Did you manually crank the window down to share that?

For sure. At a minimum think it is good that your articulation lends Grosvenor some credibility.😀

Ther is also this counterpoint:

This is just to say
That I have borrowed your symbolic forms
For the rivers and the glaciers
That you had in your layer
They were cool and delicious

It was your original thought. I don't critique dolphin shape because of prior ichthyosaur form. I believe what you are saying is true. A career mapper said it similarly. All maps work off a language system of sign and symbol. Some maps are epic poetictales, other haiku. A few emotionally grab us.

“A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.” ~ Gilbert H. Grosvenor, Editor of National Geographic (1903- 1954)

My surfing picture looks like an awkward circus bear, wet in trunks, fully owning that everyone is desperately avoiding his line.

I'm having a "managing accounts on AGOL vs Enterprise portal via Active Directory and single sign on" so their leadership team can see different dashboards kind of day.

Great approach and goal. My good friend Jack and I used drawing as part of our nature Journaling and citizen science work. So much joy and skill. See if any of it resonates for you.

Absolutely, travel for past two years at new job not approved, next year looks good. Care of parent and family have me on a short leash this year. Has next site been decided yet? It would be great to take in the magic of a new place again with ya!
