Three routes


We take three routes and walk ahead. Someone begins with the place as a whole, tracing movements of things, lives, sounds and smells. Someone begins with its parts to see its metamophosis and its touch to its proximal parts. While someone stands still and sees the time and its apparitions go by. And we find each other on the same way.
