WeekWord: CYNOSURE

Junebug is hosting the WeekWord this week:  cynosure:  a guide, a center of attention, the tail of the dog, a comic book city in a bubble. Cynosure is not a word in my daily vocabulary.  But it relates to the title of my blog,No Polar Coordinates.  The Pole Star, or North star, Polaris, is a guide for mariners and hikers, but this is an unthemed blog of ramblings and thoughts, art and photos, etc,, thus the name.

I worked as a planetarium director for many years, and as a solo hiker on trail-less mountains.  The pole star is important to me.

Creativity is another cynosure in my life.

Cynosures for me:  Love, honesty, the environment, honoring commitments.  I have no time to think right now.

I will sign up for the WeekWord if time allows. (Unfinished post)

some very interesting takes on the word. you hiked alone on trail-less mountains? wow! I tend to get lost on the ones with trails. of course, being dyslexic doesn't help. do you hike at night? is that a silly question? I'm just a novice hiker.
