Releasing Tacit Knowledge with Quick Sketches

Test 1.
Have you ever tried to capture your "place and time"? Thinking about the past or future is very difficult and linear if you just try to project backwards (to recall memories of events, milestones) or project forwards (in anticipation of goals to be achieved). Events move in all directions, they reflect reality as much as personal fiction or misrepresentations as well as aspirations.

The sketch below (first in an iterative series), is an attempt to get a feel for my "landscape" in terms of time/age. ( The "marks" and lines in this sketch are not self-evident of course, but there should be a sense of "horizon" and structure. Note also that I've ignored the usual convention of moving from left-to-right to capture the passage of time).
