A map can be many things.

A map can be many things. It can give you a hint of what is where. Or it can be a memory of what used to be there. A map can be an idea, a cue for curiosity, or an excuse for exploration.
Pick a place on the map – somewhere you have never been. Better if it is empty and boring, for then you can fill it with all the treasures that you find. It does not matter where the place is, for all you are looking for is an excuse to go and look.
Follow your map to that place, but once you arrive, follow your nose. You will be surprised (if you allow yourself to be).
