For as long as human beings have travelled, we have created maps.

Not because the map is the landscape…

but because it helps us recognise where we are,

where we’ve been,

and what might lie ahead.

Every generation has created new maps.

Maps of the stars.

Maps of the body.

Maps of consciousness.

Maps of development.

Maps of meaning.

None of them are the territory.

But each has helped people orient themselves within it.
