“As J.J. Gibson’s psychological school at Cornell University maintained, the world affords nesting and sheltering, nourishing and quenching, adventuring and playing. The world is made less of nouns than of verbs. It doesn’t consist merely in objects and things; it is filled with useful, playful, and intriguing opportunities. The oriole doesn’t see a branch, but an occasion for perching; the cat doesn’t see a thing we call an empty box, it sees safe hiding for peering. The bear doesn’t smell honeycomb, but the opportunity for delicious feeding. The world is buzzing and blooming with information, which is always available and never absent.”

from The Soul’s Code by James Hillman

Last Saturday, I shared with you the first part of The Self-Taught Life prototype. Thank you to those of you who shared your experience with it. I've made a couple of improvements already. Mainly that I encourage you to come armed with a notebook and a pencil. :)

If you went through the first section, you'll remember that the three responses to listening to your life were Action, Contemplation, or Acceptance. If you chose Action, that path is available to you now.

• Start from the Action path
• Start from the beginning

Go forth, and let me know how it goes for you!

Thanks for being here,

Sarah Avenir
