Koohii Story 1 Imagine a road built so well that it takes only a week to travel the circumference of the earth.
Koohii Story 2 Actually the week is like a never ending road where we travel in a circle through the same seven days again and again, the circumference is always the same. circumference (#317) also means circuit or lap, so that also makes think about the rotations of the moon, sun and the earth -- all important for measuring all kinds of time periods.
