enimagnetic
and indecipherable
this arcane force
that leads me
nowhere neither
straight or narrow
before or behind
the curve
not in
or out
on either
side
you could
call it wandering
except for
the fact that
it seems to
have some
destination
in mind
For dVerse, hosted by De, a quadrille using the word magnet, with more art from the archives.

I was never any good at following either maps or plans.

Husband handed me a parcel, something he’d ordered over the internet and said it was an app to help me with right and left when giving directions in the car. I believed him…

I can never get horizontal or vertical right either. With right and left I always have to pause and think which hand I write with.

Ha ha! Me too. I admire people who can work out which way to go using as their base line somewhere they can’t even see. I can’t get from a to b unless I’ve physically walked the route dozens of times using landmarks like plants in windows or a broken gate to navigate.

Its very easy for me to get disoriented even if I’ve been somewhere before. I wonder what it is that gives us a spatial sense. I always have trouble with 3-D space.

It’s that thing in the brain called a hippocampus (why it’s called after a seahorse I’ve no idea). I imagine that people like you and I don’t have one, or it’s more like a mermaid than a sea horse…

“Enimagnetic” – I love that descriptor for the visual and poetic pull of the journey!

There are always a few ways of arriving at a destination, Kerfe. We each have to chose the best one for our own purposes.

There are. I do tend to take the least direct path sometimes though.

I love this description, the best kind of “wandering” for all who wander are not lost.

I love this. “Enimagnetic” is the perfect portmanteau. It reminds me of God’s plan (because I believe that God does have a plan). We are drawn toward something, even if we don’t know why or when or what.

That’s an interesting observation. I do think the universe gives us a push now and then, even if we aren’t always paying attention.

I think every rambling has a true destination… you just have to find it as you walk.

Destination or journey, wandering can be fruitful.

It can. As they say, any road will take you there.

I love the portmanteau word ‘enimagnetic’, Kerfe, and the wonderful, wandering and meandering of your quadrille. I often feel like I’m being led by an arcane force and have no idea of the destination – a magical mystery tour of life.
