Dream
In the dream one of the students’ projects is to photo-journal a mountain expedition of their choosing; several students actually do it, but a few cheat – cutting and pasting material from the internet and handing it in as if they had really gone on the journey. I say to one of them, ‘Our fingers scroll at the pace of angels’ thoughts because they are not about anything.’
