Sitting around a table is not just a way of passing time.
It is the way the wisdom gets passed along.

Writing Exercise

This exercise for writing about life memories is adapted from Alexandra Johnson’s book:  Leaving a Trace: On Keeping a Journal.

Make three lists linked to your life: 10 dates (significant years in your life), 10 places, 10 people.  Then review your list to reduce to 4 items in each list. Finally, choose one year, one place, and one person.

Write creatively about these three, seeking for connections among them.

When I did this exercise last week, I was led to consider for the first time how a longtime friend and I went through similar experiences – leaving our academic positions for elsewhere — though for different reasons and in different decades.  The process of writing about those years led me to a deeper understanding about how our friendship stood both of us in good stead during our transitions.
