Allen,
Summer is the only time for Florida, …no lines. At the Myaka River State Park i felt like adam in the garden, alone with the wilderness and its critters, earth and sky, …and time, its melancholy ghosts of a stoneage race. same on the beach, …just sea and sky, margin and horizon. genie loci never appears midst crowds and turnstiles, …and petty subjectivity, never gets subsumed.
At the same time, the horror of over-developement, -everything sea-walled, canalized, diked, bridged over, cabled and electrified, paved and landscaped, signed and lighted, …is everywhere on the coast. And hyper-consumerism completes the debasement.
And the “illegals” everywhere, silently doing manual jobs, …they, of course, indigenes, …patronized by our moron prez to become citizens upon paying a fine and waiting a period of years, …devastating irony.
Actually went there to work, but above still applies.
Anyway, am hoping you’ll have a moment to show me some passage of early heid mysticism struggling to speech,…complete with your exegesis.

Some notes:

1. Not overdevelopment is the real problem. It is the mere and inevitable limit when things become undeniable.
But then the diagnosis of overdevelopment shows itself to be the real problem. Because it keeps out of sight
the character of development, which is such that overdevelopment cannot stay out. This is will to will.
The error is earlier in the traject, and can only be seen by eyes more beginning-like: poetical eyes.
But poetry now is itself overdevelopment of sentiment being the consequence of failing to see the
character of development by which all views on nature, society and art are already sealed in advance.

2. In Heidegger no mysticism and no struggling. I am getting very little answers here to the fundamental
problems, because one prefers/has no other choice than to remain within one’s own comprehension
. So much more with Heidegger. So far i have not seen ANY real taking of responsibility by America or
Americans. They seem not capable of it. Then things stop. And i stop caring. About the mechanism i
mean, not the people. (why is it necessary to add such?)

For instance: it is clear that the two new nations which were suddenly there (Toqueville) have executed
the old world. Because one cannot afford to acknowledge this, one rather remains within denial of
reality, with all its consequences. It is not at all necessary to find others to blame for that.
