Everyone who walks has his own floodlit memories -- his own fluttering windwheel of scenes and sounds and scents. (It is often the scents that linger longest, though you do not know it until they come again.) But no matter what the hue of the individual memories, they all come from the green world. And in the end, when you have learned to connect -- only to connect -- you understand that it is simply the green world that you seek.
--Colin Fletcher, from The Complete Walker III
