I think another aspect is art....some Australian indigenous artwork exactly maps the land forms and are painted by people that have never been in a plane, never seen the topography from the air, yet they know it.<br />Poem can be read here: http://wendytaleo.blogspot.com/2015/03/landed-v2.html<br /><br />I loved this post, multi-facetted and evocative. thanks Simon.Wendy Taleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270814050667023239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194534881328954061.post-14998234824317633472016-02-10T19:27:47.668-08:002016-02-10T19:27:47.668-08:00I believe this, Simon.

It has to do with surveying, mapping, even realms that are yet to come" (4,5). The realms yet to come are occupying my mind more these days. You map well, and reading for me is become mapping, not tracing. I read to learn what I think, not so much what the writer thought. Your writing particularly helps me to do that, and I thank you. The best writers always do that.keith.hamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404376705918243534noreply@blogger.com
