<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Mi sento un po’ un cretino per essermi circondato per tutto questo tempo di una moralità falsa e inutile. Sempre a essere la persona presente e corretta, sacrificando quello che erano le mie pulsioni primitive. Sempre a controllarmi fino a non sapere più quello che veramente volevo. Basta spiegazioni e basta giustificazioni. Non mi pento di averlo fatto ma voglio vivere, non sopravvivere.  Se tutto è iniziato con Wilde, perché non chiudere con lui?</p>
<blockquote><p>Le donne ci amano per i nostri difetti. Se ne abbiamo abbastanza, ci perdonano tutto, anche la nostra intelligenza.</p>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Non bisogna mai cercare di capire una donna. Le donne sono delle immagini; gli uomini sono dei problemi. Se vuoi sapere che cosa una donna veramente intenda (il che comunque è sempre pericoloso) guardala, non ascoltarla.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Ah! La forza delle donne deriva da qualcosa che la psicologia non può spiegare. Gli uomini possono essere analizzati, le donne&#8230; solo adorate.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Questa è la cosa peggiore nelle donne: vogliono sempre che siamo buoni. E se siamo buoni, quando ci incontrano, non ci amano affatto. Piace loro trovarci irrimediabilmente cattivi e lasciarci insignificantemente buoni.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Quando si è innamorati, si comincia sempre con l&#8217;ingannare se stessi e si finisce sempre con l&#8217;ingannare gli altri. Questo è ciò che il mondo chiama una &#8217;storia d&#8217;amore&#8217;.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">C&#8217;è sempre qualcosa di ridicolo nei sentimenti di chi non si ama più.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Il Libro della Vita inizia con l&#8217;immagine di un uomo e una donna in un giardino. Termina con l&#8217;Apocalisse.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Molti matrimoni al giorno d&#8217;oggi vanno a finir male per la ragionevolezza del marito più che per qualsiasi altra cosa. Come può una donna essere felice con un uomo che insiste nel trattarla come se fosse un essere perfettamente razionale?</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Quando una donna si risposa, è perché detestava il primo marito. Quando un uomo si risposa, è perché adorava la prima moglie. Le donne tentano la sorte, gli uomini la rischiano.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Il vero svantaggio del matrimonio è che rende altruisti. E le persone altruiste sono insignificanti. Mancano d’individualità.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Sono solo le persone superficiali ad avere bisogno di anni per liberarsi da un&#8217;emozione. Un uomo che sia padrone di se stesso può porre fine a un dolore con tanta facilità quanto può inventarsi un piacere.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Più si analizzano gli altri, più scompare ogni ragione d&#8217;analisi.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Solo chi è intellettualmente perso si mette a discutere.</span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">Che peccato che nella vita impariamo le lezioni quando non ci sono più utili!</span></h4>
</blockquote>
<h4><span style="font-weight:normal;">L. voglio tornare come quando ti sei innamorata di me. Non è devoluzione, è più un risveglio. Stupidamente pensavo che comportandomi cosi saremmo stati meglio&#8230; e invece <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></h4>

<description><![CDATA[La presencia del cliente y posibles clientes en las redes sociales nos someten a la dictadura del cl]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>La presencia del cliente y posibles clientes en las redes sociales nos someten a la dictadura del cliente. Nó, Usted no ha leido mál, la dictadura del cliente.<br />
¿Por qué?<br />
Estamos sometidos a las valoraciones que hacen los clientes sobre nuestros servicio en las redes sociales. Y esto suena bien, cuando estamos seguros que damos servicios de excelente calidad, comparable o superior a las que el cliente requiere o está acostumbrado a recibir.<br />
¿ Pero que pasa si nuestro servicio tiene deficiencias ?, si partimos de la idea que la perfeccón no existe, esta regla de tres nos dá como resultado la probabilidad aunque sea mínima que siempre existirá alguna deficiencia que puede ser apreciada por el cliente.<br />
Si el cliente que ha pasado por nuestro establecimiento ha apreciado alguna deficiencia y éste considera oportuno colgar un comentario negativo de nuestro establecimiento en la web, esto puede hacernos daño.<br />
El Turista de hoy, es un turista informado, es un turista que conoce la web, reserva por web, escoje el destino de sus vacaciones por la web, compara precios por la web y &#8230; antes de tomar una desición del destino y del establecimiento donde piensa ir a vacacionar quiere conocer la valoración que de este establecimiento han hecho anteriores turistas. Como comprenderan &#8211; hay que ponerse en la piel del consumidor &#8211; si vemos, leemos que al establecimiento hotelero donde pensamos contratar le han colgado unos comentarios negativos respecto a su servicio, pensamos : ¿ por que tengo que ir allí ?.<br />
Pues asi piensa el cliente, puro sentido lógico. Existen teorias que dicen que un comentario negativo de persona a persona puede convencer a 20 personas de no visitarnos, imaginarnos la traspolación de esta teoria a la web.<br />
Pues bien, ¿que podemos hacer?<br />
Tomar el toro por los cuernos. Si el cliente entra en redes sociales, nosotros tambien, con el objetivo de atajar los comentarios negativos &#8211; que no podemos evitar que aparezcan y más cuando no damos un servicio de calidad &#8211; poniendonos en contacto via red social con el cliente, comentandoles que nos queremos poner en contacto con ellos para conocer cuando y que tipo de servicio consideró inadecuado,confirmar si es verdad que se registro en el establecimiento &#8211; por que tambien puede ser un bulo &#8211; y ofrecerle una compensación con la condición -no expresa ni firmada -que rectifique el comentario en la red social, comentando lo serios que somos y como le hemos resuelto el problema.<br />
Sabemos que lo ideal es que nuestros clientes reciban y perciban un servicio de calidad, solo esto nos asegura que los comentarios negativos acerca de nuestros establecimientos y servicios sean positivos, que al igual que los comentarios negativos nos ponen en la mira de potenciales clientes.<br />
Sin embargo si ya tenemos el problema &#8211; comentarios negativos de nuestros establecimientos y servicio &#8211; hay que atajarlo y no permitir que el potencial cliente nos vea como irresponsables que no tomamos cartas en el asunto y rectificamos.</p>
<p>Espero que esto les ayude.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I have always been attracted to humanism without really knowing what it is.  I think because it feel]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I have always been attracted to humanism without really knowing what it is.  I think because it feels very safe; no supernatural beliefs.  A morality and sense of compassion without a sense of the divine.  Or maybe it is not without a sense of the divine.  Or maybe I just don&#8217;t understand it.  I think I am actually thoroughly convinced that there is an animating spirit in everything, and therefore although the universalist nature of humanism attracts me, I will never truly be a humanist.  I like having a sense of magic, imagination, and delight as I walk down the street.  It keeps me light-hearted and positive.  I feel connected to a world greater than my existence and not so alone.</p>
<p>I guess I am not an existentialist either, though the dark romance of that philosophy attracts me.</p>
<p>Although I may not be a humanist, neither do I believe in God.  Or in a god.  Or goddess.  I like to think about different deities and what they represent in the human unconscious, or what roles they fill for those who believe in them.  Even though I have an altar with several figures with whom I communicate regularly, it&#8217;s as though I am actually talking to different parts of myself, personified through external characters.  And when I take time to talk to them, or to walk in the woods, or play with the Tarot, I talk to my deeper, divine self, and thus to the divinity, soul, psyche, spirit that is everywhere and is a foundational matrix, fundamental, integral to our existence.</p>
<p>In fact, I do almost believe, or I think that I do, that my sense of self (ego) is as much a character as any Tarot card, and contains as superficial an understanding of the fullness of who I really am.  Because who I am is much greater than just my ego.  It is much deeper and darker, much higher and lighter, and certainly broader, in my connections to the people and eco and world around me.  Much, much more mystery than anything known or knowable.  Which is totally fascinating and exciting!  How incredible, that I am surrounded by mystery, with eternity ahead of me to be discovered.  Even though it is terribly difficult sometimes when it involves my own subconscious.</p>
<p>I want to explore more about who I am, who I believe anyone or thing is beyond what we see and interact with directly.  In a later post!</p>

<title><![CDATA[The Process Involved To Make a Mind Map]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://businessmanage.coolblogsite.org/the-process-involved-to-make-a-mind-map/">Taken from this source, all rights respectfully acknowledged.</a></p>
<p>People trained in public education may be unaware of what it is to make a mind map, <span style="color:#ff0000;">this is undoubtedly true because teachers are not normally trained in the used of a Mind Map. As a former teacher and senior educator I find this shocking as it is such a useful and effective way of learning, improving recall, planning and researching. We don&#8217;t expect people to run on one leg but we train people to teach using only the left half of their brain!</span> and not realize how useful it can be. This sort of thinking is associated with the right side of people’s brains rather than the left. With left-brain thinking, thought processes are more logical and linear. You do what the Red Queen advised Alice in the Wonderland books: “Begin at the beginning. Then proceed until you come to the end. Then stop.” But right-brain thought doesn’t travel in straight lines. It works more on the basis of a picture, a sort of visual map of associated ideas. <span style="color:#ff0000;">And in COLOUR.</span></p>
<p>The use of such mind tools isn’t intended to be exclusionary and shut left-brain thinking right out. Rather, people who talk about these tools hope that the world can learn to add right-brain thinking as a method that works in partnership with the centuries old, tried-and-true methods employed by the left brain. The goal is to discover relationships and possibilities that might never have been recognized in the left-brain way of approaching knowledge. Learning to make a mind map may be a way of expanding that knowledge beyond its previous boundaries. <span style="color:#ff0000;">Try a simple experiment: close you eyes and have some say the name of an object to you (eg CAT) what happens in your head? You get an image of a cat not the word printed out, you might get the smell or taste or sensation of a cat but certainly not the word. We recall in images yet we are expected to learn in text. the two go together, thats how we learn to read: Image and Association.</span></p>
<p>So how does one begin making a mind map? One starts with a central concept or idea, written on a piece of paper, a white or blackboard, or perhaps on a computer screen. Then the brainstorming begins <span style="color:#ff0000;">brainstorming is not the same as Mind Mapping and shoud not be confused with it, however it is a very common misconception</span>. One can do this alone, but it’s even more effective with several people. Everyone tosses out any idea they think of that relates to that central concept, and all ideas are written down. Once everyone is done, all the concepts are analyzed and gathered into broad themes that suggest themselves, essentially doing visual mapping to link common ideas together.</p>
<p>By brainstorming like this and using mind mapping techniques, sometimes new connections are discovered that weren’t noticed before. Things might be seen to affect the central issue that no one previously realized had anything to do with it. Left-brain linear thinking concentrates more on the fine details of an issue, while as one works to make a mind map, it becomes a means of seeing the bigger picture, or discovering the constellation of ideas forming the wider environment of the issue. These two ways of approaching a problem don’t need to be in competition, but can work together to form a more comprehensive whole.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">This is a good article but it misses huge uses of Mind Mapping: LEARNING, RECALL, RECORDING, PLANNING and MEMORY. Mind Mapping is certainly not brainstorming. It has many other more powerful functions. In education which is where the article started so well MM should be taught so that everyone can use  more of their potential. This article also confuses the concept of brain storming which is usually a group creativity/ideas generating exercise with the process of Mind Mapping which is a tool which can be used for LEARNING, RECALL, RECORDING, PLANNING and MEMORY as well as creativity exercises.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Encontrar una oportunidad de negocio en casa en Internet es un poco más fácil que encontrar una aguj]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Encontrar una oportunidad de negocio en casa en Internet es un poco más fácil que encontrar una aguja en un pajar.<br />
Como el nombre lo dice, la red de cobertura global (www por sus siglas en Inglés), la Internet, es una gran aldea global llena de diferentes ideas y oportunidades, algunas buenas, otras, algunas legitimas y otras no.<br />
Cuando estas buscando por oportunidad de negocio legitima, la gran oportunidad que deseas, la que llevará tu negocio al siguiente nivel y te liberará de tu trabajo diario y te enviará a tu libertad financiera, tienes el mundo entero abierto para ti con el click de un botón.<br />
El lado positivo de tener tanta información es que puede ser muy útil, pero por otro lado también puede ser sobrecogedor y muy confuso, hay tantas oportunidades de donde escoger, ¿Cuál escogerás? y ¿Cómo sabrás separar la correcta de la incorrecta?<br />
Si quieres empezar un negocio en casa en Internet debes establecer algunas reglas y metas para ti mismo y seguirlas una a una. Preguntate a ti mismo ¿Qué es lo que realmente quieres, y como vas a conseguirlo?. Tu negocio en Internet es una inversión a futuro, es un gran paso, y establecer metas y condiciones es necesario.<br />
Una vez que escribas tus metas y reglas; empieza a investigar las oportunidades de negocio que te ayudaran a conseguir estas metas, en tus propios terminos.<br />
Las cosas que necesitas revisar son:<br />
1. ¿Es este nicho apropiado para mi?<br />
Preguntate que es lo que quieres, encuentra un nicho que ames y entiendas, un nicho que te apasione, y que sepas que será fácil para ti promoverlo y trabajar en el todos los días.<br />
2. ¿Es esta oportunidad de negocio legitima?<br />
Mucha gente tiene miedo de tomar este gran paso y empezar un negocio en casa usando Internet. Hay muchas estafas en Internet, la única forma de evitarlas es haciendo una investigación profunda y mirar si la oportunidad en cuestión es legitima. Buscando reseñas, preguntando en foros relacionados e inclusive contactando a las personas en los testimonios; haz todo lo necesario para asegurarte que estás escogiendo correctamente.<br />
3. ¿Esta oportunidad de negocio me ayudará a lograr mis metas?</p>
<p>Revisa si la oportunidad de negocio funcionará contigo en el largo plazo, que tanta comisión paga, hay opciones de actualización, cuales son los beneficios, como pagan, etc.<br />
4. ¿Esta oportunidad me costará dinero? en caso que si, ¿Esta dentro de mi presupuesto?<br />
Si estás buscando empezar un negocio desde la casa, luego te costará algo de dinero, distinto a una oportunidad de trabajar desde el hogar, donde estas trabajando para conseguir dinero. Establece un presupuesto y respetalo, si la oportunidad de negocio es muy costosa para tu presupuesto, dejala, habrá otras oportunidades y serán más economicas.<br />
5. ¿Cumple esta oportunidad con las reglas y condiciones que establecí para mi?<br />
Luego de revisar todos los aspectos de la oportunidad ve a tus metas y mira si esta oportunidad te puede ayudar a lograrlas, y haz lo mismo con con las condiciones que estableciste para ti.</p>
<p>Recuerda que esto no es juego de niños y que un negocio en Internet es tan real como cualquier otro y necesita se tratado de la misma forma.</p>
<p>Tomate tu tiempo investigando, pero sin importar que pase, no abandones tus sueños y sigue buscando hasta que encuentres la oportunidad de negocio en casa que cumpla con todas las reglas y condiciones que estableciste desde el principio.<br />
Claudio Bricchetto es propietari de su negocio en Internet donde podra encontrar asesoramiento ético e idóneo en relación a ello.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ohayo Gozaimasu ^^</p>
<p>Pagi ini karena tidur di lantai aku jadi bisa bangun lebih cepat meski entah kenapa kemarin (lagi-lagi) baru bisa tidur pukul dua belas. Anyway, tadi aku tiba-tiba kepikiran untuk mengetik hal serupa:</p>
<blockquote><p>Kupikir pohon-pohon dulu juga seperti manusia, mereka berkuasa. Namun suatu saat muncul binatang yang berjalan di atas tanah. Kemudian binatang menjadi berkuasa. Mereka pikir tidak akan ada entitas lain yang lebih hebat daripada mereka. Namun kemudian muncul manusia. Manusia sama seperti mereka yang sebelumnya ada, berpikir bahwa mereka adalah penguasa. Mereka dikaruniai semua kebaikan yang tidak diperoleh binatang dan tumbuhan. Sampai kemudian muncul lagi makhluk baru. Untuk menguasai manusia.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hm. Who knows. Anyways, bentar kuliahnya jam 1 . Tapi aku sepertinya akan melakukan sesuatu dulu sebelum kuliah, entahlah apa. Duh, sudah tanggal 24 ajaaaa. -__-</p>
<p>Btw, have a nice day, Gia.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>De curand am fost implicat in alegerea unui nume ce, cu putin noroc si mult efort, va deveni un brand, caci toata lumea isi doreste un brand, nu-i asa, marca e demodata. Sa va spun cum s-a desfasurat: intai brainstormingul, desfasurat ca la carte, mai ales dupa regula &#8220;nimic nu se comenteaza, totul se aduna&#8221;. Am adunat la final 483 de variante de nume. Sa nu uit, este vorba de numele unui site Internet, activitatea desfasurandu-se in mediul online.</p>
<p>Pasul al doilea: critica. Toate numele care nu au sunat bine sau nu au dat bine cu www in fata si cu .ro in spate au fost excluse. Rezultatul: 128 de variante unice. Inca multe drept pentru care am aplicat regulile de baza: sa fie scurt, sa fie sonor, sa fie un nume propriu, sa fie simplu, etc. Am ajuns la 35 de nume dezirabile, majoritatea pe gustul si profilul nostru.</p>
<p>In continuare, verificarea disponibilitatii domeniului .ro, etapa care a mai &#8220;ars&#8221; 18 denumiri, ramanand deci o lista scurta de 17 variante una si una. Cum alegi cand toate merg? Tabel, valori, valorile site-ului, ale afacerii, nu valori numerice (inca), prioritati, ponderi, calcule si in final au ramas 6 variante. Urmeaza verificarea la OSIM pentru a ne asigura in prima faza ca nu vom avea opozitie pe denumirile pe care urmeaza sa le comunicam, in al doilea rand pentru a le inregistra. In final va ramane un nume care, cu mult noroc si inca mai mult efort va deveni brand, un site vizitat si cu o multime de clienti.</p>
<p>Cred ca numele articolului ar fi putut fi si &#8220;Branding cu costuri minime&#8221;, nu-i asa?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In der modernen Architektur gewinnt der <a href="http://www.plissee-jalousien-rollos.de/">Sonnenschutz</a> durch die Verwendung großer Glasflächen immer mehr Bedeutung. Nicht nur aus funktioneller Schutzfaktor, sondern auch als architektonisches Gestaltungsmittel.</p>
<p>So erhalten mit verschiedenen Markisen, Außenjalousien oder Rollläden die glatten Fassaden großer Wohn- oder Bürogebäude ein interessanteres und abwechslungsreiches Gesicht. Farben, Formen und Strukturen verändern sich je nach dem Stand der Sonne und als  großzügige Werbeflächen ersetzen sie herkömmliche Schilder oder Leuchtreklamen.<!--more--></p>
<p>Auch bei der Beschattung von Freiflächen, z. b. in der Gastronomie, in Freizeit- und Erholungsparks, Sportstätten und Open-Air-Konzerten oder Ausstellungen erfüllen Sonnenschutzanlagen wie <a href="http://www.couchkissen.de/sonnensegel.html">große Sonnensege</a>l auch noch andere Funktionen. Weithin sichtbar ziehen Sie die Besucher magisch an und setzen durch ihr graziles, luftig schwebendes und farbenfrohes Erscheinungsbild wirkungsvolle Akzente. Durch ihre flexible Formgebung, unkomplizierten und schnellen Auf- und Abbau sind sie für jeden Zweck, auch im privaten Gebrauch, zu haben.</p>
<p>Ein weiteres Highlight in Sachen Sonnenschutz sind die anpassungsfähigen Plissees, die man wie eine zweite Haut an jede Fensterscheibe verspannen kann. Vor allem große Glaskonstruktionen wie bei Wintergärten, Schwimmhallen und sonstigen Fensterfronten, die in viele kleine Glasflächen unterteilt sind, lassen sich auf diese Weise effektiv beschatten und vielseitig gestalten. Jede einzelne Glasfläche kann mit einem Plissee separat bestückt werden und dadurch der gesamten Fensterfront eine abwechslungsreiche Struktur durch Form und Farbe verliehen werden. Selbst runde Fensterformen, spitze, trapezförmige oder schräge Glasflächen sind vor den <a href="http://www.raumtextilienshop.de/">filigranen Plissees</a> nicht sicher. Sicher allerdings vor starker Sonneneinstrahlung, unerwünschten Einblicken und Langeweile. Jedes Plissee kann nach Bedarf nach oben oder unten verschoben werden und so nur in bestimmten Bereichen im Raum Schatten oder Sichtschutz erzeugt werden. Die schlichte Eleganz der plissierten Stoffe passt sich stilsicher jeder Umgebung an, ganz gleich ob in einem modernen Wohnraum, einem trendigen Café, einer Zahnarztpraxis oder in einem Museum.</p>

<description><![CDATA[La teoría. “Una idea es la imagen sobre algo que se forma en nuestra mente”. Pero a diferencia de la]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>La teoría. <em>“Una <a href="http://www.definicionabc.com/general/idea.php" target="_blank"><strong>idea</strong></a> es la imagen sobre algo que se forma en nuestra mente”</em>. Pero a diferencia de las ideas comunes, la <span style="text-decoration:underline;">idea creativa</span> hace nacer conceptos, inventos, visiones de la realidad antes no existentes.</p>
<p>La práctica. En blanco. Pensar, volver a pensar, pensar un poco más. Un garabato: borrado. ¡Menuda estupidez! Rabia. Malhumor. Impaciencia. Bloqueo. Listados interminables de <em>brainstorming</em>. Tensión. Nervios. Análisis. Irritabilidad. Levantarse de la cama corriendo. ¡La inspiración! ¿O no? Apuntarse cuatro palabras en una hoja medio rota, cuatro palabras de las cuales tres son totalmente ininteligibles al día siguiente.</p>
<p>¿Dónde está esa bombilla encendida que debería flotar encima de mi cabeza? ¡Tengo una idea! ¿Qué hago con ella? ¿Es buena? Pienso más. No sé por qué. Es inercia. Es inconformismo. Es autoexigencia. Suspicacia y recelo. Escepticismo e incredulidad.</p>
<p>Para que luego no se valoren las ideas, ni la dureza del proceso creativo y conceptual. O se critique a la publicidad, tachándola con los clichés de siempre.</p>
<p>No rindo homenaje a las ideas, sino <span style="text-decoration:underline;">a quiénes las idean</span>: como decía mi profesor de matemáticas, los <em>ideotas</em>. No nos confundamos. No es un insulto. Creativamente hablando, distingo a un “idiota” de un “ideota”. Mientras el primero no se despega de las influencias ajenas, el segundo, observador e inquieto, indagador y perspicaz, va más allá. ¿Dónde están los límites entre la imitación y la inspiración? Son difuminados, turbulentos.</p>
<p>Un ejemplo. <strong>“Creatividad 24 horas”</strong>. Genialidad “made in” <a href="http://www.associaciopublicitat.com/web2004/index.html" target="_blank"><em>Drac Novell</em></a>. Consiste en realizar en parejas una pieza gráfica en un plazo que no llega a las 24 horas. Si bien una buena idea puede tardar días en aparecer, este concurso pone al límite la capacidad creativa de los participantes. Mi experiencia. eBingo, Central Cafè, L’Illa. Tercer intento frustrado. <em>“A la tercera NO va la vencida”</em>. ¿Dónde estarán estas tres ideas?, ¿en un baúl?, ¿en un cajón de un almacén? Puede que no sean tan malas. Soy ilusa: ¿estarán encima de una mesa de algún departamento creativo?, ¿sería fortuna o inmoralidad?, ¿una suerte o un robo? Y, en este caso, ¿sería ser “idiota” o “ideota”?</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-156 alignnone" title="idea" src="http://larevoluciondelcaracol.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/idea.jpg" alt="" width="46" height="62" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was just listening to KUOW Weekday.  Steve Sher was talking to a few artists who use maps or make maps as their art.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been reading this book <em>Terrapsychology </em>by Craig Chalquist.  His basic premise is that places or locations or earth or land or cities or regions or whatever you want to call it &#8211; that earth has it&#8217;s own psyche.  Not just ecopsychology, which supposes that human psyche is incomplete without relationship to the earth, that ecology is a source of healing and home and an important resource to protect.  But that the earth itself has soul and psychology.  Craig argues not that there are spirits inhabiting the various land features &#8211; naiads, dryads, etc &#8211; but that the spirit or soul of the earth acts directly on human psychology.  That in fact the way in which we inhabit a place is determined as much by the psychology of that place &#8211; the earth and the history &#8211; as it is determined by what we as humans bring, our intentions and desires.</p>
<p>This idea fascinates me because I have long wondered and discussed and at times bemoaned the effect of Olympia&#8217;s weather on my psyche.  Last night during that wind and lightning and rain storm, my internal atmosphere echoed the electric flashes and winds and torrents and it was overwhelming!  My internal climate is changing, and I suspect this is as much to do with the earth&#8217;s process of climate change as with my own process.</p>
<p>It also fascinates me as a piece in the puzzle that I am exploring currently, the puzzle of where I want to go and what I am doing.</p>
<p>I have been puzzling for a week or so about how to combine the different tools or pieces that I find demanding my attention so that they can be used together to create a somewhat unified experience.  The program about maps gave me an idea for combining story and place: a map of stories.  Actually, this isn&#8217;t a new idea for me.  When I was in my early twenties, I had an idea for a project for a gift for my dad, who is a cartographer, wherein I would draw out a map of the town where I grew up, and on the map I would write stories about the different places, either my own stories or ones that my dad and I shared.</p>
<p>A map of stories would be a way to get at the intersection of personal story and place.  What about a map of myths of a place &#8211; maybe these aren&#8217;t myths like the Greek myths, but there are ideas or archetypes that inhabit many physical places.  Evergreen, for example.  I know there are many myths about Evergreen; archetypal stories that explain the fundamental nature of the college and and the land.  How about Olympia as a whole, and smaller places within it.  Looking at Olympia as a member of a specific community within it, what about the different punk or not-punk houses that create a network of homes and people?  The projects, gardens, the co-ops&#8230; And then there are a whole lot of other people in Olympia who would look at those same places in a very different way and have different myths about them.  Capitol Forest, Nisqually Estuary, Capitol Lake&#8230;  The names of these places, what stories do they tell?</p>
<p>I still am thinking about the dance and movement part, and what I want to do with older myths.</p>
<p>I want to tie all of this together as spiritual social change work.  Explicitly and specifically, no apologies.  I want to facilitate connection to place and body through ritual and myth to create social change and personal connection to the divine, which I think go hand in hand.  Non-denominational &#8211; not Buddhist, Shamanistic, Unitarian, Sufi &#8211; maybe with components of those, but something altogether different.</p>
<p>My use of the word &#8220;place&#8221; rather than &#8220;nature&#8221; is very deliberate, because it is not just connection to nature but specifically connection to place, including human residences, that intrigues me.</p>
<p>Obviously this is still developing &#8211; and likely it will continue to develop throughout my life.  Let me know what you think!  Are you interested?  Do these ideas grab you?  Are there related things that you think about??  Would you be interested in working with a group of people to make a map of Olympia mythology?  Let me know!</p>
