Our world is made up of lines, from comet tails to DNA. Every­ thing is  connected. Every­ thing is sequential. Every­ thing that moves, from a  snail to a lava flow leaves a line, a trace of passing. A line can be fate, a  commitment, a fact, a relationship, a place. Some lines are well trodden paths, some intersect, some pass at a distance, some return to their  origins. We all walk the line. We have an end and a beginning which  is joined to a much longer invisible line in the past and in the ­ future. —Anne Seymour in  Richard Long’s book Walking the Line , 2009, p. 9
