Another video from our friend, Martijn. He's continuing to build his own design of a wooden crane with which to lift the heavy stones off his buildings in order to do structural repair and replacement of some beams in the ceiling, to better bear the weight of the stone roof. He's working first on the structure in which he's residing. When he's done, he'll place the stones back on top.
But there is one misty moonlit night when, incredibly, he hears a wolf or wolves howling on the next mountain over. It's eerie, but quite eerily beautiful. The following morning when talking with his neighbor, Brother Johannes, he learns the legend behind the Italian name for his own particular locale, the "Meadow of the Wolf."
This fellow is living his own scaled-down version of a simple, zen-like existence, in an unassuming, free-of-intent way. Chop wood, carry water.
