Notes from the road
Somewhere ahead of us there is a book: stories, illustrations, reflections and the things the road teaches slowly.
It is not finished. It may never be entirely finished. Until then, a few pages are left open here.
Note 007 — On fog
Fog does not hide the road. It hides how far you can see, which is a different loss and easier to survive.
Note 019 — On strangers
Most people you meet on the road are carrying something you would not agree to carry.
Note 034 — On rivers
A river is the world's argument against holding on. It makes the argument every day, without raising its voice.
Note 052 — On firelight
Warmth is not the point of a fire. Being able to see who else is sitting there is the point.
