Here is the essay, by Ken A Butt:
Shape
Photography & Uploading: January 1 ? March 31, 2022
A Google search and Oxford Languages lists two distinct definition
groups as a ?noun? or ?verb?. The top listings for the former include:
?the external form, contours, or outline of someone or something? and ?a
geometric figure such as a square, triangle, or rectangle?. The latter
is ?give a particular shape or form to - "most caves are shaped by the
flow of water through limestone". This would indeed make a great segue
into the thought streams of our caving members.
Of course, the word doesn?t end there. As a noun we can describe shape
as a form, appearance, configuration, formation, structure, figure,
build, physique, body, contours, lines, outline, silhouette, profile,
design, format, cut, pattern, mold and others to be sure. As verb, we
can also use the words form, fashion, make, create, mold, model, cast,
frame, sculpt, block, carve, cut, hew, whittle and more.
There are so many ways to think of how shape is a part of our daily
life; the structures that we live in and those that preserve forms of
the past. We create shapes to express both memories of the past and
shape our feelings in the present. Think of how the shaping of the past
has shaped and still shaping our world, both physically and metaphorically.
Let?s continue this project and work on the shape of the WWP in years to
come.
