While I was playing flâneur in the city, my flatmate went for long therapeutic walks to Granton beach time after time.

The two hours walk from our flat to the beach made one’s body exhausted, and one’s mind calm and clear.

She stepped into the sand, picked up a branch and wrote this sentence down. It was like a silent shouting.

Just like her temporary message would eventually be erased by waves, we were just passengers to this place, but at the moment, we were indeed a part of Edinburgh.

<sub>當我在城市裡到處觀察的時候，我的室友經常走上一段長長的路到北端的海邊。

從我們家到海邊大約需要走兩小時的路程，身體的勞累達到某種程度後，似乎能夠讓心靈安靜下來，變得澄澈。

我跟著她一路到車道的盡頭，看著她跨出步伐踩進沙灘，拾起一根樹枝然後留下了那一句話，彷彿是無聲的吶喊。

就像沙灘上的字跡總是會被打上來的波浪抹去一樣，我們對這個地方來說也只是過客而已，但是在那個時空當中，我們確確實實是愛丁堡的一份子。</sub>
