"Here's what's happening, the seducer Rinota used to bring his girlfriends on a yacht in Indonesia, and today he can't go back with his legal wife on the yacht."Giovanni Polo burst out laughing."I would never have thought he was like that!"Rinota shook his head."She is joking because she knows she is my greatest love, otherwise she would be angry like all jealous women.""We only had some opponents to our relationship in the family.""Like Shakespeare's tragedy play Romeo and Juliet." Even Shakespeare's script was fiction, a famous Italian author Dante Alighieri wrote in Divine Comedy about two noble Italian families from Verona in a political conflict for countless years and because of that they defended the marriage between two conflicting families. "There are such tragic love stories all over the world, like war brides or stone wedding legends.""And that just means that the world was once a single civilization that spoke the same language or had the power to communicate with everyone.""Very interesting, you made a good point.""It seems to me that only in the near future man will discover much more about ancient civilizations than we know so far because technology has advanced much more in the last 25 years.Of course, those scientific discoveries can help us understand the world around us and the entire universe because everything is connected, and we are like in a circle that turns in a cycle where everything affects each other.""Yes, unfortunately climate change made it extremely hot last year which caused tropical cyclones and devastating floods in Asia, also climate change makes us sick""But in prehistory there was no heavy industry, so there were still extreme climate changes like the Ice Age.""Now that we have arrived for the first time in countries where it snows, it is more difficult for us to adapt our bodies to weather than for you who were born in a country where there are four seasons.""Every day I take a D vitamin to have a strong immune system in order not to suffer from meteoropathy.""Imagine, how difficult was it for the aliens to adjust to the climate to descend from the cold Sirius to the hot desert by the Nile?""Maybe they were on a tourist trip too.""Most likely.""Sirius came close to Earth during its journey through the Cosmos but is so many light-years away from our planet that the next encounter with them must wait for generations and generations of people in the future ahead of us.Yet planet Earth flourished after their visit, creating a civilization whose achievements we still admire today.Unfortunately, much has been destroyed by the patina of time, and secrets like the construction of the pyramids have been lost, what powerful energy was driving them if it is not some cosmic energy from space that has not yet been revealed to us..."Then the sound of the phone ringing was heard."Just a moment, Lintang, my parents are on video call.Hey mom and dad are in India on a trip for the first time.Maha Kumbh Mela started after 12 years; this is a special global event for all the people of the world to find spiritual cosmic immortality in the churning ocean of "holy milk" in river Ganga.They want us to join them because this festival lasts for 6 weeks, that is until February 26, 2025.""You two better go to India now, the weather is cold here this year, unfortunately because some years we are without snow " Giovanni suggested. "Oh, no, we don't go jet, just now we are planning to visit a town Bar in Montenegro," said Lintang."Look, it is snowing over there, strong wind stopped ships from entering ports and marines."The other side was whitened with shiny sparkling rhinestones and snowflakes, painting a New Year's card with a brush from a fluffy cloud directly in nature."If I am you, this is the best time to visit Maha Kumbh festival in India because there is sunshine, and you will just get fast winter tanned instead of freezing here these days.One of my relatives married an Indian man several years ago. She threw out all her winter coats she brought with her in India without knowing that in some parts of India there is no winter season all year long just like in the place she resides-Chennai, an urban city in the coastal area.Summertime here is very hot, but winter can be very cold too, also strong cold wind in Dalmatia and water goes frozen outside.I am sure she is also visiting Maha Kumbh this time, you must know that it is the confluence of three rivers where there will be Maha Kumbh Mela festival, one of the rivers Yamuna represents love and a sort of pilgrimage for couples."
