I couldn’t fall back to sleep for a long time. // He didn’t tell anyone exactly why he needs to go there, but everyone knew that he has a number of reasons for everything. // Something new is starting now. We can be compared to someone who is playing, and everyone is dancing. It seems very strange to those who can’t hear the music. The same way people don’t understand why you’re escorting me. But once we return I’ll be able to play and you’ll know how to dance.

He told his companion he should return home immediately, but the companion wanted to see the city, so they continued on their way. // They didn’t know where they were, and he told them at each crossroad which way they should go.
wanted to see the city, so they continued on their way. // They didn’t know where they were, and he told them at each crossroad which way they should go. / He gave him money to rent a horse, carriage and driver. / He’s pulling the very cart on which he’s riding. // I followed people that were descending through the valley on a wooden footbridge to a large block of stone so they could stand by it and read for a moment. / Although it was getting dark they read for a moment by a large block of stone that was surrounded by creaky wooden shelves with books.

He leaned against the rock with his left hand and began to rhythmically shuffle his feet with his head bowed. // Everything fell away, on its own and with little help.
Everything fell away, on its own and with little help. // On the third day it occurred to me that if I was meant to belong to a certain church it would happen on its own. // So, how’s the film? / You’re not a film; you’re a radio. / What kind of radio? / Radio Salt. // I’ve never abandoned this wall. // Some people can get where they’re going using their innate sense of direction, but I need a map. I make a guess at each crossroad from the picture; I count streets and whisper their names.
I’ve never abandoned this wall. // Some people can get where they’re going using their innate sense of direction, but I need a map. I make a guess at each crossroad from the picture; I count streets and whisper their names. // If I wanted to fit in somewhere now, it would be a step back along a road someone else has already covered. // Who are you with?

Who are you with? Is it a girl or a boy? You have to come together. // At the end of the trip she sat next to a house. She moved around it following the movement of the shade and watched the dry weeds and shrubs stirred by the wind.
