Memory Trace
On the way back from Klatch I stopped by the Viewpoint. I pondered the contour of the edge, tracing along it with my eyes, trying to commit it to memory. Of course, I remember the general form. But forms are deceiving. We tend to simplify, or stereotype them, just as we stereotype so many aspects of reality. That makes it easier for us to remember. I'd like to be able to remember the edge accurately enough, though, that I could draw pictures of it without looking at it, or even a photo of it--just seeing it in my mind's eye. I'm going to work on this.
