“And felt the hillside thronged by souls unseen, Who knew the interest in me, and were keen that man alive should understand man dead.
—JOHN MASEFIELD : " Biography"
“we crave to know more of the life and doings of the people who lived in Britain before the Romans came.
Those authors who have written most feelingly on these outdoor footprints of a long-past people, and have dwelt most upon the topography of three results of human effort —camps, mounds, and tracks
-mound
1Which mounds seem to have been originally intended as places of sepulture埋葬, but in many instances were afterwards used as strongholds, bonhills or beacon-heights, or as places on which adoration was paid to the host of heaven. -GEORGE BORROW: " Wild Wales "
3It is not easy to state a dividing line between mounds and moats, the last having evolved from the first.
moats
4视觉 a barrow was built " upon the cliff that was high and broad, by wave-farers widely seen." 远处看
Observation shows that in such positions the mounds seen from lower places show as points against the skyline 从下仰视

大自然就是我的老师，而每一个trail都是我的功课。这是一件非常有趣的事情。我一个月前就在思考自我的重新教育。每一个三年是一个阶段，而大三上完我完成了我该达到的部分，也是一个新的开始。我的再教育来自两个方面，观察与实践。但是在英国走完的3个trail之后，我发现两者并不用分开
自我的再教育，要考虑的是方向是什么，方法是什么。幸运的是在苏格兰的trail中，我自然而然的的到了答案。大自然。把trail作为作业，他的结果是，对于眼睛来说观察越来越敏锐，这个是需要训练的。对于心灵而言，他越来越找到自己的归属或者根。
这一点上会产生两个疑问：
一是动静，徒步作为一种动态的活动，他是线性的，有一定标志物landmark的。冥想是静态的，我是相信通过后者更可能达到空相，而我现在身体上选择前者。对于行为上，一个monk可能是一个艺术家吗，或者一个艺术家可能成为一个monk吗，因为我们做出的每一个动作force都具有欲望和赋予对象一个定义/功能性。
二是根。我的根是一个文化上的东西吗？作为新一代在城市里长大的孩子，这个假根的迭代和污染加剧了“无形的手“的力量。那我的根是什么。5月份我开始游荡，从伦敦游荡到纽约，马上又要从纽约游荡到日本，日本再游荡到意大利，意大利再游荡到丹麦...... 写到这儿我发而觉得自己是像是游牧民族的人（nomadic pastoralism），我的根就是大自然。好极了，如果我们继续这个思路，土堆的建立是游牧的人是理解，连接天地的建筑物。先得利用一些标志（landmark）来理解天地运行的规律/方向，而同时这个理解的建立是在帮助他们生存。
游牧民族看待世界的尺度是很不一样的。看世界的尺度取决于什么？
