Try it. Touch the clue, then look outside.
A drawing, not a path
Which way
A compass answers heading. The gold mark is our picture of which way, not a road in the water.
The real instrument is the horizon
Walk a scribble. Stop. Point home before you look. At dusk, face the place the Sun went down. Do not stare at it. Look at the blue sky beside it. Tonight, is there a wheel of stars, or only a glow?
