The child, the shaman and the sense of the place

Whenever we are going to analyze and evaluate an environment, a site, a territory, we must free our minds from preconceptions and preclusions, trying to face them with an uncorrupted spirit, proposing to find conclusions only after systematizing data and information about the morphology of the place, its current state and its historical happenings that have changed it over time. Observers must have the shaman’s "educated" attitude and the child’s "naive" one, at the same time, contemplating the possibility of observing not only what is visible, but also the soul of the place, that vital pulsation that we perceive with difficulty because overwhelmed by the deafening din of a semantic "Babel".
