Jag lyssnar till vinden som sopar igen mina spår. Vinden som ingenting minns och som inte alls förstår eller bryr sig om vad den gör, men som är så vacker att lyssna till. Den mjuka vinden, mjuk som glömskan. När den nya morgonen gryr skall jag vandra vidare. I den vindstilla gryningen skall jag börja vandringen på nytt med det allra första steget i den underbart orörda sanden.
