You walk a path that already has somebody else's footprints in the dust, between fields planted before you knew they existed, on a morning that started, for the people who live here, an hour ago. A man passes you on a scooter going the other way, with a sack on the back, and nods. You have crossed over. You are awake in their day now, not yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalking through Bali at six in the morning. The terraced rice fields are still half in shadow.

The road outside your house was paved by a council you never voted for. The tradition of the Sunday family dinner was set up in a kitchen that no longer exists, by people you only half remember.

The steps are old, the treads worn smooth by feet long since gone.
