Landscape, over which storm clouds are gathering.

Seemingly unremarkable landscape, one we merely pass through. Yet it is interwoven with small paths leading to places long forgotten. When we step off the main road, which appears so clearly straightforward, we might get lost, but we might also find ourselves and reach a place strangely familiar. From various angles, we can look back at the main road. Decide whether to return and head straight toward our goal, or pause for a moment. Observe the rushing crowds chasing the future, we cannot avoid, looming over us like storm clouds. We wonder whether to bypass the direct main road. All of this just to avoid facing what lies ahead. Along the way, we encounter many unique places, but if we ultimately end up back on the main road, won’t we acknowledge that it too might have something to offer?
