It is hard to choose your path.The straight line is not always the shortest or the best way.The chosen path changes you and your environment.

Metrum

People don't like open space. They make people feel insecure. People like to observe open spaces from above.When you are on a high ground, you seem in control. People can't comprehend huge things. In order to understand something big you need to divide it. You need to count it. You need meters, counters, gauges, timers, watches. The time is the ultimate open space. When you finished compartmentalizing, you can carve your path in the thick forest of statistics and reports.

Animals in Landscape, 2002

Choices we made change the path of life we are moving on. You can start from yellow figures in the lower left corner, and your faith will take you over the water straight up into the sunrise. Or you can take a path along the edge between the blue deep waters and green shore.That path is covered in brown(common sense) and grey(doubt). The analysis of the world as a reflection in the water (in the center) takes you to the next level(upper right corner). This new level opens up in the clouds of doubt and uncertainty (the grey background layer). There you can go to the sunrise or keep exploring. And the game never ends.
