from where I stand in the picture

A stone is not just a stone, it is most likely a treasure. Discarded bits and pieces found on the streets needs to be given a
second chance, a second look... never to be named "rubbish" before it's true potential has been examined. it might have been lost, it might be of little worth to most, but most possibly, something about it can be a beautiful find. everything speaks, everything has meaning like everyone has a story to tell. A walk is not just a walk, it is a journey in time...a pilgrim's adventure, a work in progress. A city is not a city, it is a castle... and the river is not water, it is life breathing in and out of the city with the tide. A building is not bricks and concrete, it is a home, it is a heart... with doors that can open, inner and outer walls and windows like eyes. The sky is not thin air, it is rock solid as the stars in space... concrete like the white paper in a picture... the gound on which the buildings stand...it is not a background, it is THE ground on which everything rests.
