What if we had an evolving metaphor, a living image, to describe our life?
“The Village” is a personal metaphor of mine, and I want to share it with you and invite you to create your own metaphor.
As explorers of our inner world, it is sometimes troublesome to understand what we are “doing.” Legibility for others and for ourselves is important, so that we may tell our story and understand ourselves and others. Especially in the hot summers of productive hustling and bustling, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture.
When I sat down at the end of 2021 to plan the new year with my best friend, the image of “The Village” came to me. It is an image and a system by which I explained to myself the essence of my activity in life. I’ve since taught it several times on Interintellect and at Medley Berlin.
I want to invite you to reflect on this with me, and then draw up your own version. Life can be metaphorized in so many ways: I’ve heard stories about ships, caves, symphonies, rivers etc. A good metaphor can change your language and stay with you for a long time. That’s the gift I’d like to give you.
Let me introduce you to “The Village”, and then let’s share stories on how we paint the picture of our own life, so that we may interact with ourselves effectively, satisfyingly, and joyfully. Maybe you will come up with your personal “Village”, which you can inhabit in 2023?
