Distance does something unusual to memory and meaning. What felt overwhelming from close up becomes clear and small from far away. People we struggled to understand become more legible. Places we thought we knew reveal new contours we never noticed while we were inside them.
This is not about forgetting. It is about the perspective that only comes with space. Movement teaches us that our angle of view is never the only one, and that wisdom often requires us to first step away from what we think we already understand.
