Create a simple and beautiful personal symbol in the language of earth, water, air, or fire. Draw it on the front of a t-shirt so it rests over your heart. You will wear this shirt when you complete your greatest mission.
Why? Because learning to think symbolically develops the imagination, which is essential for creativity and for understanding yourself, other human beings, and nature.
Here is my symbol: the freehoodship logo that I designed with a bit of help from my friends John and Ben. I borrowed pens from my daughter Lily to do the drawing. I think of the symbol as mostly redolent of earth and fire. I’m now ready for my greatest mission so far!
