How does the narrative of Cruces/Intersections affect you?

The narrative affects the way I choose to move through the various pathways … transitions, interactions, conflicts, victories. I notice the different textures, tones, and evolving nuances of my choices in often repetitive movements, and how that represents for me the freewill I have each step down one path or another.

What has Cruces/Intersections made you think about in your own life?

It allows me to reflect and project the different pathways I have taken and will take in life…even the pathway to an afterlife or the spiritual realm.
