Each of us is at the center of our landscape – all our landmarks and pathways lead us back to ourselves.
The shapes, colors and sounds of landmarks reach out to our senses, while the pathways affects us in a deeper, less obvious way. The landmarks are surface, while the pathways hints at something else: the purpose of our particular journey at that moment.
If our landmarks are similar to the more superficial qualia which our senses sense, then our pathways are similar to the mind’s interpretation of the same qualia.
It is the pathways which inform our landscapes and make a greater whole out of them; thus we can, if we put our minds (and hearts) to the task, we can see beyond ourselves.
