Circling Back BEfore Going On



I couldn't DO this Venture Map until I'd really delved into Module 10. I don't know WHY, but I am glad I chose to circle back. I wanted to DO an "artistic" tree and ended up with this bunch of swirly lines on which I wrote my Values, Strengths, and the other Good Stuff and Precious Stuff, too, that make ME ME.

After knocking this one out I decided to try the Self-Portrait A-la-Arcimboldo. Again I thought I'd approach it as the artist instead of the student of ME that AYWM has engaged. BElow is the result of that adventure.


The funny thing, as I look at it Now, I can see that I did fill myself up and out with those things that DO represent me: colour, words, curious mixing up of many things all at once...

It would BE too bad to have just passed-by these two opportunities to get to know myself authentically...

Currie--I love your responses to the venture maps, both of them. I personally really enjoyed the tree exercise. Yours is prettier than mine. ;)

Thanks so much, Jess!!

I was really surprised that I had such a stalling-out as I got started on them. It taught me some things about myself [how wondrous, in AYWM] that while NOT earth-shattering are nonetheless intriguing. Sometimes I feel like a fly on my own wall in this process.

It was fun fiddling with the tree BEcause I got to make it dark which is cool. The actual tree I did is on white paper but Picnik let me change that. Very fun.
