...dashed...

…dashed… is a playful, thoughtful, walking, experience in which failure is as likely as success. As we walk, attention shifts from possible outcomes to what happens along the way.

Ok, the idea…

We drop a small, bright, engineered, log into the river. Together, we follow the log’s lead, along the path next to the river as it’s carried by the flow. I guess we will will it on. Perhaps the log will snag, sink, or get caught in eddies. It can outstrip us or,  make us move at a crawl pace. We might lose it altogether.

Hope. Let’s see.
