My wall is almost done, or rather, it's at least coming along nicely. I still need to make some decisions about the graphics for it. Here's the plan for the moment. I want to have the graphics/ directions in three parts. The first being a left shoe print with the text "step #1" and "place". The second, on the pedal, a right print will have "step #2" and "press". The last will probably become part of the title "step #3 - push to reset". Place, press, and push, cute. Screen printing it seems like a good option. I want to print out some different options on the computer and get some opinions when the time comes. Michelle and I did stuff tonight. She came over to see the wall. She posed the question as to if I need the graphics at all. My answer at the time was that it might be important for safety to have the left foot placed back away from the wall prior to pressing the pedal with the right. I may be able to get away with just some grip tape on those two surfaces. When you approach it from the back I would think that you would be inclined to step on the back one first just because it's the first thing you come to. That is, only if you knew that they were something to be stepped on. I would still need the directions for " push to reset" somewhere. I want to make sure they read that before they do it. They don't have to know exactly what it means until they have the opportunity to put two and two together, when they realize something happens that can be reset. I might also have to separate that space off and only allow one person in at a time. It might function like my meditation on movement that I did over the summer. The group of waiting participants might have only the sound and the people coming out from which to gather what goes on in the room. That Michelle, she's a thinker. She'll have to come talk more often.
