A man came by and said he had been looking for the trail earlier on (he had read the text on the nearby signpost) but couldn’t find it. The path is almost invisible sometimes, depending on the distance to it, the light conditions at that moment as well as the growth on site, so one has to look carefully after the pathway. I showed him the trail and then we came to talk about statistics. He referred to a fun video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNboV7Uhg-8 which shows some monkeys (stand-ins for people) who are partying on the results of their efforts...

A lot of walking today, 10 500 steps. It’s interesting that so much is happening with the growth after the rainy days. A lot of different flowers are in bloom. I have extended the path today. I have also added another loop. Many people have asked why there is a loop (now there are two) and what is its connection to temperature? I don’t have a clear answer to that. I guess I want the trail to be, not a temperature curve, but an indication of how high or low the temperature is. More to come on this…

After a long period of draught and hot, sunny weather, there has been a lot of heavy rain. It affects the trail in different ways. The grass gets green and wants to grow of course, and I experience a lot of energy and resistance from the plants. It demands more walking from me to maintain the path. The humidity has also changed the ground in the path a bit. There is only mud in some parts of the path now but there are also many plants which grow in the pathway. I also saw today that the edges have become...

When I walk fast I go with the flow. When I come to the end of the line I go a little bit further, a bit like if braking, slowing down is not part of the (drawing of) the line. The line (and the making of the line) consist of that movement which is the walk. Slowing down is not, so it happens outside of the area where the line is supposed to be (..come). A somewhat similar thing happens when I prolong the line in new, un-walked grass. I know where the line is going to stop, but to...

People come by to talk. They see me walking back and forth. They read the text on the signpost and I say Hello. Today a retired construction worker and his wife said people should play and have more fun. I reckon they considered my work as play. Good! They walked the trail with me. A woman with two small girls came by and the girls walked the line back and forth many times. After a while they started to make somersaults along the trail. They were very busy and energetic. The mother said the trail reminds her of a mandala...

Ways of walking People ask me, How do you walk? Maybe a strange question, a simple answer would be that I just walk. But that isn’t entirely true. It is a good question. I realize that I walk in several different ways or modes. The aim is to make marks by walking. I walk naturally with a gap between my feet of approximately 10 centimeters. That makes a trail which is about 26-32 centimeters wide. This is the general mode I use when I walk. But I also want to make parts of the trail narrower. Then I walk with...
