Brief reflection on an old woman with a barrow

04/28/2026 14:58h
Given an old woman and given a barrow. I.e. the system old woman O and barrow B. The system is moving from the paved yard Y to the corner C, from the corner C to the Stone S, from the stone S to the forest F, from the forest F to the horizon H. The horizon H is the point where vision ends and memory begins. Nevertheless the system is moving at a constant velocity v, along a constant path, through a constant destiny, renewing its impulse and its meaning from within itself. A relatively independent system: in landscapes from horizon to horizon always just one old woman with a barrow. And thus we have, once and for all, that geodetic unit, the unit of travel there and back, the unit of autumn, the unit Our daily bread, the unit of wind and lowering sky, the unit of the distance home, the unit As we forgive them, the unit of nightfall, the unit of footsteps and dust, the unit of life-fulfillment Amen.
