Drinking in the Future

Vision Statement

My purpose is to be a bridge over the divide of the patrix, to a way of Life, rooted in the tradition of Earth Stewardship and Awareness.

See LIPDSupporting Evidence for my process to create this vision statement.

Drinking from the Brook of Life

Following her meandering course up to her source
 Bowing down to the humblest of all resource
 I join my hands and cup that clear nectar
 Bringing her quenching coolness to my lips
 Drinking in the essence her boundlessness I sip

 Offering a flower to her reflective reminders
 I step inside her brilliant conversation with the sun
 and ask if she will take me to the ocean of existence
 Where her flow meets the tide, distributing her yields of richness 

She answers in a  steady roar enveloping my doubts
 Brimming with crystal clear explanations of her routes
 Mapping that which is before me, by her course inside
 Quenching my yearning heart with consolations to confide

Digiphon

I used my Dell mini (Hackintosh) to create my LIPD. I used Mac Pages, Textedit, Outlook, Google Docs and Mahara, to create, modify and resiliently document text. Photoshop app, preview and pixlr to crop, resize and clean photos. I used ithoughts for iPhone and examtime.com to create XMind maps and dropbox to host, I also used Grafito to create the PC flowchart. I used Tiki-Toki, ithoughts and Mahara-Tasks to create timelines.

Abstract & Summary of this OP

Goal

For my Learning Intentions and Pathway Design OP1B, I plan to create a container for my year. This container is a design strategy and not a rigid plan "The map is not the terrain". It is aimed to focalize my priority learning/Life goals in structure, content and dynamics.

This OP includes; four current projects I am working on now, the four OPs I plan to do this year, lists of plans and next-steps (tasks), my long-term goals and visions, skills I have and skills I aim to gain, my support networks and time-lines. These containers and this document are tools in my action-learning toolbox that I will refer to often throughout my year. 

My Strategy 

  • Narrow down my priority learning-goals
  • Outline next steps to achieve those goals
  • Assess long term objectives
  • Envision my learning-pathway connecting to my long term objectives

Feedback from previous OP's

Charles suggested I create a separate Supporting Evidence page to make navigating the core report smoother. I am taking his good advice.

Since my End of Cycle review I am editing this OP to fix grammitical errors, broken links and to explore the world-context of my projects and year.
