I think I just replied only to Brian McWhinney, and am now trying to
reach the whole group.  Those interested in path/adventure/travel
metaphors for communication may want to look at my 1992 paper in
Poetics Today (13:4), which treats the "guided/shared travel" metaphor
for communication as an extension of the "motion/travel" metaphor for
thought.  SOME of this material was also treated in my earlier 1987
BLS 13 paper.
