“As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. A description of [the city] as it is today should contain all [the city's] past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls.” - Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities.
All you need to do is start, and countless revelations lie on the other side of a sensory awakening that can be gained from the simple practice of - listening.
From that point on, the world will reveal itself to you in scrolls, in artefacts, in histories and symphonies of sound that are ever unfolding in this constantly living, changing universe - a universe that always offers a point of contact through awareness.
