The state of being in the body and world and mind at the same time but not being busy with them. Walking on the landscape of thoughts and earth at the same time. While walking, all of our senses are active without interrupting each other. We recognize the known and realize the unknown. The more we walk on the same path, the more we plant ourselves in it.16While walking everything is linked. There is a feeling of boundlessness. End of a path is a start of a road. Each ending is a start of another one.1920212223Walking not as an instrumental act but as the destination. To pay attention to what’s happening after we begin and before the end. The journey in between. 24252627The multiple presence that we have while walking. The multiple presence we are. The constant transformation from one to another: Autonomous and interdependent. 2829We constantly dance in between. We live in between. Between knowing and anticipation; between imagination and experience. Imagination that carries knowledge and experience that embodies unknown.3233Unknown that reveals itself through veils; body, drawing, and language as veils that allow us to feel, recognize, and share. Veils that turn the world inside-out and let us inhabit it.34353637BibliographyGuest, Don, and Sam Shepard. Paris, Texas.Gersten, David.
