This week’s practice

M. C. Escher, Impossible space, 1898

Tuesday morning: at the practice room, write only 1898 and 1972 for M. C. Escher on the log. Put “Impossible space” under M. C. Escher. At one line, count 1972 once. Do not write a diagnosis beside M. C. Escher. Leave 1898 and Impossible space at the practice room.

M. C. Escher is “Impossible space” in 1898, and the figure kept beside it is 1972. This week’s practice chooses one movement or one part of one piece. Do not carry a talent order into family talk.
