„Besides , consciousness is subject to a certain restriction. At any given instant it can only fix on a smaller number of objects simultaneously. Everything else is, at that moment, unconscious, it is only the sequences and successions of these conscious “snapshots” that give us the impression that our conscious world forms a continuum, that we are perceiving and comprehending our world within an overriding context. We can never form a picture of the world in its entirety, our consciousness is too limited for that, we can only see what the spotlight happens to illuminate”. (C.G.Jung, “The Tavistock lectures 1935”).

Unlike space and residence the path is everflowing. Its essence is movement, restlessness, flux. It has a utopian side. ”The path is the mark of infinitive distance. It sets the static landscape in motion towards the horizon” (Linschoten).The flowing character of the path reinforces our sense of the flow of time.” When we stand, we stand in Heraclites River. When we walk, we ourselves become a river, a drop in this river, a piece3 of wood floating upon it. It is probably fear that always starts us moving again, fear of being washed away, of being submerged. Standing, time roils past our bodies like floodwaters around the piers of a bridge. Moving the passage of time becomes endurable”(Rosei).
