I connected with three students from other book groups to watch King Lear, the group assignment being to look through the lens of Type Two Connectors. I enjoyed my time with the others, the food and the discussion; but at first I did not like the play or see it’s relevance. The week after the viewing the play, though, I began to see--- plenty! Only after is when I began to see the play’s themes and the universal type’s themes everywhere: relinquishing power and control, humility, aging, planning on who will take care of you as you get older, giving to get, pridefulness, the quick flash of personality change when your self image is threatened, etc. I’m not sure Lear deserved what he got, but it is prompting me to pay attention to some of these themes more. The group experience has enriched my life and I am grateful for it all. --Corinne
What is good about an interdisciplinary, professionally-led, vibrant community of students in Portland?
"A lake evaporates upward and thus gradually dries up; but when two lakes are joined they do not dry up so readily, for one replenishes the other. It is the same in the field of knowledge.
Knowledge should be a refreshing and vitalizing force. It becomes so only through stimulating intercourse with congenial friends with whom one holds discussion and practices application of the truths of life.
In this way learning becomes many-sided and takes on a cheerful lightness, whereas there is always something ponderous and one- sided about the learning of the self-taught."
