There is no mysterious essence we can call a 'place'. Place is change. It is motion killed by the mind, and preserved in the amber of memory.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Place is not a fixed concept but rather a fluid experience shaped by our memories and perceptions.
This quote suggests that the notion of 'place' is not a static entity but rather a dynamic experience that is influenced by our thoughts and memories. The idea that place is change implies that our understanding of where we are is fluid, constantly evolving with time and circumstance, and that our memories preserve these changes in a way that we can reflect upon them.
