                    four directions out there, four contrasting interpretations
                    of a prepared text and open score based on david henri
                    thoreau’s transcendental essay about walking (1851). 
                     
                    readwalking, solitary thinging, in partial light *, step by
                    step, a word at a time 
                    in silence aloud, together alone, discreetly randomly, in
                    hope in wonder, here and there.

                      “Wherever a (wo)man
                        separates from the multitude, and goes her own way in
                        this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road.” (henry
                        david thoreau, life without principle, 1863) 
                         
                        “language is like a road, it cannot be perceived all at
                        once because it unfolds in time, whether heard or read.”
