It strikes me that your <a href="http://artandperception.com/2010/01/a-little-help-here.html" rel="nofollow">new compass</a> would be an excellent one to guide a proper wandering. Jay,

I quite agree with you and George Lakoff about the centrality of space in all aspects of our understanding.

It strikes me that your new compass would be an excellent one to guide a proper wandering.

It seems that getting into the right frame of mind--meaning really feeling that I can freely dedicate a full day to this--is the hardest part. I'm not sure when I'll be ready, but I'm still very much looking forward to it. hi phil,

It’s embarrassing to report that I haven’t yet carried out this project, after more than a year. It seems that getting into the right frame of mind–meaning really feeling that I can freely dedicate a full day to this–is the hardest part.

But I don't think I could manage your level of multi-sensory functionality, June. Regarding optimal: That may make sense in that when I'm engaged with listening, and since I have no goal but to walk, I can end up in some place quite unexpected, without applying explicit techniques like prescribed turning patterns.
