Zink is the author of the book, "The Structure of Delight" which I highly recommend. As such, I also recommend using the exercise as a way of enhancing your peripheral vision or photofocus. http://www.navaching.com/hawkeen/nwalk.html Good luck, and...

I learned to night walk 30 years ago when i used to walk the dogs at night, of course, at the time, i was clueless as to what i was doing. As far as i was concerned, i just found an easy way to walk in the dark.

One exercise I do, sitting on the couch in front of the tv, is to hold a golf ball in my hand, keeping my eys focused on a point straight ahead, toss the ball straight up and try to catch it again. I vary the height and angle of the throws to add difficulty. As a side benefit, it improves eye/hand coordination, which I believe is absolutely dependent on peripheral vision. Peripheral vision is so important, and so underrated. Try driving a car without it. It truly is amazing just how observant we are if we would just stop and take notice. Michael

You don't even have to go early to get it. It's uncomfortable, and you feel like you can't see it all. However, soon you've forgotten and you're watching the whole movie. Just the observation of someone who has gotten to the movies late a couple of times.
