To be underway on the way in order to clear the way. ... Nevertheless if we are to remain undenvay we must first of all and constantly give attention to the way. TIle movement, step by step, is what is essential here. Thinking clears its way by its own questioning advance. -Martin Heidegger, What Is Called Thinking?
