The beauty in the simplicity. Beauty can be found in our actions and decisions too. Beyond the fake beauty of the romantic Cottage-Core. The real beauty is sublime here, which is the hard and not tempting decision to abandon all the facilities the city life offers to us; and try to live a productive life far away from the modernity. A place that will make you face your real self, make you humble accepting your limitations, make you responsible since there is no one to blame for your mistakes. I asure that work hard will not be the major obstacle.

La Vallée de Larmes, oil painting by Gustave Doré, 1883.

Taking pity the human race, condemned by the fault of the first parent, He -the Splendor of the Father's glory, the Image of the substance of God, the Ruler of the world, the Judge of the future age- came down to us from the heavenly citadel and the high throne of God to save us.

- Pope Pius II, Cum bellum hodie (2.4.8), trans. Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. Original Latin below.

Misertus humani generis, primi parentis culpa jam pridem damnati, ut nos redimeret, ex arce caelesti et altissimo Dei throno, splendor paternae gloriae, figura substantiae Dei, moderator orbis, judex futuri saeculi, ad nos descendit[.]

“Her wisdom enrages me, her modesty irritates me, her humility annihilates me and oppresses me, and her whole behavior provokes me to unbearable wrath. I abhor Her more than all the children of Adam. There is in Her a special power, which often makes it impossible for me to approach Her; if I assail Her with suggestions, She does not admit them, and all my efforts in her regard until this hour have been entirely fruitless. Hence it is important for us all that we find a remedy; and we must make the greatest exertions, lest our power be ruined. I desire the destruction of this soul more than that of all the world.”

From City of God by Mary of Agreda; a vision of the devil addressing his legion about the Mother of God as a child.
