Landscapes
Have you ever thought of your life or your career as a landscape? It’s an instructive thought experiment. What does the landscape look like? Does it meander like a river? If so, what do the twists and turns represent? What have been turbulent rapids and calm stretches, abrupt waterfalls and dam barriers along the way? When did you journey over steep mountains and through shadowed valleys? Where did you find places of community in which to settle or areas of wilderness in which to wander? Each landmark is important – and together they make the unique terrain of your life.
