Day 29 - Clark Street Beach with Jaber Alturfee

It was so good to see Jaber again, even though I still was not feeling 100%. We each grabbed branches which happened to have forked ends and made two marks at a time distinctly.  It was calm and sunny with people out walking and cross country skiing.  We went back and forth for a while, then we each independently sought out new ways to leave a mark.  I created five or six spirals around my standing position while Jaber created a large shape inside a clean snow area, then wrote in Arabic inside. 28,000 lines today.
