He tells the story with the ease of a preoccupied traveler who shifts between past and present because he believes they cannot be separate. Watching the roads and rivers that loop and whorl through the land, he travels through the rivers that flow constantly through the minds of its people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd more importantly, through his own.
