Mjölnir, you really went to the Valle Benedetta, or these are experiences made by other people?After walking in the woods, at the end almost without notice, you can see a small lawn and see the Sambuca. I emerge from the darkness of the wood and on the small bridge that leads to the monastery I see a big crow, as I have seen rarely (consider that I often go to the Alps and I hard the opportunity to embark on the imperial crow, or corvus corax, which is the largest of Its species).
The crow looked at me for a while, then opened its wings and flew away. At that point, the darkness of the woods and the various thoughts on what I would find and seen were gone away, and I realized that the place was accessible and that the day would be at its best. The crow in fact, as far as I am concerned, is a positive animal.
A sense of tranquility and lucidity pervaded my mind as I approached the monastery after meeting the crow.
It's up to you decide in what to believe.
