Speaking of Space and Place and Walking through cities...
ReplyDelete"When you give yourself to places, they give you yourself back; the m ore one comes to know them, the more one seeds them with the invisible crop of memories and associations that will be waiting for you when you come back, while new places offer up new thoughts, new possibilities. Exploring the world is one of the best ways of exploring the mind, and walking travels both terrains." Rebecca Solnit, WANDERLUST: A HISTORY OF WALKING.
