Signs on the horizon - would that be a sailing expression? Yes, eventually I find this to be the case. Wikipedia tells me so. Here's the Collins definition:
"If something is on the horizon, it is almost certainly going to happen or be done quite soon. But the origins aren't indicated anywhere."
Mostly, I find that there is a popular book with the title:
SIGNS ON THE HORIZONS is an enthralling contemporary memoir of one seeker’s interactions with men who have transcended the ordinary and achieved stations of spirituality and enlightenment that in the modern world we only attribute to the Biblical fathers of ancient times or to myth. Michael Sugich, an American writer who was initiated into a traditional Sufi order over forty years ago and who lived for 23 years in the sacred city of Makkah Al Mukaramah, has kept company with some of the greatest Sufi saints of the age from many parts of the world. His book is a unique eye-witness narrative of a mystical tradition...
The author seems to have more than one horizon, and I hadn't realized that would be the case. So I looked up the question :"how many horizons are there" and found this "Best Answer":
"f you are talking about the geographic idea of horizon, there are infinitely many. Horizon is not a thing or a place, but a relationship between an observer and the thing observed, usually a planet or moon."
That seems so philosophical to me, and yet this is a geometric calculation entry. There are lots of equations and calculations. It makes me appreciate Wikipedia as the keeper of knowledge.
I seem to find that Bathurst Street Park chessboard fascinating. I did this version yesterday.
