The purpose of this OP : Life & Career Review
I aim through observation to assess the story of my life through the lens of a permaculture design project. This output packet represents the assessment and visioning of the story of my life seen through the lens of Mollison's and Holmgren's principles. I incorporate the metaphor of water -- embracing easeful flow -- as my primary objective: a balanced happy life mimicking nature. I hope to discover myself as an observant learner and reflector creatively responding to life's opportunities. I hope to gain insight into my patterns, tools and methods embedded in my personal and cultural mythologies.

1A.2 My Stories -- Core Report
This is the main body of the Life & Career Review with five Sections
Section 1 -- Work With Nature
The first section sets water as the primary design element of my life in order to emulate nature.
Section 2 Storytelling, Synchronicity, Literary Criticism
The second section constructs the framework holding the processes, symbols and themes as I tell the story of my life.
Section 3 -- Body of Learning : Zone 0
The third section is the main body of my autobiography, told as stories of learning. Self awareness through observation helps to weave the myth. I paint myself as a Renaissance Man that seeks to broaden my skills, experience and information to include mental, physical, spiritual and emotional learning. I describe many skills, and learnings encountered on my journey.
Section 4 -- Archetypes & Identity
The fourth section talks about unifying themes and identity within the context of the story of my life.
Section 5 -- How We Learn What We Learn & Why
The fourth section, completely supplement, includes additional views on learning and identity.
Section 6 -- Conclusion : The Hero's Journey
In conclusion, I reflect on what I have learned through this assessment and where to go from here.
