Directional Symbols

Showing up at a week long workshop like this is a good time to look for both inner and outer direction. I'm particularly pleased with this trip since about half of each day is directed time, and the other half is personal time. Personal time seems to be spent in gaggles in bars sipping internet together from a small wireless connection, taking long walks (alone or together), napping, or writing. All are noble pursuits. This picture is from a lovely solo walk I took along the shores of Lake Erie. This lake looks enough like an ocean we spent some time today putting together a list of visual cues about how to tell lakes from oceans.

The odd things writers do in their spare time...
