the memories of
childhood remember paths first …
things, people second

Children need paths to explore, to take bearings on the earth in which they live, as a navigator takes bearings on familiar landmarks.

If we excavate the memories of childhood, we remember the paths first, things and people second —

paths down the garden,

the way to school,

the way round the house,

corridors through the bracken or long grass.

Tracking the paths of animals was the first and most important element in the education of early man.

Me and my grand son walking the paths of Hilton Head like we own it.

And why not?
