After two weeks of intensive computer usage, I found that I didn't even want to turn on my computer until today-Monday. I guess I needed a computer-free zone for a couple of days!

What I find myself doing these past few days is trying to make connections between what I 'knew' before I came to the Institute, and what I learned there. A story was told in a wonderful and powerful way during these weeks, and I want to take that story and translate it into some of the other language that I have been used to using.  I love the language of the story we learned/created but I feel that in order to fully share the story, I need to know what the parallel vocabulary is. There are many theories of mind, and many words to describe overlapping processes, and I strengthen my understanding of one by comparing/contrasting it with others.  So I'm still thinking; I'm looking for parallels; I'm trying to take stories told in different ways, and by asking questions, find a way of telling the story that answers more of my questions.

And my mantra will now always be: trying to get it less wrong.
