 This is how Lucatello speaks of us, not the ‘us’ that is rooted in a specific historical moment, the modern man of progress, science, technology and 24 hour rolling news, but rather the ‘us’ that we have always been and always will be; in other words, Lucatello speaks of universal man; of the signs and footprints of which we are made, of universally lived experience, of our shared human heritage, rooted in the past but with us always, anticipating our every act, our every move.These signs our part of our universal history and we carry them within us, and yet we tend to ignore them, to the point of forgetting them altogether.They appear to be beyond our reach and yet are close at hand.
