Yesterday I introduced the subject of throughlines — the significant patterns that keep emerging throughout one’s life — and displayed mine on a timeline showing how each developed over time. [Note: at the end of this post is an exercise I developed to help you identify the throughlines of your life.]
Spokes of a wheel
A timeline shows sequence. A wheel shows origin. Here my five throughlines radiate outward as spokes from a center — Scattergood Friends School, where so much of what became my life first took shape…
In this graphic, each branch of my throughlines has circles that show how the subjects emerged over the course of my life and which throughline they are related to. The graphic is interactive. Clicking on any one of the circles will display information about that topic.
What are the throughlines of your life?
This is an interactive, reflective exercise to think about what your throughlines are:
